List,
I have had similar problems getting my '75 TR6 to pass emissions here in
Northern Virginia. My car passes at the 2500 rpm test, but fails at the
idle test. I have had the carbs (stromburg) rebuilt, and have had a variety
of mechanics try to find a "tune" that will allow me to pass. We always
come short on the idle test. I have a Kent "Fast Road" cam, and most
peoples opinion is that this cam does not allow the valves to shut
completely at idle, allowing unburnt fuel to pass out the exhaust. I
believe they call the process "blow by" or something like that.
Let me know if anyone agrees or disagrees with any of these statements!!

>Another option:
You could try moving to a state where the emissions law are not as
strict!!!
