Bob. The smog station personnel will have no idea what was required or
original on your car anymore, I know they didn't and don't for the TR. That
arcane info is just not in their data banks. If you meet the emissions
standards you will pass. Talking from personal experience.

Dean,
Please! keep it quiet, we don't want the whole country moving out here,
they'll just clog up those glorious mountain roads and pristine beaches :-)
Seriously though, I think the problem many of us will have should these laws
be applied as is to our ancient chariots is not the emissions, but the
equipment. The rules require that the car be equipped as built, so for
example, my very clean running, non-poluting, TR3A will fail because I don't
have the original air filters. Any mainfold changes, carb replacements,
exhaust repairs would presumably also be cause for failure. Better wouldn't
matter - if it doesn't look like the picture in the book, it is no go. At
least it seems that that that will be the case.
