Pugs,
It still has the stock manifold and smog pump installed to maintain
originality in judging. I have no idea of the emissions effect of changing
the carburettor and cam. It might pass an emissions test, but it never had
one before or after. (Initially I found loopholes to just avoid the hassle
and now that the car is over 25 years old I don't think it is required here
anyhow.) Speak with Terry or a better yet good carb tuner if you can find
one. You might check with some of the AMC mechanics and mail list folks;
they have similar cars they run on the street. Some states also give you a
waiver once you spend a given sum (~$200 or so) to bring the emissions into
compliance. Good luck.
