Well, yes and no Jim, (and Gents)<G>!!!
As most of you know (or have realized over the years) I 'service'
LBC. As such I also have to work on newer ones than BJ-8 (I enjoy
eating<G>) but no 'newer' than 1980. That includes MGBs & Midgets.
NO, the "shape of things to come" will NEVER grace my drive!!
Just yesterday I answer a 1979 MGB "Pass Smog Test" question

However, in my experience of couple decades:
1] Change oil/oil filter, Air Filter & Spark Plugs JUST prior to going.
2] Fill up with Shell Hi-test.
NOTHING else has ever worked for me nor my Customers?!?!?
3] Go for a drive of a 100+ miles or so ONE-WAY.
4] Re-fill with Shell Hi-test.
5] Drive from point X drive DIRECTLY to test station.
6] Do NOT sit 'idling' whilst waiting!!
If you don't pass the first time, lean the carb
out to point of barely running and try again.

The above has also NEVER failed me with both my '70 Caminos!!
