[6pack] Emissions in the future-is retrofitting possible?

[TR6UO at aol.com]

Larry,
Taking a note from California, the best they could hope to accomplish is to  
pass legislation requiring older cars to retain original emissions equipment.  
Taking them off the road would be political suicide. Retrofitting a  
non-catalytic car is just impossible. 
 
California legislators managed to eliminate a hard-won rolling 30-year  
exemption with AB 2683 a few years ago that now only exempts 1975 and older cars  
from current smog requirements. Thanks for nothing, State Senator Mike  
Machado. We'll be hearing from these guys again before it's over. My point here  is 
that, regrettably, California usually leads the pack on this stuff and they  
haven't been successful in taking older cars off the road either. My advice is  
to keep your smog pumps, etc., if only on the shelf.
 
Steve
