A word to the wise for California drivers. The Cal. Highway Patrol are getting
prepared for a big crack down on street racers. They have become a bigger
problem than drunk drivers in some places. They will be setting up road checks
in the areas the street racers seem to hang out. They have to stop everyone (
remember, they can't profile or the ACLU will go nuts). They will be looking
for any part that is not OEM and does not have a CARB #. This includes things
like MSD box or any adjustable timing or fuel device. Now even if your car is
old enough to not need a smog certificate it still must have the OEM equipment
on it and hooked up. If you have a 70 Mustang or Camaro and have an after
market air filter you can get a citation. You will have to take it to the
state referee and get everything checked and signed off. They have been
finding many Japanese cars with the wrong motors in them. Even with the serial
numbers changed they can be caught.
