I've heard the exact same thing for Cali. In OH, all that matters is it passes the sniffer if it is OBD1.

Do Not PM me your technical questions. Post them in the forum!

- Thu May 13, 2010 8:46 pm #194031 go down to a smog place and ask them

- Fri May 14, 2010 4:44 am #194139 i wouldnt think they would care...i would think some smog tech would know about wire tuck....

- Fri May 14, 2010 6:38 am #194155 Are u obd1 and what motor are u tryna smog? White tuck won't matter

- Fri May 14, 2010 9:19 am #194167 as long as all the EMISSION parts are there and hooked up, i dont think they care, so purtty much ever sensor needs to be hooked up and all the vacuum lines need to be there and goin to the rite spots

cali+emission=

this state is so strict about emissions its funnie, and they have found out its not the emissions from our cars that cause the hole in the ozone, but there gettin stricter and sticter every year

just wait there tryin to pass a law were OBD1 and older have to be smog yearly, and if your car is 1975 or older you dont have to smog, well there tryin to get that were 1969 and new have to be smoged

you gotta love cali

- Fri May 14, 2010 5:39 pm #194264 after the smog it would be a good idea to get the stock intake, casue you can get a ticket by chp, local pd or sheriff for havin a non carb intake.., this is wat i did, i got the stock intake wit a K&N filter

nd im in socal, if that question was towards me..lol

- Fri May 14, 2010 5:55 pm #194267 yea i would iether get a legit CAI or a stock intake...my dads a chp and im in the hiring process to be a chp and there are some out there that are totall dickholes...no joke im sure you probably already know this tho lol

any who yea i didnt think there would be a problem cause it doesnt have anything to do with emissions really but you never know here in cali.

and the new smog law their tryin to pass about obd1 cars is horse sh!t

yes teal thats right. if you go get a motor barred with a tuck they wont even look at it. so like i did, i bard n smoged car first then did the tuck. plus ther should be no hassel with it being tucked for smog. all they do is check the timing and make sure you have the sensors ther still. so i dont think you should have to worry. but to be on the safe side i would just cruise to a local smogshop and ask. personally you will be fine. just tell em u smoged it last year and the year befor with the tuck and never had issues.

- Fri May 14, 2010 7:18 pm #194288 Yea I agree just go to a local smog shop and ask some questions. Doesn't hurt to ask. You should be fine honestly unless like everyone else is say that if your looking to bar your motor. Cali smog is so strict it's rediculous
