That sucks about the '83. But that's how it goes sometimes. When my uncle first got my '76 it didn't have any smog stuff and at the time it didn't matter. All it had to do was a safety check. This was early '80s. Then the laws changed here and he had to do the smog stuff. This was at the same time we put a smallblock 400 in it. He had a hard time with the Nazi smog guys. Finally he got it to pass. When I got the truck in or around '97 I had a terrible time getting the thing to pass. Looking back I think the smog stuff was really the problem and not the motor, but that's my story. I'm glad some laws have changed around here for the better.
