0327 Is Now California legal!
Got a call this afternoon from the shop. 0327 has now passed the California smog test. It wasn't easy; it took that heat riser part chp1982 found, changeout and correct routing of all vacuum hoses, tuneup, and replacing all 3 CAT converters.
I will pick it up tomorrow; have an appointment next week at the DMV to complete registration as a historical vehicle. After that it will be a drive to Santa Clara, CA for a visit to the differential shop, then I will take it by my buddy's body shop to show him so he can schedule it for body and paint. That will be the most difficult part as his shop is busy and it may be there for a while. With a little luck it will be ready for the Ripon Emergency Vehicle show in October, which is the premiere event in Northern California.

Just drove 0327 home from the shop. Starts up right away; I love it when you just turn the key and an engine starts immediately, cold or hot. Idles nice and smooth at 950 rpm, and has all the power I remember. And it is way under the California emissions limits. That is a good rule of thumb indicator of an engine's overall health. For me that's good enough and I won't need to rebuild it.

Yes, it will have to be retested but only every two years. Even though it is registered as a Historical vehicle, and is only supposed to be used for special occasions, it still is treated as any other streetable vehicle. It makes no sense, but that's the way it is in California. Things don't have to make sense here...
