California Registration on my IM

FM Former Member
I just returned from the smog referee with a FAIL. My car was running too rich for the specs of the 1966 case as cross referenced by the technician. Per the referee, they will not exempt the car as the DMV has it as a 2005 special contruction (per DMV requirements?) and therefore will be subject to bi-annual testing, yet it will only be to 1966 specs that it must adhere to. Anyway, I'm not about to adjust the carbs (even the tech said the car runs really nice) or rejet them. It seems that I will be in line January 2nd for my certificate of sequence with the other SB100 people. The state already has their fees from me and I am sure that this is the most important element of this whole equation to the state of California. Anyway, I have to agree with Bill Steele that SB100 will be the best way to have the car registered for permanent exemption. It's a good thing I still have the Washington registration, title and plates that are good through 2/2006.

I doubt that CB would build a 2110cc engine on a 1966 single port 1300 cc base engine. That would not be a great core to increse to that size engine. Is that what the real engine block serial number cross references to? Guess requirements might be even stricter for a 1971 though. Glad I'm in state that doesn't do emissions on cars over 25 year old. Years ago in NJ I had an 1967 AH3000 with 3 dual throat side draft Webers - each inspection year I would swap out the intake and carbs for the old OEM dual SUs just to get thru inspection. I was lucky to do 50 MPH with the old carbs on but it pased inspection.
