[Iron Woode]

I just got back from getting my Emmission tests done for my 1987 Ford Crown Victoria.

Woohoo! Check these results out:

Speed : 40km/h

Test / Limit / Reading / Result

HC ppm / 104 / 23 / PASS

CO% / 0.58 / 0.00 / PASS

NO ppm / 1126 / 40 / PASS

RMP / 2164 / VALID
Dilution / 10.90 / VALID

Speed : Curb Idle

Test / Limit / Reading / Result

HC ppm / 300 / 12 / PASS

CO% / 1.5 / 0.00 / PASS

NO ppm / N/A / N/A / N/A

RPM / 685 / VALID

Dilution / 08.70 / VALID

OMG!!!!!!

And that is a 302 (5L) V8 in a fullsize older sedan with 106000 KM on the odometer. :Q

Take that eco-nazis! I have better emmission compliance than many new cars do. 😉

You do realize your requirments as a older car are MUCH lower, newer cars have much lower requirments. My 5.7 V8 does just as well as yours does.

no, but I have 4 converters stock. I think 2 are not really cats though. Not sure.

interesting... how easy is it to fail an emissions test?

no emissions test required here, well not until 2005.

I saw a 1955 Ford Pickup get a perfect score on the emissions test. Its not really that surprising.

Anyway, the econoboxes still get better mileage than you do.

But I think your car is way cooler.
