Vehicle emissions test

[navsup]

I have a 1984 chevy 1/2 ton truck with a 350 built to 1970 peak performance year specs, edlebrock intake and carb, no catalytic converter, in other words there is no way this thing will pass any emissions test. Here in oklahoma we dont have car inspections etc...

My question is, Does anybody know which states have really tough emissions test? How would I go about leaving my truck tagged and registered in Oklahoma? Would that exclude me from having to pass the test in other states?

thanks for the input

Being in the military, you can leave the vehicle registered in your home state no matter where you are. I changed my residence to Florida and now that Im in Corpus its still registered in Florida and is going to stay that way.

Or you could do the o-zone a favour and get rid of the bastard!

Even in Australia that would have a tough time getting through!

Certain counties in Florida, including Escambia (where Pcola is), don't do emissions standards.

I thought the case was that if your car was built in `84 then you only have to go by the emissions standards that were set in 1984...a grandfather clause type of thing...

I've got a `78 f-250 w/ a 351 that has straight pipe from the exhaust manifold on back...there's a glass packed muffler on it, but it does everything but muffle...and emissions wasn't even a question when i got it registered

Just about every state has a different rule. I used to have Ohio tags, and only certain counties required the E-check. As long as you registered in a county w/o E-check, you were fine. Now I've got New York plates, and they don't require any safety or emmisions check as long as the vehicle is out of the state. That being said, I'm currently stationed in San Diego, and even though I kept the NYS plates, The military requires the vehicle to pass the California E-check to get a base sticker. In this case, the state of California doesn't care, but the military still requires that I meet the local standard. Luckily, both our vehicles, which happen to be relatively new, passed.
