Miles of crazy vacuum plumbing, crude engine computer controlling ignition timing and mixture on a feedback carb, these cars were hard pressed to meet the standards they were designed for back in the day. 25+ years later, forget about it! When NJ instituted their dyno-based emission tests years ago it was a nightmare getting our Eagle wagon through. Most of the time I wound up cheating by dumping a gallon of denatured alcohol into a near-empty gas tank.
Fortunately the dyno tests were given up due to expense and the fact that there are relatively few pre-OBD-II cars left on the road at this point. Now they just bring engine RPM up to 2500 RPM and sniff the tailpipe, much easier to pass.
As bad as NJ is in many respects, California's crazy smog rules figure large in my lack of interest in ever moving to that state.
