Also do a compression test and make certain that you haven't got a bad valve. My '78 failed one time because of a burnt exhaust valve, although the car was running well.
I think it's ridiculous that my 31 year-old '75 has to go through emissions. You can import a car from Europe that is over 25 years old, without having to meet any Federal emissions standards, but if it's a '75, it would have to pass in the Portland Metro area.
OF course, one of the major causes of the pollution problems in Portland is all those cars that have come from the west side, through downtown and are sitting on I-5 northbound, trying to get across the river to Vancouver. We need a west-side I-205 crossing to pull those cars out of downtown every afternoon.
