I have a 1976 99 EMS that I need to register in California. It's a 49 states version (meets Fed smog standards) yet for 4 months now and 9 pre checks it just won't pass the change of ownership California smog check. The problem is the hydrocarbons that register to high ( at about 560 when they should be at 200 or below).
Has anybody had a similar problem and does anybody have a possible cause and solution (other than moving out of state , although I'm seriously considering that as I don't want to give up both my 76 EMS's)?
What mechanically could be causing this ? The engine is recently rebuilt with about 15,000 miles on it.
Believe me, we have tried almost everything, but must be overlooking something.
