Well, I thought that I had made a deal for my new 914. Was supposed to pick it up sometime this week.
I talked with the seller yesterday and he said that it did not pass an emissions test, so he is taking it to his mechanic to see if he can get it to pass. He also tells me that he may be having second thoughts about selling the car and if his mechanic cannot get it to pass, he may (probably) choose not to sell it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) |

Yea, the 74 and 75 cars have rolled off the books here in CA... gotta love that.
Not sure what the rules were in 75 for Colorado, but in CA you required a CAT+ EGR on the 75 914 and they looked for both on the visual. Aftermaket CAT was $100 if you can weld on yourself. On a 75, for the EGR I plumbed in fittings at the engine compartment wall and at the pipe and used a short flexible metal hose (that is normally used to connect a gas dryer to the gas line), for the EGR pipe. The hose section came off after passing smog. I capped off the fittings on either end, but the bung on the exauste pipe is fit for an O2 sensor if I ever want to install one later. - Dave |
