Hmm, I don't have any help for you there. The only 'smog' check we have here
in Maine is a visual inspection that there is a catalytic converter.

I chose to drill out a spot in the IM and screwed the sensor right into the
IM (very easy to do, the sensor is a standard pipe thread).

To see it mounted, not a very good pic, but you'll get the idea...

You don't need to machine the manifold at all. You replace the original CIS
inserts in the head with the EFI variant, then the injectors reside soley in
the head. You do need to drill out the hole in the fuel rail, but that is
very straight forward to do, an I just tapped the ends of the rail with a
1/4" NPT tap, and used some 1/4"NPT->-06AN adaptors.

Exactly.

The flywheel really has nothing to do with it (for my application anyway)
there are no sensors picking up any signals off of it. If you do use a MC
computer for timing, then yes, you will have to setup the 5 timing pins and
a sensor to watch them wiz by. I don't think I would really want to go
through the hassle of installing the entire MAC-11 just for the timing. I
would hit up a junkyard and find a NA 5 banger with knock sensing and grab
what you need to get a much simpler ign in your 4k(t;)q.

Like I said, if you keep the 4kq, or other NA ign. system then you will not
need any sensors on the flywheel at all, so therefore there is no
restriction/requirements. With the MC ign. you will have to use one of the
MC-era flywheels, or install the pins in whatever flywheel you use.

HTH!
