I wonder if any of the inspection stations in states where emissions are
measured actually look at those things? NH doesn't check for emissions which
makes life easy but I imagine it might be a tad more difficult to pass
inpsection with my tq as not much under the hood matches ANY of the factory
diagrams ;-)

I hear you. I've had my tq up on stands for almost a YEAR now as I slowly
get around to this, that, and the other thing on the car. Congratulations,
Ben on a job well done.
