Had some issues WRT emission testing last Feb as my HC was 260 or so IIRC.

Passing is 220 in Illinois.   So. shocked as anyone could be, I stuck my
head in the sand for 6 mos. .but over the last week I installed new O2,
plugs, amsoil 20-50 and most importantly, a new pcv valve (which I think was
the main issue.)  With 1/4 tank of gas I also dumped in a can of heat.

With sweaty palms I went for der retest Saturday morning after a 30 minute
drive, most of which was at 4/5000 rpm.  Result was HC went to 98.  Nice,
since if I failed, I figured they would just drive it in into a ditch out
back and call it a day.

I am now cleared for the e85 experiment starting later this afternoon and,
more importantly; the pig is ready for annual sfest pilgrimage.
