[Checker-l] Emissions Testing (was Replacement carburetor)

[Pam Cook-Stevens]

I see your emails pertaining to different makes of Checkers.  I have a 72
Checker Marathon and am just starting to re-do everything to get it so I can
drive it
here and there.  I had a mechanic tell me we need to have the  gas tank
re-surfaced because it has rust in it which causes the filter to stop out
when you
drive it.  Besides sending it to Joe, couldn't a welder re-surface it? Money
is the issue here.  I don't know if it would be cheaper or not, but I know a
welder that may be willing instead of mailing it  north. This is my personal
mission and there really is not money in the budget for things like this.
Help,  Feed back, PLEASE!

  Ahh, but not in Arizona - that sort of policy would make sense.  Here, we
still test vehicles from model year 1967 forward, so in a matter of a year
or so, we will be emissions testing 40-year-old vehicles.

  There are very few people driving 40-year-old vehicles for daily
transportation, even in this poor state, but never forget the the first rule
of government is "Get The Revenue."  :-(

    <snip> In some states
    here, cars over 20 or 25 years old are also exempt from smog
    tests.
