Seems it would make too much sense to have more safer, greener and more efficient vehicles.
If they really cared about clean air and the environment. I’m just saying...
You really should vote them all out.
As babywag said, just a normal smog test. The whole point of having it be certified is that you don't have to jump through any hoops.TheFlamingHips wrote:Thanks for the info guys. It's really helpful. I found this Howell one that says it is Cal legal:

Would I still need to take this to a referee station to have it certified?

I've tried different carbs, messed with the timing, played with vacuum. I admit I'm a pretty good shade-tree mechanic, but I haven't been able to dial in the carb/distributor like some are able to, and I don't have any friends who do. It was a constant source of frustration.
Maybe it's Voodoo, I don't know.
I want to turn the key and drive, not dink around with adjustments every month.
I have to say that without a doubt that this is THE BEST modification I've done to my Jeep. It runs like a completely different vehicle now. Acceleration is phenomenal; it starts and purrs. I do not have accurate mileage gains to post, but I really don't care. I'm very happy with my decision.
There are custom tuners that will read your data logs and remote tune your beast for around 250.00 I'll try that later after I wipe the smile off of my face.
Hope this helps!
Unfortunately, no way a Holley Sniper system would be allowed in CA on a 90GWTheFlamingHips wrote: I'd need it to be California legal as I live in LA. Do all kits offer CA legal options?
no need to feel bad for us poor CA folksShagWagon wrote:Isn’t holley and fitech better than Howell nowadays?
Wouldn’t a government someone who so called cares about Air quality and is in charge of such things want a better running engine to pollute less and use less fuel?
I feel bad for you guys...
In my opinion no, not better but it would do the job.geminiroq wrote:Hmmmm....if someone could get a CARB referee to agree to the MSD Atomic....is this a better choice than the Howell?
You can get the Sniper to control the vapor canister purge and the vacuum to the EGR transducer -- but just on/off at a engine temp range. Not a sophisticated system (works pretty much like the OEM CTO switch), but it beats having the canister try and purge at startup. Just uses an off-the-shelf canister purge solenoid from mid-90s GM.babywag wrote:geminiroq wrote:Honestly the GM system is hard to beat.
From an emissions standpoint ability to control the vapor canister and egr(with mods) of Howell(GM) system
No aftermarket systems will do that.
