Re: Fuel Injection
Only high smog areas use those, or all stations?
As for Riverside, have heard it has changed, but back in the
mid 70's you couldn't even see to drive for the smog hanging
along the back way thru Riverside down to San Diego.

Re: Fuel Injection
I had to take a class in Riverside, '69, and was there a couple
weeks before I could see it was in a valley.

Re: Fuel Injection
The improvement in mileage is questionable. I got better mileage with my
carb than with the Mopar kit. Also, make sure you get the latest fuel
computer - it seems to handle engine variations better. Mine used to die
several times on cold mornings, but since I replaced the computer with the
newer model, it's only died once in the last couple of months.

Re: Fuel Injection
I think it's all stations in Riverside County. When I bought my CJ, the only
stations near me that required the treadmill were in Hemet, now I have to
get on the 'mill in Temecula. I am pretty sure the entire county now must
put cars on the treadmill to do the Smog Test.
