I think this will clear up some of the clouded information.

Emissions testing started forty years ago. It was a visual inspection
then. By 1970 the tailpipe sniffers were in use. The first company
busted in California for emissions was a bus operator who unhooked the
rack delay dashpots from their 8V71 Detroits.

Hi Jim,
Before the biennial inspections, Kalifornia required passing a smog
inspection (gasoline only) upon vehicle transfers since '64. And I had
the "B" installer's license in that year.

It's well established you could really care less about emissions
except as a way to make people spend money with your business or keep
them (in your imagination) from driving up diesel fuel prices which you
have a God-ordained right to at cheap rates. They should make the truck
companies develop alternate fuel trucks at their own expense if they
want to do business in California, just like they should have made GM
SELL the EV1 cars. California is such a profitable market they really
can ram it up the corporation's and they will comply. Corporate
profits are at an all time high now and they should be trimmed just a
little.
