My car passed the test!!! - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

My 1990 LT5 just took its last emissions test.
In CT, we have to get tested every 2 years until the car is 25 years old, so this was it.

Great results:
Carbon Monoxide measured only 0.04% against a 0.28% limit.
Nitrogen Oxides measured only 2 ppm against a 614 ppm limit.
Hydrocarbons were 42 ppm against a 53 ppm limit.

I did have to wait a long time for the test results though.
The guy who emission tests all the cars has to drive them in from the parking lot onto the test stand.
Then there are several trips in and out of the car for setup.
I found out the guy doing this was 74 years old and had to give up after driving the car in.
He said he could not get in and out of the car at his age. Had to wait for one of the younger kids to free up from the garage to come over and complete the test!
