Emissions Test Success
I've seen a few recent posts of other ZR's enduring the pain of emmissions testing.
Where I live - older cars have to run the emmisssions gauntlet yearly. I was a little concerned how this would go - given that my 67 usually gets through by the skin of its teeth. I have a one year grace period with the ZR-1 since I recently purchased the car. I have recently replaced the injectors (Multec look alike disc types from FIC) replaced the plugs (NGK Iridium) and loaded the stock GM PROM. Thought I better give it a try while I still have plenty of time to fix any problems. Made it through with flying clours - my readings were as follows: Driving Test: Hydrocarbon ppm - 7.0 (88 allowed) Carbon Monoxide % - .02 (.66 allowed) NOx ppm - 5.00 (979 alowed) Idle: Hydrocarbon ppm - 8 (75 allowed) Carbon Monoxide % - 0 (.42 allowed) Well tuned - these cars can actually run pretty clean.

Re: Emissions Test Success
The 67 has much higher limits. But I generally have to play with the idle adjustment and timing to squeak through, then readjust everything again so it runs decent.
I now have it plated as a collector car - so I will be exempt in the future.
