Smog time
Just took off my exhaust and borrowed my friend's complete stock exhaust. As well as the intake, carb, airbox, and airpump.
Going to try and pass smog today, pretty nervous.

lol.. I'm getting one from Harbor Freight Tomorrow. I'm a little confused on how to actually set it though. I looked at the FSM, but on the forum it said something about unplugging vacuum line to set the advance??
Do you guys think advancing my timing from 12 degrees to 20 will allow me to pass smog?
HC (PPM) CO(%) NO (PPM)
MAX Meas. MAX Meas. Max Meas.
15mph 141 181 .86 1.02 1161 352
25mph 116 203 .66 1.08 991 1.08
The smog guy said the NO numbers mean that my catalytic converter is in working condition. I also failed the visual for the TAC (Heat shield tube to airbox) and Fuel Evaporitive Controls (Another tube to the airbox)
Does this look passable by changing my timing?

unplugging the lines and the FSM procedure on the stock car have the same result; at ZERO throttle (there is a TPS) the vacuum advances are OFF. if you wanna be on the safe side you can disconnect em
also mazda's timing number is in degrees AFTER TDC, so going from 12 to 20, on the trailing i hope, is RETARDING.
BTW your smog guy is a tool for checking the timing, nobody does that anymore...

So how exactly am I supposed to set the timing? I put the inductive lead wire on the my trailing coil wire to the distributor and when I fire the red mark is perfectly lined up.
i was failing the first time and failed worse the second time. the timing adjustment I made raised my idle is that right?

if he didnt check where the timing was how on earth can he fail you for having it wrong?

he says the mark isn't clearly visible, i tried to argue but i still failed for emissions. i cleaned up the pulley so its clear-er. and i just put on another cat, bout to get re-test it
