Caught up in the Rats Nest Removal

A few years ago I removed the rats nest and things were going great. However, in my county we have emissions. I know what you're thinking, your car in a 1980, its beyond the 25 year mark. Makes no difference, once your car is black listed (checked and entered as not having air pump, cataylitic & EGR systems, and modules connected), any inspector looking to keep his job will not give you a sticker. This is because of the 1968 agreement the manufacturers signed with congress that all cars from then on, must have their original equipment.

For you daily drivers I heed caution on doing this. Others can get away with it using Antique plates, like I do now.
