need help, my car has no emissions and has to pass inspection

I wsa thinking of getting these..

http://www.jcwhitney.com/autoparts/I...D:100000315643


and adding the airpump again. what else should I add? I got a '85 12A with no rats nest or emission equipment. I could purchase a ticket.. but i don't want to take the risk. I live in massachusetts and its got that 20 year old forget emission and go with safety thing, but i heard that the car has to pass emissions anyway. Anyone think that this setup will not work?

I don't want to run around and waste money. I need something that will work before next week, thanks for ya help.

i used to have a 12a with no emmisions or cats and a straight 3 in exhaust. all i did was buy 6 bottles of emmissions reducer/fuel cleaner and pour 2 in a full tank and un it till its empty. then i put like 5$ gas in and poured the other 4 bottles in and took it to the emmisions place and passed.

but in all seriousness, the guy that I bought the car from said that it never had anything other than the rats nest.. and thats gone. does that have anything to do with emissions? I am going to be inspecting the car soon. I don;t want any to go wrong. Anyone know if an '85 RX7 has to pass an emission test to pass inspection?

thanks, just the kind of info i needed to make a starveing toilet happy

I guess I will just have to get myself a airpump and some lines to work it into the cat, then go from there.
any thoughts about adding a high flow cat in place of the 2 smaller cats.. so that its got 2 big cats?

Let me get this straight.. airpump feeds air into converter only. If thats true then all I would need is something like..

http://www.jcwhitney.com/autoparts/P...splay/ss-10101

or something similar. One thats got some sort of inlet for the airpump hose?
once it passes I'll just take the airpump and cats off


I thought that in the post with the alcohol it said that the alcohol eats up your o-rings. I wouldn't want it to burst while the car is being tested.

I just got done carefully removing 3 cats and an air pump and the rest of the stuff from an '84 that had passed smog in Calif. before coming to SC/GA where it has not been tested for about 2 years (but driven very little since here). Will sell cheap.
