Any tips for helping my 88tii pass smog?

It passed smog last February, but I gotta do it again. The gas tank is half full right now, havent done an oil change for almost 3 months, just flushed the radiator fluid, and thats about it.


Any suggestions to give me that extra edge for passing?

You should cap off the 02 sensor so you fail the visual test

well i hope to find places for no-visual, and its possible

see my dilema is this
either i go to a test-only pass-or-retest place, but i have to make EVERYTHING back to stock spec, even ACV (and well i used RTV on my plate and also it seems the ACV/plate was causing alot of vac probelms, so i don't want to touch it)

OR i go to a place where they do test-only which that guy does not care about visuals but don't have pass-or-retest so i will waste the test money if i fail AGAIN

Have your buddy follow you to smog station, a reputable one, tell them you have to go to... answer your cell phone, say "oh my god, where? I'll be right there. Give them your cell phone number, a hundred dollar bill, and tell them to just park the car when its done. Your wife went into labor and you will get back as soon as possible. If its more, you will pay when you get back.

PEACE THE DOG
