gotta do my TII again soon. it's a pain swapping the exhaust around every year but it is nice pulling up to the station with the big single and about a dozen wires to and from the engine and being legal.

Last three times I've gone in for smog, even though I still have the factory diagram decal inside the hood, I've had to help the tech:

1) locate the carbon canister (inside the air cleaner cover)
2) locate the tank vent line (I even colored it differently to help)
3) understand why the timing clamp has to go on the BOTTOM plug wire (since on an '80, the trailing ignition is suppressed during acceleration - - no signal for the dyno until at speed!)

I think next time I'm going to print up an instruction sheet. Or I better get a discount.

Couple good things about the place I went; they let me warm up the car immediately before the test, and the older guy who did the actual test was enthusiastic about wanting to see "this beautiful rotary" pass; he said very few do these days.
