[BFix] SMOG Test

[TonyNokes at Freightliner.com]

You, can cheat a little by retarding the timing a little and manually
opening the EGR valve.  Both of these will reduce the NOX levels.  If
you retard the timing too far the HC will go up however...  Do the
timing first as it is super easy, 5 degrees will probably do it...

Subject: [BFix] SMOG Test


To keep this political and on topic I just failed my CA government
mandated SMOG test this morning. 
 
I have to go to a SMOG "only" station and they are forbidden to do
anything but test the car. So I can't get much meaningful advise from
them.
 
I have a 90-93 Stang 5.0 SEFI AOD setup in my 77. I failed the NO (ppm)
test with 1078 (1015 max pass) @ 15mph and 1047 (875 max pass)@25mph.
Last time I had it tested 2 years ago I also failed the NO and installed
a new EGR and new Cat and passed.
 
How can I test the EGR system. to see if it is working correctly?
 
The cat I installed was a cheep catco from Summit, about $65. I have
heard since that the catco cats are really junk and will only get you
through one inspection. Anybody have any insight into this?
 
Thanks
Norm
