[BFix] SMOG Test

[NHieger at aol.com]

Thanks for the advise Tony, However in Ca they have to check a bunch of  
stuff including that the base timing is in the money. If the timing is off at  all 
you fail and are sent off to get it fixed. I don't understand the thinking  
behind SMOG only test sites myself? but they aren't even supposed to give you  
any information or help other than the test results. A few years ago my 90 
F150  failed only because the timing was off about 2 deg. I had to take it home 
reset  the timing and retest and of course repay as well.

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...
