Full Emissions hotwire auto hemi wiring harness

Magnumdust, thanks for the link. I read some of it, but as with many articles on the web and even in magazines, there's misinformation and aspects that aren't fully explained for the individuals who really need the info.

It used to be '65 and down were totally exempt, period. Then an assemblyman got a bill passed that would exempt each model year upon their 20th birthday (or was it 30?). I was overjoyed when my '69 Cuda turned 20 (or 30?) years old. The next hurdle I was looking forward to would have been my '78 Lil Red Express having it's special birthday, but the bill got overturned, locking in the cutoff at around '74. I have since sold my Lil Red, so I'm a happy camper with my Cuda.

To clarify one thing though, you can do whatever you want with an exempt car. However, you can still perform a transplant on a car past the cutoff, but the engine has to be newer, not older. It would also have to go to a referee station for smog cert. and you'll have a lot of explaining to do there. :)

I must apologize for not remembering the years exactly for anyone who really needs the info. My memory is fading as I'm getting older, plus my car is exempt now, so I don't need to be concerned. I DO listen for changes though, but I haven't heard any in years.
