RE: 8v emissions

["Chris DeLong" <green536@hotmail.com>]

Larry, if I wasnt out of state I would look it up for you and explain it. 
Unfortunately I not near my home and I just woke up. If it comes to me 
during the day I will let you know ;-) Now if you dont beleive me then go 
get a 2 gas analyzer or go to your local shop; stick the sniffer in the 
tailpipe; pull a vacuum line off and watch those HC's climb.
