    This crap is infuriating. The guy at the desk looked at the reference guide (appendix G) like it was some ****** doc that I printed up from some know it all.

    Finally Done!!!!!!! Passed inspection with the ref today. Got my money back from the first shop. They weren't happy. They still said they were within their right to fail. Sticking to "It is law that the part number must be visible". They flashed the "CALIFORNIA AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR LAWS AND...

    Totally makes sense. I knew it would have been a problem if they pulled it. I'll get a matched set tomorrow at the salvage yard. I stopped by after the appt. to scope it out. They had a lot of good stuff. Should save me a crapload over LMC. 5 Burbs, 10 or trucks and 3 blazers.

    Smog issues in CA. Edlebrock TBI intake

I had planned to fix this prior to the appt. My dipstick is mismatched to the tube. It never shows any oil. He couldn't proceed with the test...

    Jim, Thanks for the info. I managed to stop by another shop with all of my paperwork (Product flier, inspection, etc) He told me I should have a sticker that tells the tech the parts are smog legal. These people are all asshats. Nobody understands what a replacement part is. And that it doesn't...

    Smog issues in CA. Edlebrock TBI intake

    Ok. I have an 89 Blazer 350 TBI. I just failed the visual, yet passed the sniffer. The part in question is the Edlebrock performer TBI intake (3704). The tech failed it because he couldn't see a part number to verify the actual part. I spoke the Edlebrock tech line. They sent me the papers that...

    Hello everyone, picked up a 1989 Blazer last month. Had a blown motor so it was a bit of a gamble on the rest of it. Now its running and I am sorting all the little stuff out. I had a 86 3/4 ton long bed a few years ago. Had to sell due to having kids. Always wanted another square body. Pics here
