A 76 and newer has to be smogged in California. 75 and earlier are exempt.

so they went back on it eh? I must have read some old news. Anyhow, i think i can get the inline six running so there's no need for a swapout. Just needs a charged battery, some new fusable links and a tune up.

Checked the car this weekend and it turned on!!!

Diagnosis:

3 Red Fusable links, 1 brown. 1 red & brown loose.

Battery charge was low before

Still sputters alot, timing needs to be checked
