I've got a '78 Jeep J-10. Some years back, when NC was still making all vehicles undergo the sniffer test, the guy at the shop looked at me and said, "She might smoke a little when you startt her up, but she's burning cleaner than a new car." Yep, 360 AMC engine, with a two barrel carb, and nothing emissions wise but the old 'smog pump' and the emissions were less than those from a car 20 plus years newer with 4 times the EPA mandated crap.
