I was a victim too I feel you... I did all the funny stuff to make it pass too like alcohol in the tank and other car voodoo. They flunked me because the carb preheater hose that lets the carb suck hot air off the exhaust wasn't there and the distributor was getting vacuum at both advance ports so it was over spec. Luckly the guy at the shop was cool, he said they aren't supposed to give help/suggestions due to liabilities (and less income$$ :deal: )
He told me lowering the timing would reduce the HCs or NOx (I don't remember) and that I could buy generic replacement hose to pass the visual. I remember they hooked up my gascap to that stupid machine too. He also said my muffler had holes and that would affect the test results

So i went to auto parts, got that preheater hose, an air filter, cap, rotor
Went home, put a beebee in the cold ignition advance tube, ordered a Pacesetter high flow catalytic and catback exhaust. After hooked up my new goodies, I went to walgreens, bought the least diluted isoprophyl alcohol (supposedly lowers combustion temps) and filled the tank with that bottle and 91 octane<-- (W T F is that all about California?).

Pass!!!!
I then proceded to remove every gadget and hose I could find in that engine. I now chiill in Miami where I don't fear smog, I fear other drivers

Cali. smog tests suck a$$. I still can't pass mine because of my cam and other mods, so I'm gonna take a visit to a "FRIEND" of my dad to pass me. I'll cost a bit more, but it WILL pass no matter what.

you can pass smog with a mild cam. it's just that your engine and converter all have to be in pretty good condition.
