Tricks that work to help pass emissions:
1. Catalytic converter is number one, something like a factor of 60%
improvement.
2. Change oil and filter 10%
3. PC valve 15%
4. Make sure catalytic is nice and hot put some good miles on it before
testing.
5. Spark plugs and cap should be in good clean condition.
6. Clean air filter.

Good luck
Andy
