Start your search at www.smogcheck.ca.gov  It's all in there somewhere, but
CA emissions regulations are a labyrinth of confusion.  I usually ask the
technician at the local smog check station to show me the current book
containing the emissions numbers for my cars.  I have never been refused the
information.

Does anyone know where can I find the specs for exact emissions standards I
have to meet here in California with my 1983 watercooled bus? I used a
number
of search engines  on the net, but could not find a breakdown of what year
vehicle has to meet what standards. My NY state inspection lists the
breakdown of  my bus as HC at 110 and CO at .45 -- The max in NY state in my
area was HC 300  CO 3.00. So I'm wondering if I can compaire this data with
the standards in CA and decide if I will have a problem passing. Or will it
be apples and oranges?
