I may call Stephans if I am seriously considering it. Thanks for the info.
More than 10 years ago I tried it on my BMW 2002, 1970 model. Almost
every garage I went to get work done gave me some info about how to
deal with smog/DMV. Well, at the end I ended up donating it to charity
and got a tax write off. Tried to get smog test half a dozen times and
unsuccessful. Os course I did not do it right because I did not get accurate
information about how to do it right.
Frankly that experience has kept me away from thinking about another
attempt to get a coversion. Have looked up DMV web site with no success
to find any useful information whatsoever.
