Troy,
Are you in Anchorage?? If so, did you run into any emissions testing
problems there.I always lived elsewhere and never had to deal with the
smog check issues with the authorities there. So I am curious, just in
case I get a wild hair and go back there - with a Subie engine installed
in my 88 GL.
Thanks,
John Rodgers
