IL state test

My 1968 VW bug is suppose to go through a state test...I bought it out
in California. Any advice as to what I should adjust to ensure that it
passes the test?????


Thanks!

Do you have an "implement of husbandry"?

Exempt Vehicles

The following vehicles are exempt from vehicle emissions inspections:

* motorcycles;
* vehicles of model year 1967 or before;
* farm vehicles and implements of husbandry;
* antique vehicles [(at least 25 years old) that qualify for
antique license plates from the Illinois Secretary of State. For more
information, contact the Illinois Secretary of State at (800) 252-8980.];

Looks like '68 cars get only a basic idle test that measures
exhaust gases. No treadmill test.

They may test the fuel filler cap for vapor leakage too.

Either that, or move to a part of Illinois that doesn't require it. . . .
It's only parts of 9 counties that need emissions inspection. There are 102
counties in Illinois.
