my car is a '78 and it runs pretty darn good, and it only has 76k on the 
odometor..  mebbe it runs good because it was bought from a 82 year old man 
who took fairly good care of it
i passed the smog test here in CA in '95 and i'll do it again, but i'll 
probably overdrive (put a smaller pulley on) the smog pump
