alright i recently bought a truck a 1986 GMC K10 that has been a southern truck all its life, in South Carolina, where they don't smog test. this truck has a newer carbureted 350 engine in it, crate engine. but appears to have the original quadrajet. but also the truck has no cats and long tube headers but new stainless steel mufflers. ( pretty quiet) i know there's certain standards they set for older carb'ed vehicles, but I'm not sure whether i should take this thing through inspection when i register it right away AS IS and see if they catch it with the tailpipe test or not. is there a guarantee that I'll probably read way too high?any good trusty inspection places better than the free ones in the NW NJ area? also i have no idea what else is done to the engine though, but it defintately has an aftermarket cam..
