What year?

I love reading these questions from the person that calls so many people in this group stupid.

the one im looking at is a 1990 gt...

Nope, i only call you stupid..And i always speak the truth...

thanks for the link Gill....

hehe

I make it a point to only buy vehicles that have recently passed emissions testing. I don't want to spend big bux to fix some one elses problems; especially emissions problems.

You will throw enough money at it to make it pass emissions...... You have, obviously, seen the car... we have not. Will it pass visual? No cats so I think there are regions it wont. After the cats are installed you can start to fix any remaining problems......

Honestly, this comes close to the "stupid" question..... you look at the requirements for your area - your area is yours and other areas can be diferent - Let us know your local requirements and what you have...

Passing emissions should be the seller's burden anyway.

Yeah, good point...

At least in this state it is the sellers responsibility to make sure the vehicle passes a smog test. A buyer who allows the seller to waive this requirement is making their own life difficult.

If it were me, and the vehicle has been modified so that it will not /may not pass the test but it still requires testing, I would walk away.

But thats just me. I want a car and not a science experiment. My days of swapping motors to pass smog tests once a year are long past.

Hi I have found that all 5.0's mustangs and Marks have only problems with the cats. If you replace these it will pass. Throw on some cats and you shoud be fine. Get set off plugs. Autolite are good, set of good wires. Possibly clean the EGR. They sometimes throw off the Clean air computer. You good even throw on a good used set of cats just for testing and then put back on the x pipe. Hope this helps you.
