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.
