Explain more. What is Marta and high HC. Are you talking about the canister with the vacuum and gas tank vent hoses.

 

[Roger Carpenter]

emission testing in tn. yes the evap canister that stores hydro carbons and meters them back into the carb !

If its in good running condition it just might. I know that things differ from state to state. Sometimes it depends on who is doing the inspection. Ask a mechanic you can trust and see what he says. Good luck with it.

Without the evap canister, I passed Ohio emissions tests quite a few years in a row. Had to do some tuning to pass one of those years though, other than that I didn't have any problems. That was on a 79 cj7, 304 and quite some years ago.

Roger what have you found out about the evap and your emissions test.

my problem was an unported vacuum line was tee'd into a ported line .. that also runs my vac advance .. capped that port and it passed emissions just fine .
