Subject:86 Syncro smog
From:Andy
Date:Mon, 8 Apr 2002 17:02:21 -0700

I am(thinking of) buying an 86 Syncro that looks really good(on the outside)but the owner says it isn't smogged-and won't pass.
Apart from that major issue it runs well.He lives in an 'enhanced' area where they run them on a treadmill at the testing stations.I live in a 'basic' area where they don't.Does anyone think this will make a difference?
He also said you could get it to pass,but it won't run so well.
The engine looks good-no leaks,and all the plumbing looks to be there.
What do you think?
