For what it's worth, I just had my 90 Vanagon with 61k miles smog-tested in
Houston, TX:
             2600 rpm   idle   permitted
HC    (ppm): 25         27     220
C0      (%): 0.18       0.009  1.2
CO2     (%): 15.1       14.4   none
O2      (%): 21.3       21.2   none
Dilution(%): 15.3       14.5   >6.0

What units are they using in New York?
Cheers,
