Emissions



On Saturday we took the car to the emissions testing place to see if we would pass since the Chevelle has been running really good lately.

Here are the results for our previousEmissions Test on 4-01-05:

Hydrocarbons-
Loaded reading: 269 - passing is 450: Pass
Idle reading: 608 - passing is 450: FAIL

Carbon Monoxide
Loaded reading: 6.72 -passing is 3.75: FAIL
Idle reading: 11.41 - passing is 5.0: FAIL
Saturday's Results:
Hydrocarbons-
Loaded reading: 240 - passing is 450: Pass
Idle reading: 228 - passing is 450: Pass

Carbon Monoxide
Loaded reading: 2.64-passing is 3.75: Pass
Idle reading: .19- passing is 5.0: Pass

WE PASSED!!!!!!! I was so nervous when we took it in! I cant believe how much lower our results were from our last test.

Our next project will be to replace the brake shoes since we are hearing some squeaks and feeling some vibrations that arent normal. I LOVE the chevelle!! haha.
The car is still running very smooth and sounds great.
