Funny, was there even any smog equipment on many of the early say, 1964 cars?

[/ QUOTE ]
Yes there was DJ...at least as early as 61 because thats the earliest Cal car I have owned...a Pontiac with California emmissions...primitive but still there...same with Chevy....mostly consisted of closed crank case stuff...PCV valves instead of road draft tubes...

[DjD]

You're right, but there are big differences in a PCV valve and a smog pump and assoc. plumbing...

Besides all that, why do you care what others want to talk about or want to do with their cars?

That's real funny Dennis......that is what I thought when I saw your comment about the smog. Not every car has to be totally "correct." It seems that every time a car is posted here people look at it and start to list the things that are not factory correct. Some of us couldn't care less if it is correct or not. I for one just want to drive em and have a good time.

Every one is entitled to there opinion I guess....that goes for us both. Afterall this is a public forum. I will try to look at it that way more often. It's just that I have been here for a couple of years and some people may have noticed that it is a pet peeve of mine when cars are picked apart weather they are sold by dealers or not. I also have heard the argument about helping potential buyers so they don't get screwed. The flip side to that is that some people like to hide behind that just to show everybody how smart they are.

Here is another scenario. My friend and I were at a cruise night yesterday. My friend is relatively new to the show circuit with his car. He spotted a 70 Chevelle with a terrible paint job. He laughed and said how $hitty it looked. I was pissed and had to explain to him car show etiquette. It went something like keep your comments to your self. Or if you have nothing nice to say don't say it at all. I mean if that car were at a car show would you walk up to the owner and point out..."wheres the smog" or "The grill whatever piece is missing". I think not. Most of us hate "that guy" at a car show. Why can't those rules apply here?

Not trying to start WWIII with you. This is just a friendly discussion

"I can't wait to get that crap off of my Deuce. The only reason it's still on is because I promised Marlin when I blow his doors off it would be a fair fight. After SCR7 it is gettin deep sixed!" ... Do you really think it will be much faster without the smog pump ?

[DjD]

This site by nature is all about correct and numbers matching cars, would that explain why correctness comes up so often here? The topic starter asked [ QUOTE ]
OK guys need some more opinions

[/ QUOTE ] so I looked at the pictures he provided and voiced my opinion. But let's see, Frank thinks I was picking the car apart, showing off because I knew the smog pump was missing and my excuse for doing it was I wanted to help someone!! In a friendly discussion, would that about sum it up?
