				Getting the car on the road
			 
			
			So, this 91 NA i purchased is becoming my DD so my dad can get his truck back. I am picking it up this weekend but I know of a few of the issues It needs worked out. The most prevelant of which is it needs to pass emissions. The smog pump was removed at one point. I have one lined up and will be doing a full tune up as well (plugs, wires, oil change, few tanks of nice fresh gas). What else should i do or need to do in order to pass the sniffer? I would love to get the car on the road, but will not even attempt to get it on the road till i am confident on its passkng and running well.

			wtf...  i thought i remember hearing around running your tank down to hear empty and putting a few bottles of HEAT before you go get tested. i could be wrong though... it also could be something else... HEAT was the first thing that came to mind when i was trying to remember.

			Now the heat he is referring to is not that burning feeling in your crotch that you usually get after a night out on the town. Ok?

			A properly running FC with all emissions components should have no problems passing emissions.  At the very least, you're going to need an air pump and a catalytic converter.  You may need more depending on what the previous owner may have removed.  It will just be a matter of what all you have to rework/replace in order to pass emissions testing.
