Not sure why he needs to get a BAR exception. In California, all gasoline vehicles 1975 and older are exempt from smog inspections. That's one of the main reasons I got my 72.

California doesn't have safety inspections, only smog.

It's an out of state truck with a cab swap. I'm in the final process of finishing and submitting my SB100 form. BAR station will backdate the engine to 1960 specs. All it needs is a PCV system.

Re: Accel/Summit HEI distributor advance curve

There isn't any here in CA either, if you purchase in-state. It hasn't been much of a hassle, just hard to get the DMV to understand what they're supposed to do. I had to show them regulations and talk with a manager, but overall I didn't find it difficult. It's much less of an inconvenience than getting my truck impounded for a VIN discrepancy. The cops in this area are pretty knowledgable.... maybe it has something to do with American Graffiti

I've lived in CA my whole life, and I'm usually very critical about how things are run here. The DMV is usually the poster child for govt bureaucracy and inefficiency, but it's good to hear that you're making headway. With an institution as big as the DMV, no single individual there can be expected to know how to handle everything. Cab swap from out of state is definitely an outlier case. Not surprising it would take some extra effort.

Best of luck wrapping that up. Hopefully you'll be hitt'n the road in that gas guzzling, gross polluter in no time!!
