Default inspection help please!

Hi, ive just recently purchased an 89 mustang (with a 306 from a 93 cobra). Ive got to get some catylitic converters installed and also a smog pump. My question is will the smog pump from a 302 fit on a 306? Also, what else is needed besides the actual pump?

well you need the smog pump, bracket, tube that goes to the exhaust, thermactor tube, vac lines new belt. i think thats all..

and a 306 is just a 302 that has had the piston bores bored .030 over during a rebuild

and are you sure its not just the stock 302 on there with a cobra intake and the guy just BS'd the crap out of you?

+1 gt-40 intakes are dime a dozen.

I'm guessing you have an aftermarket midpipe? Even with a catco H-pipe with two high flow cats I got far better emissions results than most new cars.

Now I run an off road X-pipe.. considering reverting to the H-pipe.

Get a pic of the engine bay. Take one of the #5 spark plug area (driver side, front plug)

How will that help? Fox smog systems are on the back of the cylinder heads and the passenger side of the engine.

Since your in NC this is what I did before I got my license. I found a hole in the wall shop with a lot of mexicans and they passed my car. They didnt know what to look for. Hahaha.

You have to have a license to inspect a vehicle. In order to get it you have to go through a short class and take a test. I'm sure they knew what to look for.
