hi all, so im running a link stand alone on my car and im concerned with not passing emissions now that i live in oregon and have to get my car registered out here. while i was living in washington, i basicly had the car registered at a buddys house that is exempt from emissions so i was able to dodge the test.
any info on this would help alot, thank you.

Re: stand alone, passing emissions
since your obd1 they're just gonna do a sniffer test so i wouldn't worry bout it too much if your engine is running in good condition. most soobs will pass the sniff here in wa even without cats

Re: stand alone, passing emissions
Not allowed to drive in WA?!
FWIW, my '94 22T-swapped L wagon passed emissions w/o a cat. You should have no problem with a good tune.

Re: stand alone, passing emissions
Yeah check and see if you pass without a cat....sounds like others have. If not, you may need to put a cat on, or just tweak the tune slightly before you go into test.
As for tuning on a dyno, I know of a shop in Santa Rosa, CA Fine Line Imports, but that may be too far out of the way. You may want to give them a call or shoot them an email and see if they can recommend someone in your area.
Miles @ Fine Line is the one who tuned my car on their dyno and has been extremely helpful and worked with me in tuning my car over email prior to that.
