Default There have been some emissions testing on Antique Cars

Hi All

I do remember that there has been some recent emissions testing done on antique cars in the US with in the last few years which included a Ford Model A and I think some Ford V8s. I'll do some searching and see if I can find the test results.

As to fuel air testing I know that there was equipment back in the early 50s because my father had a test unit which he used to tune up high performance big block Lincoln flat head V8s. Family had a 49 Lincoln running a 337 bored to 350 flat head. Engine was rated at 150 HP by the time he finished playing it was producing 150 HP+ delivered to the ground at the rear wheels. So all the testing was for power not necessarily clean air.

Cheers Phil
