We have emission testing in this province, even for vintage vehicles. When I took my Dodge M152 (flathead Chrysler 6 cylinder) through the first time it failed. I didn't really expect it to pass but I wanted a baseline. After a valve cleaning and new head gasket it passed with about 30% of the maximum allowable emissions.

The idle test results were 314 out of 972 ppm for hydrocarbons and 2.26% for CO with a maximum allowed of 4.90%. NOx was never measured.

Default thanks guys.

Hi, Thanks Guys for the replies, here In the UK, I understand there is an upper limit of 4.5% CO for this vintage of vehicle, however as a track laying vehicle and because of its age there is no requirement to pass an MOT. I will tweek those mixture screws in a little and aim for about 4.0% CO in air keeping it 'on song'.

Many thanks Kevin.
