Well the unfortunate part is I put the methyl hydrate in but put $20 of regular gas and now it's sitting at 3/4...........maybe I have too much gas..........all I know is I got behind the Stang and she didn't smell one bit like exhaust........... 
Smelled clean.........after a GOOD ride of course.......I am anxious to see the results tomorrow..........

Also what T stat does the car have in it? No one went to a 160* or something did they? Put a stock temp T stat in for E test. The timing as mentioned is a important thing.
I had to do some little tweaks get Stock86GTs car to pass because it's got a bunch of miles [300000 + klicks] and I think the valve seals have had it... even his car squeaked by though.
I opened the pug gap a tad, 8* timing, hooked up my MSD, THICKER [15W40 I think - i forget now] than stock non synth oil, and the tester allowed me to sit in the car as it was getting tested & with the elcetric fan on a switch I kept the car around 210*. :biggrin: We all thought it was going to fail because the test went on.. and on... and on... and on... and on... and then stopped.. and the guy said "oh f**K look at that it fooled us all :laughhard " and started laughing.
My first feeling was "whew..".

87 octane and stock timing are what you need...and then ditch it all, put it back into race mode and smog up the atmosphere

Good News! She passed......
Hey boys.........
Well finally she passed with flying colours.........I guess a tune-up and a shot of Methyl Hydrate was the key............along with regular gas.............My CO reading was actually at zero for both the idle test and the 40km/h test.................
Now to seal the deal!
Thanks y all!
