[DML] Re: Failed CA Emissions UPDATE (still bad)

["Robert Patz" <topgunster@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Nathan,

   Check with the Ca emissions to see what engine they put in the 
computer. When I had my car tested in Indiana the computer did not 
list a six cylinder for the DeLorean.   They just told me, it's not 
a six cylinder today.   Passed with no problem, also passed in 
Arizona too.
