They've been testing gas caps for YEARS. This is what we get for letting the tree huggers take over. I think it would have been fair for them to allow modifications again once they started using these dyno-based tests. There are lobbying groups for this type of thing and I'd certainly like to see that happen. My dad's been an inspector since the emissions tests were created and even he thinks these new tests are a little over the top. Anyone else know about or belong to the lobbying groups? --Rob Hook. P.S. Tip: For DeLorean owners who get their gas cap tested, the DeLorean cap is different than most other caps. The inspector may use the wrong adapter and fail your car. Make him try all the other adapters before you let him fail you. I ended up buying a new cap for no reason because of this. ----- Original Message ----- From: <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, November 10, 2000 6:08 PM Subject: [DML] Re: Catalytic converters > In New Jersey they are getting very crazy.

I removed the lower cable where it meets the angle drive and spun it with my hand and the speedometer showed movement so I know there must be something wrong with the drive. I removed the wheel and found that the long square rod that connects the plastic cup to the drive gear was missing. I also removed the angle drive and it spins freely and looks to be in good shape. Does this mean that my angle drive is unrepairable or can I just install a new rod? I dont see it in the parts manual. Does anyone have a spare rod they would sell? Thanks!

Overall, it is less expensive this way than standard plates... and no emissions testing.
