I used to have a '76 Trans-Am with the 455ci engine. The engine was just covered in vacuum hoses, all of which were rotting out. I tried replacing them all, the hose diagram in the shop manual was vague as to where they all went.
 
When I took it for emissions they decided to do an underhood inspection. I was pretty nervous I wouldn't pass. An older lady walks up, I pop the hood, I look and she had the same crappy diagram as me. She peered at the mess for about 20 seconds, kind of shook her head and said, "looks good to me" and I was on my way.

Emissions in Colorado by michaell

While we have testing stations in the metro Denver area, the state has also introduced a nifty way to test cars.
 
On highway on-ramps, there is a truck with a sensor that "sniffs" the exhaust of cars that pass by. Along with a camera, it records the information and, when your renewal notice comes in the mail, you're told if you have passed or not - if not, then you'll need to go to a testing station. The cost of the drive by emissions test is added to your registration amount.
 
At the stations, they do put the cars on rollers.

that BMW is strange....I think he means 728i, did they even build a 720i (four-cylinder?).

Yeah, must be a 728, they didn't make a 720, even for Europe, as far as I know.

Not sure what's rare about the 80's Toyota pickup. (SR-5? V6?). You can't swing a cat around here without hitting half a dozen of the things. (small town Oregon).

we are equally infested here in California. A favorite of gardeners just starting up their business. They do seem to keep on going, I will say that, even if the bench seating can break your back. I guess they sport the sturdy 22R engine. I took one of those engines apart some years back and was quite amazed at the quality and machining of the internal parts.

Our mechanics 11 class in high school had an endless supply of old Toyota motors (not sure of it was 22R) for students to learn on. I guess the cars they were from rusted out before the engines reached the end of their life.
