Re: How do I lower my HC (ppm)?

["Jerry Whitteridge" <jrwhitt@domain.elided>]

Tom,
 Waynes Smog in Oakley on Hiway 4 will automatically do a pre test,
$34.00 covers the initial visit and any retest within 10 days, and the
tweaking is done automatically.
 (Guess who passed today !)

I want  to brag but I don't know if these figures are anything to be
proud of, or if there are indications in the numbers that point to
something I should be looking at. Any of th guru's out there ? (This is
for a 49 State 79 Scout II with 345 being smogged in CA).
