? for PA. Board Members
This one's for my PA. peeps. I just found out I might be getting relocated back home sometime this year so it's got me to thinking about my truck.
What would the inspection/emissions requirements be for a '68 registered in PA? Here in Texas, it's exempt from emissions and I was wondering if the same would apply in Keystone country... |

Re: ? for PA. Board Members
Its not too bad depending on who you go to if you know what I mean...
Really, Brakes and tires above 2/32, horn, lights, wipers and washers work, no excessive play in any suspension component, windsheild not cracked or broken and exhaust doesnt have holes in it.... outside of that your clean!

My truck was off the road for over 5 yrs. and when I put it in the shop it needed upper & lower ball joints, a radiator support was shot, and just the usual wiring issues due to faulty ground. Didn't have any problems with emissions. But..... it wasn't cheap. Cost me a grand after it was "passable".

You guys in Ohio got it good.... If I had an Ohio Address my Nova would have a blower out of the hood higher than the roof!! Luckly I employee 10 inspection Techs so the pro street aspect is not an issue....

Re: ? for PA. Board Members
originally from PA. (pennstate area) and from what ive been told it went from 15$ to 60$ and its a VISUAL EMISSIONS inspection. good thing i dont live there anymore. i really have no problem with the yearly inspection cause thats just making it a bit safer on the roads knowing the guy beside me had good brakes,tires,etc.. they dont have the inspection here in phoenix but they do have emiissions here. not a big deal cause ive seen way more than enough blown vehicles running around. my bb 71 passed easy and it wasnt tuned worth a crap.
PA. wants to be more like cali. every year. i dont miss that place all that much (other than family, carlisle, maplegrove there aint much there) Last edited by QKENUF4U; 02-22-2008 at 07:25 PM. |

Re: ? for PA. Board Members
In PA, emission testing is by county, I believe. Here in Adams County (Gettysburg area), no emissions testing. WOO HOO!!!
