Emissions problem

So I went to echeck today I can get some plates on this thing and...I failed because the guy said there were no emissions.

I dont know much about these damn things, maybe a vacum line or two is not present..butI dugh to diagnose that issue.

- I just got the exhaust done, catand back and while I was under there I inspected everything else and it all looked okay...thinking the problem is under the hood.

I have a 87 305 tbi and was wondering if anyone had any pics available so I can compare hoses or lack there of...thank you

Re: Emissions problem

Problem solved...The moron who tested it refused to test because the exhaust comes out in front of the back tire because its a "hazard to the tester". I asked to talk to a supervisor and he disciplined the worker and my truck passed. I guess the worker is known to do this to most vehicles with exhaust setups like mine....my only question is why is the idiot still employed there?
