Multipoint Fuel Injection, who has it?

[Larry Davick]

Emery said "It may be an honest question but its a dishonest solution.
If caught doing it in California there are some massive fines involved."

And isn't it silly that the law that is in place to ostensibly protect the environment really doesn't? It does force the poor to junk their cars, or drive them illegally without registration. The better heeled simply go through shenanigans to improve performance, and in most cases, reduce pollution. This is an issue with vehicles produced from 1976 - today. Not a lot of collectables there yet, but wait a few years... What nonsense.

If it were permissible to modify our automobiles, so long as the emissions do not increase, by tail-pipe test (and I suppose evaporative inspection), then everyone wins! Alas, common sense is only permitted outside our capital domes.

Johnny, I believe that the only engine that was a V8 that was equipped with
the Bosch CIS Mechanical fuel injection was a Rover car. The engine is a
derivitave of the OLDS/Buick 215 cu in Aluminum Block. Unfortunately, Lucas
got involved with the rover when the time to fit the emission controls for
import to the USA came about. You really really, don't want to go there.
There were several in line 6 cylinder cars, the Volvo and Poojoe and I
believe one BMW inline six. Rest were all 4 cylinders. I thought about
taking two 4 cylinder CIS setups & trying to make them work on a V8 but it
made my brain hurt when I asked myself why. When a CIS system is properly
set up, they really work well. SAAB and VW and Jetta all used it for years.
Really high pressure in the fuel supply, seems like 5 Bar or more. Needs
really good fuel lines.

The only real solution is political.

Change the politicians, then you will be able to do the 'smart' modifications to your GMC. (GMC content)

I believe the laws are written specifically to make old car obsolete so they have to replaced with new cars. Follow the money on who supports the politicians who made the laws... I bet you'll find new car dealers or manufacturers in there somewhere.

Currently, if you pay the state enough money to get your parts certified, you can use them during the emissions test. Granted the amount required only makes sense for a manufacturer on a part to sell with a large market. This a source of money for the state.... that needs money.
