My "saved from death" 82T I restored failed the first smog test badly. Problem was an overly rich fuel air mix. The previous owner basically tried to kill it with no maintenance whatsoever. To keep it running with everything fouled up (he hadn't changed the air filter in years), he or a mechanic basically turned the fuel mix way up. So I set the mix properly, changed the oil, timed it correctly and it passed. I did notice that the technician knew to run the engine up to a hot operating temperature before re-testing.
Before retesting, you might want to change the air filter, have only premium gas in the tank, as well as add an octane booster formula to your gas tank.
