Smog woes
I just moved to californa and am trying to bring my ramcharger in with me. That means Smog check *pauses for cheering* My truck runs fine but its missing the stock airbox (replaced with a mopar performance doohickey) so it didnt pass 
I headed to a local junkyard and pulled an airbox off an 88 ram van, but that dosent seem to fit, coolant hoses and alternator get in the way, if it were raised up a couple of inches it might work. I guess what I need is a reccomendation on where to get a stock airbox, or perhaps a cold air intake. I'd really apreciate any help.

move out of cali. I live in new mexico, and there are no emission checks, so i pulled all of my emissions off, and cut out the cat on my 88, its so great, and its only illegal if you get caught.

get your gas tank real low all most to 1/4 tank. get some methanol about 3-4 gal. in the tank, it will run very porely, but it might pass. then go and fill with gas. in NO way would i go to that state. i made a move to an other city, but i didnt get money to move back, if it didnt work out. course now iam retired in my home town, loving being home.
