I think it's actually 173, remember that one guy who moved NM last week?

Arizona is not a terrbily diesel friendly state. I imagine there are a lot more gassers.

Hard to say. But from my observations I'd say there are considerably more 123's than 126's here. And yes. AZ is a diesel unfriendly state. $3.50 per gallon. BS!
And you have to have them tested for emissions every year if they are newer than 1966! Still wont stop me from getting one though. Or two, or three...

I'm from Prescott and I'm paying $2.59 a gallon and I dont have to take an emmissions test.

who cares if you have to test them. the wont fail.its 2.58 here in mesa for diesel. when i made the title i was trying to find out how many of the people on the forum with 126's were in az.

I'd appreciate knowing why they wont fail the emissions test? And yes, it's only cars in Maricopa County that have to do emissions test. I should have mentioned that.

because there is really no good way to measure it. the soot will throw the machine off. i have taken them for emissions with the egr hooked up, unhooked, valves not adjusted,valves adjusted, new air filter,old air filterand have never failed. as for the price of fuel i dont know where your going but i just paid $2.58 and have been paying $2.69 before that. you know i find it funny that someone is allways needing a 617 engine and can never find one for less than a couple hundred bucks yet when i offer one for next to nothing everyone acts like im asking $1000 and has to make all kinds of jokes. so the hell with it, ill just donate it somewhere if everyones gonna act like im an idiot for trying to help someone out with a cheap engine.

"it's only cars in Maricopa County that have to do emissions test."

And Pima county. the test is so lenient you would have to have something wrong not to pass. I always rev to the high end of the test screen, then, when it begins testing, ease off real slow while staying in the test range.

The test consists of a device with a light that reflects off a mirror to measure the opacity of the smoke. Seems pretty primitive.
