I know in AZ you can do engine swaps as long as the year motor you are putting in is the same or newer than your vehicle so it has the emissions stuff. But what about dash swaps/custom dashes with Autometer(and other aftermarket) gauges? I want to do a sheetmetal dash in my 1993 s10, but they do a 'bulb check' to make sure that the Check Engine light comes on and goes back off to make sure its not unplugged. How would that happen/how would it pass with Autometer Gauges that do not have that light? If any one has done this before and had it to pass emissions I would appreciate some info. Thanks.

I may be in the same situation. Maybe we can go in together and get a PO box in Prescott. Not emissions required up there :)

Im not sure about a bulb check on a 93 s10? They dont use the obd on onlder than 96(some 95's) they only run it with the hose over the exhaust, a pressure test, and a quick once over to make sure emissions parts are there... I could be wrong but I dont see how they could do a bulb test without the obd?

I was told at the third party DMV that you cant register a vehicle to a PO Box however I know a little way around it:???:

You can't register to a PO Box but you can register to a mail center. Like a PO box but not owned by the Postal Service. I just call mine Apt. 378 instead of box 378.

If you have a check engine light just wire in a red light somewhere. You'll have to do the same for blinkers anyways.

My buddy tried doin that with a civic he did a motor swap to. But they wanted him to show a paystub from work.. because even if you live outside Maricopa county, if you drive into the county on a daily basis for school or work, they still require it to be emissioned..

Like already stated, they won't check you light on that year. They do a sniff and gas tank and cap test.

They can't do the computer scan because its not ODB II, but when they start the vehicle to dyno it they make sure that the light comes on then goes off to make sure that the check engine light is not on and the person didn't just pull the bulb... a lot of vehicles will still pass the exhaust smog portion even if the light is on. So they want to make sure the bulb wasn't pulled.

They did it to me on Monday. The dumb jackass had to call his supervisor over because there was no 'little yellow engine picture' as he described it... and the supervisor had to explain to him that 'service engine soon' meant the same thing.. he had the most confused face ever, I thought he was going to shit himself when he found that out...

93 is before OBDI and way bvefore OBDII

the will check your charcoal canister and drive your car through the little test they do.

no need for a CEL light.

shit 1993 is almost 20 years ago, its considered an antique vehicle now..
