My '86 Vette's most recent smog had HC readings of 26 at idle (120 max allowable) and 12 at 2500 RPM (150 max allowable) while CO% was practically nothing at .001 the whole time (max 1.2 %). And this is with an old and used non OBD-2 efficient conveter with unknown milage. Readings would...

The smog readings?

There is a 2% random selection for "test only" inspections aside from the other factors you mentioned.

The smog test itself consists of two parts. A visual under hood inspection and the actual tail pipe output readings with the exhaust analyzer machine. If you fail either you don't pass. The visual inspection checks for any modifications or changes done to the engine's emissions or engine...

That's why you can't trust a lot of mechanics. You could have paid to have that done, and it would not have fixed jack. Go borrow the cooling system pressure tool from Autozone. You can then pressurise the cooling system with a hand pump, and check for the leaks. Then tell the mechanic how...

If it's not deep, it will buff out. I had an 80lbs bullmastiff try to climb on my hood. I used an orbital buffer. First with some 3M Rubbing Compound, then finished with some 3M Final Glaze. Made the paint look brand new with a mirror finish. So I did the whole car. My paint has never looked...
