"These are the days of miracles and wonder
This is the long distance call....." -- Paul Simon

Gad, I remember when long distance calls were expensive! Now we just find out who to contact and call them!

I made a call to the California Air Resources Board and then went to the Consumer Protection people, who sent me to the Bureau of Automotive Repair who sent me to the Engineering & Research Division of Smog Engineering where I talked to "Rocky". He informed me that due to changes in smog testing in California that there was a boatload and a half of obsolete but working 4 gas analyzers that could be had VERY cheaply.

No need to make my own equipment! What a timesaver!

I'll check this out and post a link to any equipment that I find. I got a coupla pennies to rub together here somewhere.

These aren't portable, as far as I know. Portable is what I want, but I'll take what I can get and be real happy that I don't have to re-invent any wheels right now.

I'll still have to rig up an opacity meter for diesel. Seems easy enough as long as I'm satisfied with comparative results for simple experimentation.

I feel blessed by this day's events.
