OK, I went to take the emmision and sadly my '74 automatic didn't make it. It failed the high HC rating while in idle. They said it's giving off excess or unburned fuel, is the mixcture too rich? The car shakes a lille when I'm idled and the red "L" light comes on, so what's going on, just need a carburetor adjustment...cleaning? More? Thanks everyone.
