Ok, so it didn't really pass. Failed the first time due to OBD-II communication failure. My car is OBD-I since I did my swap & since I'm running the Hondata, so clearly when they try to hook up an OBD-II scanner, it's not going to communicate.
Luckily, my friend works at a shop & was able to write up a repair invoice for me. So when I came back to re-take the test, it failed again because their computer couldn't communicate with mine. I gave them the invoice & they gave me a waiver!
I know my car would have passed the regular emissions test, but in MD all 96+ cars just get hooked up to a computer instead of having to do the treadmill & sniffer test. They refused to test my car the old way... so fuck the system!!
