Any one have a way of getting around emmisons in Pa. Just dropped a new motor in my 80 with hedman headers and dual exhaust even cut the crossmember to go staight back on drivers side. Eliminated all the emmision controls and now they passed a law starting Dec. 2003 that they do a visual check and everything that came on it has to be there. They don't care if it works better with or without but they have to be there. Got rid of all parts.....egr,smog pump,manifolds with air tubes and 10 miles of hoses.

Go to this web site:

This may be your answer: (last sentence)
Currently, vehicles registered in the Philadelphia region (Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery and Philadelphia counties) and the Pittsburgh region (Allegheny, Beaver, Washington and Westmoreland counties) are required to undergo an annual emissions inspection prior to receiving a new safety inspection sticker. Subject vehicles include gasoline-powered, 1975 and newer vehicles up to 9,000 pounds (GVWR). Vehicles registered as classics, antiques, collectibles, street rods, or specially constructed are exempt from the emissions inspection.

also, vechicles drived less then 5000 miles per year can get a special exemption.

I have my 79 registered as a Classic with the state. Annual inspections, but no emission testing !

You'll need photos; front, side and rear as well as your title when you go to the notary. I had my plates in about 2 weeks.

Good luck.

Have to do anything special? I was told one time you can only put so many miles on a year and only take it to car shows and things like that. I want to be able to jump in an drive when I want as far as I want.

Here's the scoop...

The only limit on miles may come from your insurance...
