    There are a variety of emissions wasps in Canada's provinces, and they focus all their attention onto 1988-and-newer stuff. That suits me swell, as you won't ever find me behind the wheel of anything newer than ~'85, for a number of reasons and a couple bad experiences with said (corrupt) Nazis. I don't know what my Mustang will do in the 1320 (it's no powerhouse, and I've never been concerned with that department), but it certainly runs and drives and consistently acts and behaves better any given day/time/temperature/weather than it ever did, or I'd guess than any 3.8 does as-is factory-wise and working "good", and the 32 mpg average it got on it's last long trip is icing on the cake and are great reasons to switch to and dial in a carburetor if you're able to "legally".
