Nice truck for $150. That I-6 is even torquier than the 5.0 of the era by something like 10 lb/ft, but with 5 hp less. If I had the chance I'd hit it too for $150.
why would they fail it just because of that? Doesn't make sense to me? :(
Exactly. Which also is why I friggin hate emissions testing.

1. Sharp edges.. all sharp edges on a vehicle fail inspection, if you can cut yourself it fails.
(stupid people safety measure)
2. rot holes supposedly allow exhaust gasses into the car..
RUST does not fail ROT HOLES do.

Good workin engine, although it looks like the ford mechanics just threw a bunch of parts together, closed the hood and hoped for the best.
