Failed emissions test...(flame trap?) 200

Hello all,


My 84 245 failed it's test today, for the first time in the ten years that I've had it. Here are the numbers, (HC) 1.8000 GPM max. / reading 3.7687
(NOx) 2.8000 GPM max. / reading 6.4298


When I got home I looked the car over closely, and it failed the jiggle test. I discovered that the vacuum hose that runs from the flametrap to the manifold was off. It was about time for a new flametrap anyway so I put a new one in along with a new vacuum hose. It now passes the jiggle test.

All of the other tune-up related items are in good shape. My question is would the above problem cause both of those readings to be high? And do you think I'm ready for a retest?

Thanks,
