Brickers:

I bought this 89 240 wagon in amazing shape and have it as a second car for when I am in Boston MA for school. I changed the alternator and belts and drove it 1300 miles from GA to MA, no problems. It is required to pass MA smog test for out of area waiver so I can keep the plates current for GA, where it is much cheaper to insure, and my permanent residence. I am needing to get the smog test this week, and was wondering if anyone had some advice for insurance that it will pass. BTW, id did pass the GA smog test 4 months ago, but barely; however the engine was kinda cold and on regular gas. Should I top it off with premium and run the car for 30-45 minutes b4 the test? Any advice will help. I'm not gravely worried, but would rather pass the first time. One thing also, that warm air return hose to the airbox is kinda tattered and not connected flush. The test is the tailpipe test. Thanx.
