Took me 4 smog shops to get one that would pass my Dad's '76 912E. One said No, don't know the car. The second did the test (which the car passes because it is stock minus thermal reactors) but failed it on the visual because you have to remove the smog pump to check the timing and that was not listed in his book. He referred me to a test and tune shop that basically took my word that it was timed correctly and made some BS marks that line up between the fan and fan shroud. Took it back to shop #2 and they still would not pass it on visual and wanted me to get some timing degree thing off a Bus that he though the car should have. Went to shop #4 where the Ferrari dealer takes their cars and what do you know. No questions asked the car passed with flying colors that were much better than the numbers from shop #2. I have gone back to shop #4 twice since with no issues.
