The problem, I think, is that there are so many variables.

If you have a pre '68 car there is one set of instructions.

If you have a '68 - '75 car there's another set of instructions IF you're in California, but not anywhere else.

etc. . . .

It's all dependent upon what you have and where you are.

To my understanding, a registered importer IS required if anything needs to be done to the car before it can meet whatever applicable standards are required.

I understand your point, but as with any advice, one would be advised to receive it and investigate further. One has to be able to sift the useful from the superfluous. Personally, I have appreciated peoples feedback on this matter and have learned something new.
