San Fernando and Simi guys 
Do you have any mods on your vehicles ? I am going to have get mine smogged soon (95 LT1, 6 speed - with 35K on it)
Do either of you have shortie headers, ported MAF ends, MSD ignition, 52mm TB, computer chip...........mine is also a 49 state car (sold originally in NY) so it must meet Fed standard not CA - is that correct ?

My 86 is completley stock, and I just scraped through on the NO by 1 point!
Not sure what's going wrong there, could the O2 sensors be malfunctioning and causing the mixture to be too lean?

NO (PPM): Oxides of nitrogen (more commonly called NOx) are odorless gases that help form smog, and give smog its characteristic brown color. NO is produced when temperatures in the combustion chambers exceed 2500 degrees Fahrenheit. Excessive engine temperatures could be caused by a lean fuel mixture, by retarded timing, by carbon buildup inside the combustion chamber, or by a malfunctioning engine cooling system. The function of the EGR System is to reduce NO. Unhealthy levels of NO emissions result in a vehicle failing its Smog Check. NO is measured in parts per million (PPM).

Tuneup is the place to start unless it's had one recently.
