Why? If it's stated right up front...? Plus most cars have ECU's that will protect the engine these days--long gone are carbs.
Anyhow, I must be wrong, 'cuz I've yet to hear of any cars blown up at the sniffer station.
Anyhow, on a semi-related note, I just learned tonight that my car goes emissions-exempt next year (this year?). NH doesn't require OBD checking on 20 years and old. Ya-hoo! Somehow I missed that in the rules, probably because this is the oldest car I've owned in a long time.
