@RS-60 mark posted:So I my "telephone interview" with BAR was a week ago today (actually taking 4 weeks for first available Telephone Interview!) Nice guy, was helpful, asked a few questions, like: Do you have your SB-100 Sequence Number certificate? I told him no, it has been over a month since DMV said I would get it in the mail, but I do know the number. He said without the actual certificate the process must "hold".
But he emailed me a list of everything I would need to show up with at my eventual BAR inspection and also told me I needed to have a certain PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation system) -- and sent me pictures of a system they would accept. It was what early VWs had, a breather hose from the oil filler neck to a carb filter, and a Micky Mouse rubber 'duck bill' valve drain on the stock oil filler condensation drain. Even though my breather system is much more efficient that a stock VW system, and easily modified to PCV, for $35.00 in parts I simply replaced what I had to a stock VW filler neck an a vent hose to an air filter.
Finally (!!!) on Friday I got the SB-100 Sequence Number certificate from DMV. So tomorrow I will pick it up again with BAR.
We'll see . . . . .
The easiest part was the actual referee. I had to send images to the BAR and the only critical thing is the closed crankcase set up. If you don't have one you need to run a line from the oil filler to the air filter. Good luck
