Carbs in Calif Cars (no Alfa content)

     Paul Irvine states:
     
     
     "I once owned a 1981 Honda Accord. This car I believe had the dubious
     destinction of being the last new passenger car sold in CA with a
     carburetor."
     
     My wife had an '85 Nissan Sentra with a carb.  The car was reliable 
     and the carb worked fine till smog time came, then the car was one of 
     the first "gross polluters," and I had to get the carb rebuilt twice 
     to make it pass.  But I really decided we needed to get rid of the car 
     after the time we went on a fairly long trip and couldn't hear the 
     radio over the buzzing from the engine at anything over 65 mph.  We 
     finally gave the car to my in-laws.
     
     Anyway enough about Nissans.
