Joe,
All I can tell you is what the EPA website says about the 1990 law.
It's in the FAQ section

Rich,
From the research I've done on the topic.
the answer to your question is yes.
25 years was a time limit. But now that would mean 1990, well into computers and fuel injection.
many have dates and 1975 and earlier is fairly common.
The exceptions are California and New York. They are very strict.

As stated by others depends on the county, even in NY! In upstate, and I mean WAY upstate (Adirondacks, etc.), on pre OBD II cars, they never even open the hood or put the car on a hoist. Oh sure dealerships and chain stores will, but not the independents. It's not hard to get your inspection, at least for 'car guys/gals'. Awful lot of "monster trucks' driving around that get inspected!
