If you have a '75, it doesn't need to be smogged. For later years, yes. Besides what has been mentioned, you will need to install an air injection pump, although that is pretty much a visual item. I guess my point is that I think with a bit of clever retrofitting, a TS could pass visual as well as emissions. Last item: the infamous heat riser and "duct". All that dookie could easily be fitted to a TS and then why shouldn't it pass visual? Heck, if need be, you just explain that your brother took your head to his machine shop and customized the look with a cool plug wire cover and customized the graphics also.

What's the diff? After you are done setting up the TS to pass, they are both fuel injected, twin cam, aluminum block and head, 4 cylinders, with air-injection, heat riser, and a cat, oh yeah, and a PCV valve. I doubt even a sharp guy at one of those stations would recognise that your injection was electronic instead of mechanical. In other words, I doubt that the visual inspection list says anything but "fuel injection", and doesn't qualify the term.
