Pre-1996 Vehicle Conversions & Legality
I understand that the topic of 'illegal' non-EPA approved conversions can be contentious and is not allowed here.
However, I would like to clarify something... would non-EPA certified conversions of older vehicles, e.g. pre 1996, be illegal? My understanding is that the EPA regulations relate to the sensors mandated in 1996 and newer vehicles.
I have an interest in exploring the possibility of a low-cost conversion of an older vehicle, but I do not wish to pursue this matter on the forum if it is illegal and contrary to forum policy.
Comments on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to CNGchat.
My understanding is if the older vehicle has no OBD controls you are OK. Keep in mind, however the cost of the conversion vs. the remaining life of the vehicle to see if it will pencil out.
