Nice car. Just curious, did you find this one in Santa Monica? I think I saw it around there.

seafoam, new pcv or ccv valve, o2 sensor (pre cat as its a 95), spark plugs, had a couple vacuum leaks, oil change, and most importantly i look the car on a very long drive before the smog to make sure the cat was at operating temps, right when i got to the smog the put it on and tested it and it finally passed!

The cat makes all the difference if you're blowing excess HC, CO and NO. Mine was blowing 150+ppm HC, failed bad, I installed new cat, now 0 ppm. Aftermarket cats do work for a year or two, but in CA the guy is supposed to crawl under the car and make sure the cat was designed for the car (as in OEM) so you might have to borrow someone's to pass the visual.
