but if emissions tried to connect to it would fail?
No, you'd be using an OBD1 ECU just to keep the CEL off for an MT swap, but you could also use the ECUtune stuff, and check codes without a scanner. And it would be easier to find an OBD1 ECU than an OBD2 one, if it needed replacing. It wouldn't really help pass inspection, because when they plug in the OBD2 scanner it won't be connected to the ECU.

I was, um, kidding? I would never do anything illegal, and neither should anyone else.

For the odometer issue, couldn't you just say the gauge cluster was replaced and is no longer accurate? (Hypothetically of course...) On the FL titles, there is an option for exactly that. Is that not a common thing?
