1980 Toyota Corolla 1.8 L Gas Cap Filler Bent. Failed the smog test.

My car failed the smog check this year for the first time. This is because there is a "new" test that checks the compression of the fuel system or something like that. They failed my car (emissions were fine) because my fuel filler neck was bent and they couldn't get the device to fit on the filler neck. They said I need a new neck. I searched EVERYWHERE - junk yards, online, dealers - NOTHING. What do I do? Can I get this waived?
Answer:

You may want to contact the State Smog Check Parts Locator to help you find a filler neck for your 1980 Toyota Corolla. The State's Part Locator helps motorists locate hard-to-find emissions parts that are needed to bring their vehicles into compliance with state law. If the parts are not available, the they may be able to issue you a "Limited Parts Exemption". In most cases the needed parts are found. You may contact the State Smog Check Parts locator by calling 800–622–7733. posted by SmogTips Support
