I thought 75 was the start of cats, smog pump, EGR etc. CA cars may have been earlier.

Check catalogs and stores on forum to see if they even exist.

Good luck

Try this like. http://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/...te/402657.html. This guy is in Hinkley Ohio and rebuilds the smog units. Also http://www.1motormart.com/parts/2/ch...rdone+Air+Pump.
They sell remanufactured units. Yours would be $57.95 + a core charge. I need one for my 68 also. I did not think the price was too bad.

Even L88's had the AIR setup.

If that isn't incomprehensible...but if was sold for the street, it had to have the smog crap.
