CA Smog Legal Headers for a 1977?
We have a customer looking for CA smog legal headers for a 1977 Corvette. Anyone out there found any manufacturer?
Thanks in advance.

Make sure that '77 has air tubes. Most of the Federal cars in '77 did not have A.I.R. The exception would be L82 and cars delivered to CA new. The only thing my '76 had smog wise related to the stock exhaust manifolds was a dampner to force hot air across the intake when it was cold.
I would verify what configuration is on the car, then call Hedman. No sense of having the A.I.R. holes if you don't need em'....gp

76 w/A.I.R. ??
I just purchased a 76. The car was purchased but not registered in CA as a result of the lack of smog equipment and true duals.
My question is if I want to get it CA legal how do I know if this car came with an A.I.R pump and other smog items such as the dampners as suggested in this post? I do want to make it legal, but don't want to spend money on items I don't need. If a federal car was not shipped to CA initially can the car be registered with the smog items installed?
Thanks

If its a federal car you only need the required item for said vehicle if it's an original cali car then you may have to get certain things on it or take it to a bar referee and see what's exempt or required. I made the mistake of pulling off all smog equipment and junking it the one year I was exempt in 06. The refs aren't to bad and they give you list where to find parts. I'm a smog tech and some guys are real picky
