First Year of California Smog Equipped Car
Hi All
In previous posts I had shared with you guys that I have a 1967 442 and an engine from a 1967 98 that both had smog pumps and hardware. Well we may be able to push that back one more year as I have a 1966 Toronado with smog equipment on it's "B" heads. Since I don't know the history of the car, it could have been a retrofit but I didn't think that was required back then. So I think there's a good chance that California built cars may have had smog equipment back to 1966. John

It's a great hobby, I just need to take a deep breath once in a while and remind myself that I am having fun in the process!!!
I hope you were able to get one of those air cleaners a long time ago. I've only seen a couple of the regular L-69 tri-carb air cleaners sell and thought the amounts were mind blowing! John
