Appears the '78 Camaro exc. Z-28, exc. Calif. emissions and the '78-79 Pontiacs may cross. Do you have any pics for reference or leads to them?

Thanks

I had time before I left today to dig it out for you, here’s the numbers I see. I have a mount bracket for sale too, not sure why I kept the OG crossover, but I did
I got a buddy with a Cat like this for sale if your interested.

Steve, I have one currently on my blue 1979 Calais that I might be in the market to sell, It is in decent shape. I currently have a 79 Hurst Style exhaust on this car and I'm thinking about going back to single.

One thing though. IMHO I would avoid these old Cats, they are obsolete. Unless you are intent on going original show car for it to be correct, a Walker Cat or something like that would be better. Heck, if your state will allow it, I'd go test pipe and nix the Cat altogether.

Just thinking out loud

I'm gathering all mine, but for a different reason.........I'm moving. Man, I can't believe some of the stuff I've accumulated since I moved here 22 years ago, my set of NOS 350 R motor exhaust manifolds, a set of 1971 or 1972 350 manifolds, 3 intake manifolds, it just goes on.
