Car came from Nevada but I can't tell if it was originally a California car. It still has injection but doesn't have a cat or smog pump. Doesn't look like it ever had either but I'm wondering since I'm going to try and register it here in California. Thanks in advance!!

This is my anecdotal evidence regarding non-cat MY 76 cars. Bought the black car in 2001. Drove to the NJ state inspection station and the inspector wheels a mirror under the car and tries to fail me for no cat. I explained to him that it was a 49 state car and it never had a cat. This part of my memory is hazy, but I believe that there was a 49-state emission sticker in the front trunk. He walked off the line and came back about 20 minutes later and said I was correct. He did miss the dual carbs. I went home and applied for historic plates.
