Does a '75 have to pass a smog inspection in California?
If not, can I backdate to an earlier system? Is there any advantage to doing this? Any disadvantages? Thanks, Dean |

I bought and registered my 75 last october and did not have to smog it. the law in california reads that you take the model year and add 29.

The law used to say that. Now it says, "'75 or earlier" doesn't have to be smogged. '76 on has to be smogged. |

installing a '73/'74 2.0 exhaust would gain you some weight savings and approx. 5hp...do a search, this was talked about just a few weeks ago with a pretty good bill of materials needed for the job....

ayup, i'm in the process of doing this very thing. dave darling had a nice list awhile back, showing exactly what's needed for the conversion. or you could do like me and just call up somebody who knows what they're doing and tell them you want to do the conversion. they hooked me up with all the necessary parts, including some new in the box ssi exchangers. those things are gorgeous.
