I've got an old unlabeled converter in the garage. Dont know if it would pass a visual with your tech as its not "FOR CALIFORNIA USE"

Marks would be a better bet IMHO.

An old looking one like that they probably wouldnt even check for a CARB stamp as there wasnt CARB stamps back in 76. A nice shiny one like mine would get inspected...

I haven't measured the two, but these looks remarkably like the cats used on Vanagons.
