Good evening from lovely NW Oregon, USA. It’s not enough to run an efficient, clean burning engine, here in Oregon, it also has to be a stock application. I’m fooked! The son in law thought he’d do us a favor and bought us an out of state ‘75 2.0. The wife had a ‘71 she drove for 10 years, 40 years ago. This car has a dual carb setup. I need to return it to (as close as I can get in order to fool the inspectors) stock FI. I searched, and I’m sure it’s here somewhere, but I’m not smart enough to find it. Can someone point me to an appropriate thread? Or feel free to answer in any way you deem helpful. Thanks so much.

I'm sure that they are looking at the sheet and it shows fuel injection. You can run an aftermarket as long as it passes. The only real issue I can see is if the car is a CA delivery and shows a CAT.
There are aftermarket CATs available.
Talk to Allen at A&P Auto Specialties on 82nd. He's a factory trained Porsche mechanic and has been around long enough to have done this a few times. I know he has an exhaust guy and could probably help you out. If not point you in the right direction.

Even if someone looks under the "hood", will they really know what they are looking at?

If you can get an aftermarket high flow CAT, could install it, get the carbs leaned out a bit and be surprised if it wouldn't pass. Given the engine is healthy and such.
