Thanks for cleaning up my memory, and no sooner did I send this out than I recalled the ubiquitous PCV valves, but then again, I spent the 60s and 70s in the real world. Even when the air pumps came out and the air injector nozzles came into fashion, most folks pulled this stuff off to ease access to real parts, pitched the air pumps, and went to non-emission carbs and distributors. Years later, lots of folks had to scramble when inspections caught up with the technology in the late 70s. Point being, CA and only a few other places were serious about this, and in some states, it depended on local air quality, with inspections being enforced county by county. Cheers, Bob
