RE: IML: Catalytic converters



My 76 Chrysler New Yorker Brougham (the “replacement” in 76 for the Imperial) did not have cats as the 400 “lean burn” system was clean enough without them.  The 440 of the same year (without lean burn) required cats as did all 1977 and later models.

Interesting!~

 

I owned a 76 Dodge maxivan (ok-I used it to go to Imperial meets!) which did NOT have a cat converter. I bought it used that way. First time I went for inspection the mechanic said it couldn't be passed because it lacked a converter. He said all vehicles from 1975 had to have them-

I found another mechanic who didn't look underneath., as I couldn't convince the first guy the van didn't have one when made. -Is it possible this is one of the vehicles that was factory free of a converter?
