i believe it has to meet the standards from back then, thats what they had to do to my cousins 91 s10 because he had a 350 out of a early 70's camaro.

Yep, you just have to go by '75 standards.

PS - I passed you on Kinderkamack Rd. the other day. I was in stealth-mode tho; my wife and I we were in her Jeep Liberty.

easiest thing to do is to register it as historic. No inspection, and free renewal registration.

Cats were introduced in 1975 IIRC. If you want to duck out of inspection you can opt for historic (QQ) or collector's registration. Personally, I'd go with the collector's.

IIRC cats were introduced in the mid 70's but not required on cars until '77.

Not sure what the rule is on whether or not you will need them if the car was originally equipped.

Not to stick a pin in your balloon, but 10/74 is very likely a 75 model year car. I believe the vin should offer the correct model year.

With things like cats it is done by MODEL year. I had a '75 Vette that was a late 74 build, it had a cat sheild on it when I bought it.

See if you can check an assembly manual for a cat's original presence.
