Randy,
There were no smog requirements in Calif. until 1966. I have had two 1965 cars and they had no smog equipment and were not required to be smogged. So if the person uses an engine pre 66 except the 427, there is no smog. My 65 / 390 had a PCV valve but they did not start the every other year smog testing until 1966 and then only on 66 and up cars. There are no standards or smog equipment made for pre 66 cars here. That is why I am saying that if you have a pre 66 engine of any kind, you do not have to have any smog equipment as there was no such thing. I have a 1965 Comet right now that is my daily driver and I have never had it smogged since day one. It has a PCV valve only. See Decooney's reply above. And since the engine this guy has is a 1964, there are no levels to smog it to if you sell it so I don't know what they would use there. But the other every year smog tests would apply to any engine after 1965,however the standards were pretty lax then and if you have it tuned at all well and the right equipment it should pass. If I sell my Comet, I don't have to have it smogged because it is a 1965. Howard's1969 engine would require the smog equipment. So we are talking about completely different engine years here.
