You were generally buying it to replace a bad block and, presumably, when you did that they still held you to the standards of whatever year your car was from the factory. Before you show up in front of the emissions guy, see if you can't get a better answer from someone around here. Surely someone has gone through NJ emissions.
patrickt - make sense? One must remember who we're talking about here.

My guess is that I'm making more of this than it is, but I like to have all my bases covered to be sure. It's just that from everything I have read, everyone refers to "pre 1974" and "post 1974" in their commentary but doesn't say anything about 1974 itself and I want to be sure I didn't miss something. As far as I know, no one "pre 1974" has had to do anything more than a pcv valve setup.
