I don't want to hijack the thread, but I agree that 1975 was the first year for Cat converters. The reason I remember is that my dad had a new '75 Pinto that was rear ended and he cut the back off and welded on a back of a '74 Pinto to it. I was pretty young, but I remember a discussion about what to do with the new fangled Cat converter thing......I think he just threw it out. So we had the only '75 car in town that still took leaded gas!
