Re: California K20 emission question

Smog pumps or A.I.R's were first required in Kalifornia in 1967 and they ran till about 1975 or so when the Catalytic Converters were introduced.
Different trucks/cars had different rules e.g. C10, C20, C30 also different engine sizes entered into the equation also so it's a twisted tale to get it all straight in your head for sure if that's even possible.

Rumor has it too (and I could be 180 out) that the 402's we find in our trucks from the factory was a GM smog game, seems 400 Cu. In. and below was the cutoff for anything smog related such as compression etc. The 402 Cu. In. put them above that threshold.
