77' Blazer 2wd Factory Emissions Equipment

[ECU PIRATE]

Do any of you members know if GM installed factory emissions equipment of 77 Blazers? Here is in Va. I need to have a catalytic converter and/ or smog equipment, on any vehicle made after 1973. This really sucks............

I don't know the answer to your question but I took the smog equipment off my 75 Caddy and never had any problems with inspection. Its up to the inspector to find it and many just don't care. A "hollow" cat that looks right is usually sufficient for those that do care. Get a oil change and/or tire rotation and most stations will be happy for that business.

Also there is a smog inspection exemption for cars older than 25 years.

And lastly, you could always register as antique if you don't drive it that much.

Here's a link to the VA code. But if we all went by the code there would be zero car hobbyists in VA.
