Moses, much appreciated and great info for me to get started. I’ll dive deeper into the parts list that should be there. I think most of it is likely to be there except the CAT. I did find a “non catalyst” emissions sticker on the dash next to my VIN sticker, but it’s pretty rough. Does that mean no catalytic converter? I’ll include it here. Jon

I bought a 1978 CJ7 out of Arizona and brought it to California. Before I go through the process of registering it, I'd like to understand what I need to do for emissions and what it might cost. The Jeep has changed hands many times, so I don't know where it started life. I believe it has the original motor and transmission. Vin decoder matches. 258 single barel carb and 3 speed transmission. The engine has a smog pump and exhaust manifold collectors. It does not have a CAT or O2 sensor in the exhaust system. Some dangling wires but not all hacked up. I've looked on line, but unable to find a full layout of what I need. Wiring diagrams don't show O2 sensors, so maybe that's not required. I have found evap canister routing and mapping. If its a emission 49 vehicle, will I need to meet California standards or can my vehicle be stock to where it was sold? Where do I start, what do I do? Thanks, Jon
