[1978 Jeep CJ California Emissions Requirements]

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.

[1978 Jeep CJ California Emissions Requirements]

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
