Neil,
I'm probably the "other lister" you referred to. My engine is an 18GH
as it was delivered to me in the UK, not California. (It was to full
USA spec as I was only there temporarily with the USAF.) I don't know
whether smog equipment was installed on pre-'68 California cars, but I
suspect not. Anybody know for sure?
