Being a '74 I am not sure if it does have catalyst. This car seems to have been put together right on the cusp of upgrades and changes from 1973 to full 1974. Has some of the older systems and some of the newer, as if they used what was left over on the line and had not been upgraded to new inventory.
It does get hot and the hood pad will need updating. Some of the plastic and rubber parts are worn. If vacuum under the hood is going, may as well get it fixed, as there are vac issues elsewhere (locks and climate) clay On Jan 24, 2013, at 9:33 PM, Rick Knoble wrote: > On Jan 24, 2013, at 11:22 PM, "clay monroe" <redgh...@comcast.net> wrote: > >> Vacuum issue? > > > If I recall correctly, you had posted before that this car has under hood > catalytic reactors for emissions control?
