Jeff, maybe you are thinking 1974? According to the 75 TSM: "Catalytic converters are used on all California cars, Nationwide cars equipped with V-8 engines, and Nationwide 10-80 Series [Matador/Ambassador] cars equipped with six-cylinder engines and manual transmissions. Remaining Nationwide cars do not require a converter." ---------------- Date: Sun, 09 Sep 2012 00:26:09 -0600 From: Ken Ames<ameskg@xxxxxxxxx> To: "AMC, Rambler, Nash, Jeep and family"<amc-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: Re: [AMC-list] AMC engines in the Bricklin Message-ID:<1347171969.504c36818f9ae@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 I thought 75 WAS the first year for the converters on AMCs.

I am 99% sure that this is the correct reason. If you remember, AMC was not required to use catalytic convertors in 1975 only. They got a corporate exemption to not use them in 75, but that did not count for Bricklin, because they were a different company. John Blair of the Bricklin club could tell you for sure. I copied him on this..Jeff
