Re: [AMC-list] Catalytic converters on 74 AMC's

[Frank Swygert <farna@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

According to the 74 TSM no cats were used on any AMC in 74. Only certain models used the Air Guard (air pump) system. All V-8s EXCEPT the 304 in Hornet/Gremlin/Javelin models with auto trans had the air pump.

My 74 Javelin/AMX was originally equipped with the 304 and it still has the 'non-catalyst' sticker on the drivers door and did not have an air pump.? I believe the 360 and 401 did have the air pump and converters.

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."
