I'm no expert on this, but this is news to me. All cars manufactured after
Jan 1, 75 had a Catalytic converter. I always thought the 741/2 was unique
in that the modifications were set for the 75 model year, but they snuck in
a few dual S Us before the Jan 1 deadline. Both my former neighbor, an
another friend had 75's and both had catalytic converters. I may be wrong,
as this is the limit of my knowledge on the subject
