RE: [Chrysler300] did California previously smog comply all new rego older vehicles?



I brought a 68 Imperial into California from another state.  The car had a
440 engine with a dual snorkel air cleaner without a hose going to the oil
refill cap.  I had to get an initial smog test to check for equipment only,
which it failed, before I could register the car.  I ended up buying an
aftermarket air cleaner with a hose outlet and an oil refill cap to connect
to it so the car could pass the inspection.  California wanted a closed
crankcase ventilation system.  The Imperial already had a PCV valve.

Club site discussion has just covered some 300s that seem to have had PCVs -
with discussion as to how or when that occurred.

As some may know, a friend of mine imports 50s-60s cars from the US, and on
occasions I take a look at some, and quite often the registration papers are
still in glovebox, on back of visor, or elsewhere pretty easy to see/get.
And what I seem to remember is some California registered cars with rego
papers circa period mid-late 70s, you can find/see smog test paperwork that
is/was obviously part of registration requirement/law??

Anyone know any thing more - maybe some California 300s that now have PCVs,
were fitted in this period? Virtually every car I remember with this
emissions paperwork, had aircleaner drilled at top so a pcv valve could be
connected up to this.
