RE: [Chrysler300] California emissions package

["JOHN MC ADAMS" <clafong@xxxx>]

I graduated from a Southern California High School in 1959 and I remember that the dual carb cars from all manufacturers were exempt for awhile from smog stuff in California.  

At that time, I was running 6 Stromberg 97's on a big V8.  Geez, that was a long time ago.  

I also seem to remember that some sports cars were converted to propane when they were imported to get around the smog regulations for awhile.

When CA put the retro sealed crankcase vent program into gear my C300 was
declared  exempt. As I remember, the reason was the factory twin
carburetors. The PCV valve is a controlled vacuum leak. The C300 manifold is
set up in such a way that a central tap as shown in the Hertog post is not
available. I guess the state knew this or gave consideration to the low
production numbers for the car or - - - .
