Ready to finish the exhaust

I have a 75 CJ5 and am curious if this came with a catalytic convertor? I have put on headers and suppose I would need two of them? I would just as soon not mess with it, but I don't know if they were original equipment.

 

I believe the 75 is the first year to use cats. Not positive though.

I know that here in GA they don't test cars over 25 years old and lots of folks exclude those kind of things on rebuilds, I know I am. Too much $$$.

 

That was my plan.... but was wondering if they were original equipment.... don't know if they will inspect that in Alabama....

 

I believe the V8s do ... each year's factory manual has a table of which devices apply to what models. I can check later.

The factory manual is a good investment, BTW. Just sayin'.

 

Hum when i took off my oem exhauts pipe on my 1975 it did not have any cat on it...only one big muffler....

 

Timgr,I have a Haynes, a Jeep Bible and a variety of other manuals.... I shall look for the factory manual....Thank you for the reply,

 

This is the manual you want: http://www.bjsoffroad.com/prod-670.htm

These are great. There's a '74 and a '76 manual online at www.oljeep.com ... you can kinda make a '75 manual by looking at the wiring for '76 and at '74 for everything else. But that won't provide the emissions specs.

 

Thanks for the information

 

Notice that all V8 CJs require a catalytic convertor in 1975.
