Emissions equipment varied a lot from market to market, but I believe all the N.A. cars had the 'F' motor, which had lower compression, and probably a slightly milder cam as well. The B30E pumped out a sweet 175HP.

Do I remember correctly that you have a '74? IIRC, the first catalytic converter was fitted to '74 models with the manual tranny. Automatic '74s, and all models before that, had no special emissions equipment, save for a relatively benign EGR system.
