    Cats don't have the fitting for the check valve pipe. I ordered new ones that are supposed to be Cal legal. Couldn't take the car to the smog shop it appears the fuel accumulator is bad and it needs to be replaced

    Final update: First I would like to thank David and Steve for their technical advise. After installing all the emissions equipment (air pump, diverter valve, the 3 check valves, solenoid valve & a custom made pipe for the two cats to the 3rd check valve) The car required some minor air/fuel mixture adjusting which was done on a Dyno and O2 machine and passed smog test after the adjustments. Again thank you very much !!!!

    BTW, all you had to do was install new cats and it would have passed...

    Emissions maybe,but not visual. California very strict At least the car is in compliance and won't have to worry about it anymore.

    Very happy for you. Those that don't live in Califonia aren't aware of the visual requirement.
    I had a guy reject my 78 Trans Am for failing visual. He spent a good 30 minutes tracing all of the hoses and connections from the diagram and found one loose tube under the Rochester carb and failed me even though the car passed the emissions portion.
