The '76 cars had "thermal reactors" from what I have researched, there are catylitic converters but a more primitive system to try to burn excess hydrocarbons in the exhaust. There may have been an air pump too on the engine. The cooling fan had like 5 blades to actually run the engine hotter to help this burning of excess fuel. Google some pictures and you will see the fan for sure.

Good luck and all you can do is hope it passes I guess.
