1967 was an option year for emission control before the 68 mandate. Are there any records of how many 1967 hemi cars where made to CAP standards. Was this a CA only option/requirement? If numbers are known how many where 4 speeds. Specifically interested in the Hemi cars, not other motors. Thank you

Yes, for cars sold in California the CAP system was required, not an option. Hope that helps.

Thanks, I did figure it out. Also found a letter that stated 66 Hemi were exempt. Still curious about numbers produced in 67 for CA.

Not sure there is an option report for that year and model.

In 1970 there is N95 (ca emissions) and N97 (ca? noise reduction) on the fender tag. But those are mandated packaged, not customer choice options

I believe the intent of the option reports were to track customer choice trends.

Not sure if those mandated packages show up on any report. And those reports at best only track options for a VIN designated model, like GTX, RR, Belvedere I. So you’ll never get a break down of how many Hemi cars or Hemi 4spd got chrome curb feelers or whatever.


In the bigger scheme it’s not really an entity of desirability. It’s like a group of guys all dating models. And one says, “but i’ve got the only one with detached earlobes ”... at that point, who cares.

Good one !

I'd think the closest one could get to a # would be to know how many were sold new in CA.
Probably not much help, but maybe someone has that figure.
(This is where I make work for Barry or Scott Smith laugh2)
And even that could be inaccurate: interstate dealer trade, non-registered racecars...

Well CAP was mandatory for CA and was only CA. So in the case of a somewhat limited option Hemi, just wondering how many sent to CA were a Mandatory CAP option would be required. The point for me is how rare are the pair of carbs I have.
It certainly would matter to someone restoring a 67 CA hemi car who strived for a correct OEM restoration. So the CAP option is not like a pair of curb feelers. rolleyes It was a specific part with specific part numbers only applicable to the 67 Hemi CAP car. Same with the distributor. If data does not exist so be it. Somewhere a bean counter had to tell carter how many to make for production support. Was hoping someone had an estimate.

1967
Dodge:
B-body V8 with C.A.P. ~7.7%
R/T with C.A.P. ~9.2%
Charger with C.A.P. ~12.1%

Plymouth:
B-body V8 with C.A.P. ~9.0%
GTX with C.A.P. ~8.8%

a big "ballpark" guess: ~50 cars were: HEMI - 4 speed & C.A.P. shruggy

I'd suggest contacting Scott Smith; he knows a lot about the OEM carbs and what's out there.

Now before we go down the "Where does this stuff come from?" road, again, this is from the 1967 Plymouth Data Book (salesman's book). Direct quote "Cleaner air package (mandatory Calif., NA otherwise or on Hemi)". This would seem that initially the CAP was not intended to apply to the California Hemi but if they exist, they exist. I personally don't know one way or another.

For a little while, Calif excluded multi-carb engines from emissions controls, which in mid-'60s would include CAP (Cleaner Air Package).
There were also some differences for "high altitude" cars; I had 2 383 Road Runners from Denver, CO that had Calif-style carbs.

May want to look at that again, the one on Hamtramck doesn't say that. Regardless, I have seen the letter that exempted 66 only. If you look at the parts book, service manual, Carter Books, the carbs exist along with CAP distributors for Hemi in 67. 68 up everything was CAP. That is not really the question, more interest in how may CA Hemis and how many 4 speed.

Interesting, I stand corrected on the Plymouth data guide. The Plymouth Salesman pocket guide nor the Dodge guides say that. Regardless, 67 did have CAP for Hemi as discussed above.

I know absolutely nothing about this other than what I read. I wish Scott Smith would weigh in here.

I apologize for hijacking the thread but I have a sorta related question. I have a 1969 charger R/T 440 engine that was a California car and has N97 on the build sheet, what does that mean the car came with as far as hood pad , noise reduction , carb #, and/or green carb solenoid?? I'm trying to figure out what the N97 package all included?? TIA!!

I don't know the numbers on CAP 67 Hemi cars in California but I do know that there were only 58 1967 Chargers built with a Hemi 4 speed and there were 59 1967 Chargers built with a hemi automatic.

I own one of the 58 Chargers made with a 426 Hemi 4speed.
