Neil,

I'm probably the "other lister" you referred to.  My engine is an 18GH
as it was delivered to me in the UK, not California.  (It was to full
USA spec as I was only there temporarily with the USAF.)  I don't know
whether smog equipment was installed on pre-'68 California cars, but I
suspect not.  Anybody know for sure?

Bill
