John,
 
I remember smog check ( of some sort ) requirements in Ca. in 1964 before titles could be transferred. A used car dealer charged an extra $10. ( if memory is correct ) at the time of sale. I had purchased a 1956 Packard Clipper at the time.

By 1966, the Mustangs had different carburetors (leaned out) and retarded
distributor timing and the 49 states were just getting into PCV systems. 

>>The retarded ignition was done with a dual diaphragm vacuum advance called Imco.
>>Also in 1966, Ford began using their Thermactor system, which injected air into the exhaust.
