NO...the '76 Duster's 360-cubic-inch engine (option code E58) was equipped with dual exhausts, an Air Injection Reactor (AIR) pump, and no catalytic converters.
It was a "49 state" option, meaning that it was not offered for sale in California.
Also, the 318 cubic inch V8 was available in all '76 Mopar A-Bodies (Valiant, Duster, Dart, Dart Sport) optionally with an AIR pump and a "conventional" (non-catalyst) exhaust system...again, this was a "49 state" option that was not available in California.
We had one that we ordered new in '76...it looked like a "Gold Duster," but it sounded like the Bluesmobile!
The Plymouth Duster was an American vehicle that was manufactured between the years of 1970 and 1976. The car was considered a "fastback" and also an "economy car."

Lead was phased out of gasoline in the United States starting in the 1970s due to its harmful effects on human health and the environment. Lead exposure can cause various health issues, especially in children, such as learning disabilities and behavioral problems. The phase-out was completed in 1996 with the introduction of the Clean Air Act amendments.
