Your question cannot be answered without knowing the condition of your engine, but my 2002 Passat 1.8T manual states that overfilling the engine oil pan will dump the excess oil out the exhaust and also into the catalytic converter, of course. In similar fashion, any engine problem that allows excess oil into the upper cylinder area ( broken piston rings/ perhaps worn valve guides, etc ) can possibly result in excess oil going thru the cat and out the exhaust pipe. Does your engine emit any blue smoke out the exhaust, or can you smell any oil smoke odor? I would probably do a cylinder compression test to see if this could help pinpoint any problems. Hope this helps.

Does the 1974 454 motor have a catalytic converter?
Only if it was sold in California. In 1974 all California cars had catalytic converters. In 1975, the rest of the country followed suit. If you've got the build sheet, you should be able to easily determine which dealership sold the car new and then you'll know if it should have a cat.

position 1 bank 1 would be on the header where cylinder number 1 is located. you can work your way back from there position 1 bank 2 would be the opposite exhaust manifold, followed by position 2 bank 1 would be the pre catalytic converter sensor, and position 3 bank 1 would be post catalytic converter.
