Hey All-
I recently converted my AMC 304 exhaust back to the stock manifolds from headers and need to source a catalytic converter. I want to add one back in for environmental purposes more than emissions control since SC doesn't have any. I have the walker Y pipe 40376 and cannot find a converter that will bolt up to the four bolt flange. All the cats I find for a 1979 just have a pipe connector. Is there a V8 rated cat that will bolt up to this y pipe flange or a connector that will convert the flange to a pipe connection on a standard cat? I can find cats that are for the YJ that have a four bolt flange but can't find any info on whether they bolt up to the walker y pipe. I'm not opposed creating my own connector but it would be way easier if there was a stock bolt up style available. Any thoughts or similar setups you guys have out there?
 
I’ve tried all the major performance brands. I looked at the 10142 from rock auto but it still has the slip over fit. I did find later last night that the eastern catalytic has the 10131 that will bolt up to my y pipe no problem and rated for the 5 liter. Just the 1978 model. So I think I’m going with that one.
 
Flowmaster sells some universal cats, they even have universals for the People's Republic of California on there if I remember right. I am going with flowmaster on my exhaust rebuild but I have the I6 AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l in my '81.
