It should. If you're looking at the 10067353, it comes with an emissions friendly cam and the smog equipment from the 305 will swap over. Consider adding an Edelbrock 3701 intake which has the egr provision and a C.A.R.B. compliance number. No reason why it shouldn't pass unless you install the wrong carb or leave a vacuum line off somewhere.

How did your truck do on emissions last time it was tested? The original catalytic converters are pretty old by now and may not be helping as much as they should.

I installed a new catalytic converter 2 years ago... Its never given me any problems when it comes to smog...
