California had PCV valves in 1958 on GM cars. Saw one at a car show on a factory Buick.
We had a 58 Olds in California and it did not have PCV valve, neither did the 60 Chevrolet. The 64 Pontiac was the first car we got with a PCV valve.
I checked Rock Auto and didn’t see EGR listed on any of the engine options for a 64 Malibu, just PCV. I know in PA a car that old wouldn’t be required to pass emissions.

The PCV system became required nationwide as of the 1963 model year, but it is possible that it was required in CA before 1963.
As to EGR, I can’t recall the exact year, but I don’t believe that EGR systems began to appear until sometime in the early-mid '70s.

No worries 
I think all of us have some CRS, no matter what our age is
The actor who player Cannon on TV played Matt Dillon on Gunsmoke on the radio. You can see Gunsmoke would have had to be vastly different on TV with him in the part.
Speaking of casting, has there ever been a worse choice than Tom Cruise as 6’ 5’ 275 lb Jack Reacher.
My pet peeves, CSI Miami. Gun toting CSI people giving chase to bad guys, and then climbing down seaside cliffs to either rescue or arrest people in MIAMI FLORIDA! and why are they in a Hummer, no snow and no rock crawling in Miami either.
Peeve 2 Tires screeching on ice or snow.
I think there was a foot difference in height. Conrad was a short fat guy. And Arness at 6’6 was one of the tallest big time TV actors.
Similarly, when Superman was a radio series, the “Man of Steel” was played by Bud Collyer. If you recall him from his stint on TV’s Beat The Clock, he was thin, non-muscular, and was anything BUT a “Man of Steel”.
You mean Yenko?
Or was this the evil twin brother?
