Being in Minnesota I've never had to deal with Cali. emissions before. Is there a list of what's different so I don't have to worry if, say, some random little engine part I get from the junkyard has to be Cali? advTHANKSance.

I'm not really worried about passing emissions, we don't have testing here anymore. I just don't want to have problems with the engine if I mix the parts, like would it run rough or get really bad gas mileage or something? Like when I looked it up I noticed that there are even separate California spark plug wires! Are they really that different? I just figure it's easier to get federal parts around here, y'know?

I just figure it's easier to get federal parts around here, y'know? the spark plug wires are diffrent because the 2 distributors are diffrent, the federal spec having the coil inside the distributor car, and the cali spec having it outside, mounted to the firewall. no worries on passing emmisions, as long as your car is in good running order, it should pass either way, even in cali. -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)
