One of our members sent me his engine bay sticker. Notice that it is for an EA code engine (1.7L 49-state), yet in the lower text it also says it conforms to CA-emissions. He confirms that he also has a COA that indicates his EA-code engine is original to his car, which was purchased in Ohio.
EA code engines are supposed to be 49-state engines and have an 80HP rating EB code engines are supposed to be for CA-only engines and have a 72HP rating Other factory literature confirms this. Was there no EB code label for a 1973 1.7L California model? If you have one can you post it here? Attached thumbnail(s) Attached File(s) 1973_1.7L.pdf ( 50.43k ) Number of downloads: 38 |

I think it's really funny that there a possibility that this happened:
Worker: "Hey Boss, are you gonna make a sticker for these EB engine cars?" Boss: "Nah, just use the EA code sticker. Like anyone is going to look that closely." And then here we are 40 years later...
