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?
