They require a different cat if it needs replaced and you still live there. They are cheap if they fail emissions down there.Reflex paint by Langeman...Lifted...Tow Rig

If thats it no big deal. No inspections of any kind in most of Oregon thanks for the infoComment

The carbed festiva were a little different. The 4-speed trannys were different as were the egr valves, I believe.The Festiva Store

i found this hard to believe but according to this page from a factory repair manual all you need to make your 88 calif into a 49er or vice versa is to switch a wire?

I hadn't seen that, what do you bet that the California calibrations get poor fuel economy because of the retarded timing!?
You could set the California setting ahead by adjusting the timing up so that it equals fed spec. Then unplug the jumper for high altitude
or just wire it to a switch! Gotta beat them at their own game somehow!Reflex paint by Langeman...Lifted...Tow Rig

that's for the FBC... the timing is set by the dizzy, it's weight springs and vaccum advance, the dizzy isn't PCM controlled like with the EFI cars. the calibration could only effect the fuel curve and EGR activation.Trees aren't kind to me...
