Hi All

Have seen this on an unrestored car…does anybody have anymore details…? I assume the 022 refers to the 1.7L but what about the other number?

Any insight would be appreciated…thanks

According to my list:

604 is a 1974 1.8L, but I don't know which engine code it is?
605 is a 1974 1.8L EC-B engine code, CA-model
606 over P is a 1974 1.8L EC-A engine code, USA-model

Att 1.8L are EC-code engines but there were sub categories. Look for the label on the drivers side interior engine bay side panel, it will tell you. EC-A, EC-B etc.

ok, my car is a jan build 74 1,8 and it was delivered to maryland.

i've read some stuff on emissions laws in the USA from back in that period that suggests it was not as simple as california and 49 states. i think i came across some stuff that said maryland adopted california smog laws alongside california due to it being basically washington DC. Also i read some stuff about Chicago as a city adopting California standards earlier than elsewhere and having the smog tests enforced equal to LA.

that bit of 604, 605 info is real interesting. i don't have a 606 stamp but its definitely a Maryland delivery.
