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

1973 1.7L EB code has lower compression, to meet CA emissoins. Its on your posted chart.

yep.
an EB is a 73 cali 1.7 dual fuel running D jet.

but thats not really an answer as to what an EC-A or an EC-B is in 1974.

......starbear and my car are east coast cars from delivery, but are EC-B.
so its not fitting the logic your using? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)

i'd like to accept your idea, but its a proposition/suggestion.
so far there is no solid factory evidence that EC-A and EC-B means a cali or a 49 state.
if it did i think it would be in that chart from the factory manual i posted and it would appear in so much other literature. but it doesn't. ever.

there is something to A and B, but its buried somewhere else in documents?
i'm curious now, mainly because its about my car - so i'd like to know.
