Question on California carb

(1/1)

TimT:
My truck is originaly from California and I am still using the original carb although it is not the original engine. The carb number is 17059506. My question is if there is a difference between Fed. and Cal. carbs? Is it ok to use this one? I am looking to buy a carb kit and bushings from you. Thanks


Tim

Cliff Ruggles:
Tim, there is very little actual difference, other than the California emission standard for any given model year were tighter than 48 State, so expect a leaner calibration across the board, if comparing carburetors by part number, for example 17059206 vs 17059506, etc......Cliff
