8DC Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 How do I check if my car (76 280z, manual) came with California emissions? I always assumed that it was Federal emissions (no cats; spent it's whole life in the northeast and michigan), but today I went to replace the distributor and the one on it is stamped D6F4-03. Can a California dist. be run on a Federal car?...and just to double-check:D6F4-01 = Federal Emissions, Manual Transmission, dual pick-upsD6F4-02 = Federal Emissions, Automatic Transmission, dual pick-upsD6F4-03 = California Emissions, Auto and Manual, single pick-upThe shaft in mine is wobbly and needs to be replaced, the car also doesn't like to rev past 3500-4000 RPMs without getting really rough. I realize that is probably from the shaft, but could the wrong distributor also be a culprit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elishallen Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 The ignition control module is also different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8DC Posted April 17, 2015 Author Share Posted April 17, 2015 (edited) Ok, then how do I find out which ICM I have?...and while we are on the subject, where do I find it? I thought they were supposed to be located on the side of the distributor in these cars, but mine isn't? Managed to get a shot of the stamping while I was out there too:I just want to know which distributor belongs on the car and where I can order it from.
