the EO is D-193-132. https://ww3.arb.ca.gov/msprog/aftermkt/devices/eo/d-193-132.pdf .That allows it to be sold in California. O'Reillys needs to update their system.

Thanks to all of you who contributed money, sweat, time to help keep the air clean. CARB has to be strict on this stuff because , let's face it, most will take a "who me?" Attitude if they find a workaround.

Our version is 1000 towns that want GE to clean up their waste, but don't want to raise their sewer tax 50 cents to stop pouring raw sewage into the Hudson

Nice work Steve! Your due diligence is going to help a lot of people keep their Buses on the road! It’s great to see it finally come to fruition. I just hope that enough people buy the part so that magnaflow continues to produce it. Well done!

O’Really’s management called me back and should have catalogue/sales specs problem resolved by Friday.

Thanks, SGKent, for all your efforts in making this happen! We have had these on order from Magnaflow, and I am excited to say that today we received ... err... well, one. Two more are on the way and should be here in a few days. After that I'm not sure, it seems they're coming out in dribs and drabs for the time being. The format is exactly as SGKent said, of course, including the O2 sensor port even though not pictured on their site.

The link to order is http://www.busdepot.com/039131701.

Our listing says they're shipping early next week but that refers to the two on their way; whoever orders first will get the one already in stock. Once all three are gone, orders will ship as soon as they arrive in the order that they were placed; we are checking with Magnaflow daily. Assuming you pay by credit card (we don't take Paypal on backorders) you will not be charged until yours actually ships. Also no sales tax charged on orders going to California. (PS Our pic is still of a 49-state one, although no appreciable difference besides the State of California's blessings and the resulting price tag.)

So I'm Google searching for CA 1979 EO D-193-132, and this thread pops up!

I find that EO listed on every search for CA buses I find; that essentially means that we can run whichever 75-79 exhaust piping we want, as long as CAT matches that EO. I think that means my current '79 CA project just got a lot cheaper…

Question:

I have a 79 CA-spec bus here in Utah, and am having trouble passing emissions

The current through process is that the cat is not working properly. Colin was here on Saturday and measured my exhaust tube on the driver side at 720f (compared to the 560f for NaranjaWesty). CHTs also regularly go above 400, too, which would tie in to the cat emitting too much heat, I guess.

I no longer have the Hall-effect distributor or electronic ignition pack (just a 205P distributor), so do I need the CA-spec catalytic converter at $712, or can I fit the Federal at $359. The rest of the CA-spec exhaust appears to be in place.

Hmm, and going on the comment before mine, I wonder if my f-pipes match the heads (engine was rebuilt in 2012 with new heads...).

think your AFM is adjusted too rich.

Your F pipes are likely fine; I don’t think it’s actually possible to instal and drive with the incorrect pipe/head combo.
