I have the original carb from my 81 if your interested. Swapped the engine 4 years ago, my original engine had 40,00 km (almost 25k miles) My car ran perfect with this carb. lmk if your interested and ill pull it out of storage to take some pics so you can verify its what you need.

In Ca. you are allowed to upgrade to a newer engine IF you transfer all related smog equipment to the car with the transplant.
And I jump up and down and foam at the mouth about the smog test here. Damn

Oh yes. They froze the 30 year old exemption at 1975 in 2005.
