Anything aftermarket, emissions related in California technically has to have a CARB tag.

Contact the vendor and/or manufacturer and ask if it's CARB-certified and if they include the sticker.

The distributor is not emissions needing a CARB. Compliance.. if that were true. Every part from. Wires, cap rotor, plugs, ICM and opti would require CARB compliance. The LTCC still needs the Opti wheel as a reference.
So adding. Precise spark to each cylinder. Would fail??? CA emissions?
