That sheet is what I was looking for but couldn't get from the local smog tech. At least I have an idea of the equipment required. Now I need pics and a source for replacement parts. The truck has a GVW of 9550, so that makes it fall under Heavy Duty Emissions 351M engine.

Can you post up pics of your door VIN plate and the sticker on the door jamb please? I have a curiosity that your truck can itch.

You're right...a smog guy won't give a rats behind about what the ID numbers are, but he won't issue a pass or fail until the vehicle is actually tested.

If the wrong parts are installed...from the 49 states, it may not pass smog.

The parts have different calibrations.

Why would Ford...throughout the parts catalogs...have the following notation "with CA emission" if everything is the same nationwide?

I've seen those "vehicle failed" print out sheets 100's of times which point to what part(s) failed, for whatever reason.

Then sold the customer the CORRECT part(s) 100's of times.

If the DSO number is 71 or 72, the truck was sold new in CA.

If the DSO number isn't 71 or 72, it makes no difference.

Regardless of where the truck was sold new, it still must meet CA standards in order to pass a smog inspection.

If none of this crappola didn't matter, I wouldn't give a damn about this scheiss!!

The fact is...is does matter!

with me right now it is all about viewing all the FORD diagrams I have and matching it to the info the guy gave me.

It has nothing to do with parts counter experience.

I have about 23 351M diagrams.
Most are engine code B or D.

From day one...all this CA only emissions parts was a royal PITA.

From the chart you posted on a previous page, I have looked at every Ford ID number, and come up with the correct part numbers that pertain to CA.

Some are different.

I'm waiting for the OP to pass along the pics...I'll pass them on to you, or the OP can send them to you.

My ref to "CA Ford parts counter experience" meant I know what the hell I'm talking about. It wasn't meant as a slur towards you. If you took it that way, I apologize.

ALL my application books state Only pre- 1979 show California specifc listings.

in 1979 everything changes to ..All 50 states.
The diagram I posted in a engine E ..a NON-Catalyst system
thus,. no catalytic convertors...
thus,.... less Emissions crap.

Required smog equipment

The smog sheet that was posted earlier showed the equipment required on a 1979 model and still showed California Only footnotes. Maybe the change to 50 state specs happened earlier for cars than trucks?

good point !

The thing is the OP stated it was Maintenance schedule code "E" and that image I posted matches maintenance schedule code E.

The Carburetor's listed are for "Truck" application as well.



Now I have to go check all my other truck literature

Sent some picks to Bill (NumberDummy) and a description of the info plates on the door and hood. Any idea what a manifold, carb and air cleaner assembly might cost? I'll need these parts at the least.

Masterbeavis the number you're looking for is DSO 71. It says WB 133/Color D/Type F350/Body SF4/Trans K/Axle 37A/Max GVWR 8550/Year 1979. Hope this scratches the itch.
