From my research, it is a 70 camaro 302 california.

What is the carb on a 70 Z28 california 4sp? 4555?

ok Nasty z28 says the 4489 is for a LT1 califonia manual tranny
http://www.nastyz28.com/camaro/z28lt1.html

this makes sense, since this carb is on my cal sold 4sp 70 Z

I was thinking it should be the 4555 but I guess my carb is right.

?

John,

If you are running a 4489 I think you should be running a heat shield and a 7028024 canister????



I dont have the sheet to load showing the shield but I can do it later If you need it.

I'm not the ultimate authority on this but my car runs the 4554 and assuming yours was set to go to a calf dealer you would be running an NA9 also.

Jack Seymour set up my car, so I am guessing it has the right stuff. I would love some confirmation about things like the sheild and the canister..........as that is beyond my limited knowledge.
Carl, you are close to my cars (they are just on the other side of the cheddar curtain.) I should have you up for some beers and carb education.
Thanks for the help.

John

John...Do you have Jacks old Citrus car? If so, and if I remember correctly, it should have the Cal emissions. That would be the carb with the tube on the front bowl of the carb that goes to the canister and the heat shield. It is a Ca built and sold in Ca new car if I rember rite.

This is the NA9 bowl







Much different than the 4555

This carb is a 4554

Thanks all. Yes I have Jack's old citrus car. I drive it a fair amount too! And yes it is a Ca built and sold car. I have the original Window sticker and protecto. I really like the car, and love the color, as much for its significance, as the actual hue.
Thanks again for the help!
John
