Summit Racing - "Not legal for sale in CA"

Hi,

Got Accel distributor cap and Accel spark wires from summit racing.
Included invoice says "Not legal for sale or use in California on any pollution controlled motor vehicle."

Am I missing something ?

I personally wouldn't sweat it. Must not be CARB approved/legal or something.

Lack of C.A.R.B. number would be my guess also.

just take it off before getting a smog check done

The same disclaimer was included with the alloy axle shafts I ordered.

?

California law prohibit any modification from factory stock.

I wouldn't worry about it overmuch - it's not a change to the engine management system.

I have no trouble passing with my MSD 8m/m wires, that I made from bulk wire (reminds me, I need to order another spool in the next year or so...)

Basically, if it doesn't have a CARB EO number, they have to say that to cover their own arses. If it's something fairly major (piggyback computer, distributor, intake manifold, or somesuch) that would obviously change and maybe make it fail visual, then it's a problem. However, I can't see it being such an issue with tune-up parts, because there are so many brands available. I just happen to use Borg-Warner for caps and rotors because they have brass terminals, instead of aluminum...

No worries most smog places can't tell the diference anyway.

Thanks,
I particularly liked the axle shaft part.
