That there is the California spec thermal reactor exhaust manifold. Look very carefully for cracks before putting it back on. It's a multi piece unit made to heat up quickly, essentially a precursor to cats. I've read on here you can use a federal spec manifold and still pass your visual inspection. You'll need to get the EGR and pipe from the vehicle you get the manifold from though.
Snap a pic of the sticker under the hood on the PS. If it's black with white lettering it's a CA spec 40.
Edit: I see in the first post you have the CA spec sticker. It also looks like your air cleaner housing has the vacuum line routing sticker in good shape. I think someone has posted a pic of the routing from the 78 emissions manual before but you'll have to search for it. Nice 40 indeed.
Thank you! I am starting to really enjoy working on it and can't wait to get it back on the road.Dang no fair what an amazing starting point! What a beauty and so original! Great you’re keeping it in the family! And love the original blue plates! Congrats!

Interested to see how you install these. I’ve got mine on the shelf waiting to tackle at some pointCity Racer LLC bow packing for the top front and rear corners of the front doors on the body side. I’m trying to get all of the small details sorted out along the way.

Flip the bezel
The smaller rear corners already have adhesive on them, so its just a matter of prepping the surface. On the other hand, the front packing has this lip for the top bow to slide into. I plan to follow the step @airon23 took and only glue the lower portion to the window frame.Interested to see how you install these. I’ve got mine on the shelf waiting to tackle at some point
Do you need to pull of the top to install that lip?The smaller rear corners already have adhesive on them, so its just a matter of prepping the surface.

Door Top Bow Packing, how do I install?
I recently put new door weatherstripping and have these pieces but I'm not sure how to install them. m top bow either doesn't look like the one in the pictures from @Racer65 website or I can't see how that goes. Can anyone help me out...forum.ih8mud.com
