K-19 was required for all 1966 California Corvettes except L72. It was required for all 1967 Corvettes except, POSSIBLY, L-88.

Re: 1967 Smog Pump

I believe 1966 was the first year.

Should The Order Copy (tank Sticker) List K-19?

Re: 1967 Smog Pump

1966 was the first year for smog equipment on the Corvettes delievered to California. It was on the 327's and the 427/390 but not on the 427/425 cars.

Assuming that the original selling dealer was Harry Mann Chevrolet, then the car should have shown K-19 on the order copy and window sticker. Although mandatory for California-delivered Corvettes for the 1967 model year, it was an extra cost option and not part of standard equipment, per se.

Re: 1967 Smog Pump

FWIW--my 67 base-motor convertible was sold new in Alhambra--it has K-19 on the tank sticker.

Re: 1967 Smog Pump

Do you have a photo of the tank sticker? Maybe we could figure it out better. Are you sure the expected date of production is 1-27-67?

Re: 1967 Smog Pump

Is this good news for my 1967 435 HP 427? It is a california car and when I bought it in 1971 I thought the smog pump was removed.
I am ready to order new manifolds now as the car had headers on it that I rejected when I bought the car SALVAGE from JD Corvette in paromount.
OK experts whats the verdict? make my day.

Re: 1967 Smog Pump

What is the engine suffix? If it's JA, then it should have A.I.R.

Re: 1967 Smog Pump

Robert,
It's a CE engine thats in the car. I was hoping that the 435 hp was exempt as one of the previouse post implied.

Re: 1967 Smog Pump

I think the previous posts were referring to the 1966 427/425 L-72s. So the 67's had no exceptions for California cars. What I don't know is what would happen with a car brought into the state by a California dealer who would purchase new cars from out of state dealers.

The only POSSIBLE K-19 exception for 1967 Corvettes delivered to California was L-88. I don't know if they were required to have K-19, or not. Of course, there were only a total of 20 L-88's built for 1967 and I expect that not more than 3 or 4 were ever delivered new to California. 1967 L-71 was DEFINITELY required to have K-19 for California. I remember very well that, when new, every L-71 that I saw here in California had it (or evidence of it being removed).
