Hello, I need to replace the carb in my 85 accord lx hatchback. I'm having a hard time figuring out if I need a CA legal carb or does it not matter because it's so old? Any suggestions on which one to get? I can't get the Weber conversion one, can I?
Thank you!

 

doesn't matter as long as all the vacuum lines/routing are correct...the dumb azz smog techs aren't going to pull the air cleaner cover to see if it's right...not that they would know anyway...or not. take comfort in knowing it will probably fail regardless of carburetor choice...you have a HEP (high emitter profile) vehicle and the state would love nothing more than to see it crushed...my .02

 

They have no "love" for the old ones .

I bet the '85 Accord gets better mpg than most of the Accords we have.....sad.

 

no production car ever made (just about, in this country anyway) got better mpg then the CRX at over 50 mpg's....why are the manufacturers having such are hard time when honda did it in the 80's??? BIG faaqing OIL...yeah i'm a conspiracy theorist, sue me

 

I just bought this one:

1984-1985 Honda Accord Remanufactured Carburetor | eBay

I'm not worried about it passing smog. It just barely didn't pass this time and the carb has been going out for awhile. I bought the car from a friend who has had it for a few years and it passed for him...he bought it from another friend who had it for years and it always passed for him too.

 

good deal, check and replace vacuum lines as needed as well...save you a bunch of headaches down the line.
