We lived by the same smog rules as the US. All the Canadian COPO Chevelles and Camaros had the smog pump.....Little white fan and all.

The simple rule to follow in 69 is a Holley and solid lifters, = smog pump...BKH

While I agree that the COPO Camaro's and Chevelles in 69 had air pumps, and I know the automatic vs 4 speed Camaros is always a discussion point. But, with some owners of the Chevelles, why is it that on the build sheet the air pump boxes are always left blank? Should there not be a code in this box if the car came with one. I have been asked this question many times and I really dont have the answer, except cars that are known to have air pumps since new, that there build sheets are blank as well. Any answers????

You gotta trust Lillard, living in California the Smog Capital of the world; he know's what he's talking about. If I lived in California I'd corner the market for all those little white smog fans too.

Yup, but the smog delete for Canada was only in 68. The question was about 69's. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/wink.gif[/img]
I'm not sure how that KD1 option was handled in 68 in Canada. I see L78's and Z's documented with and without it.
Unfortunately, KD1 is one of the few options that we don't have the production totals.
