I know these are not B bodies but I would think B&E cars would be the same for California.




That's the problem & source of confusion. You can't compare apples to oranges, in this case b-bodies to e-bodies or 1970 Coronets to 1968 Coronets or 440-4bbl to 440-6bbl.

On an e-body the SHAKER had nothing to do with N97 - "noise reduction".
