How would I know? I have the build sheet, didn't see anything on the build sheet showing/saying CA emissions...

Carb and Dist have been changed... And mine is a A/C car...

Carb looks like "92"

Those are the last 2 digits of the OE part number( need a parts book to indentify and I dont have mine handy )

And I ' don't think' there is a CA emissions carb application for 1969's . I think that is a 1970 and later thing.

But,

CA emissions will have N95 on the fender tag..
If no code,,,it's federal emissions car ( as shown )

I have a 69 parts book, and i looked things up, as I'm curious about this air cleaner thing.
Last month i helped out a repair shop owner, in figuring out if they are working on a California 69 Charger, or a Federal 69 Charger.
A 440 R/T car.
That's who i sold the unsilenced air cleaner to.

Anyway, my parts book shows the last two digit numbers 92 R4392A to be for the center carburetor for a 6 pack set up.
So that doesn't work out here.

Chrysler part number 2946592 shows that number for two different Carter 4 bbl carbretors.
4618S without AC
4640S with AC
Both are listed as automatic transmission carburetors.

Well, I'm confused, so that's my on this post.

I just did some more poking around in Galen Govier's "white book" and it shows the 92 for the 4640S Carter carburetor.
But as another poster responded, i guess we can't tell if that Carter was for all 50 states, and not just for California.
Well, at least you now know what carb, your car was born with.

This is only a guess.
But looking closely at your buildsheet. I am gonna guess it's a federal emissions car. I don't see any remnents of markings in the last box which is emissions pkg area. row 9 , section N .. all the way to the right ( edit - maybe thats fresh air box markings would be and not emissions pkg ????? )

Does the sheet show exhaust tips or not?
As I don't think tips were avail on CA cars

The Air cleaner difference has to do with the Calif NOISE REDUCTION Pkg Not the emissions pkg! I had a Cal. sold 69 440 Charger R/T that was 100% original. It had the dual snorkle air cleaner AND the turn down exhaust (NO CHROME TIPS)( the other part of the noise reduction pkg). If you want to know which Air cleaner you had just look for the "bright tips" code on the buildsheet OR look under the car for evidence of having them. All 69 R/T's came standard with the chrome tips except for the Cal. ones.

Bill's correct - "92" is the Broadcast Sheet code for 2946592, which is for 440/auto/AC cars like yours. FWIW, a 440/auto/non-AC would be coded for 2946581.

Bill's also correct that for 1969, there was no such thing as California Emissions. There was a Sales Code N97 denoting the "Noise Reduction Package", which was mandatory for all 383-4 and 440-4 A&B-body cars sold in California (I'll skip over C-bodies for now). Noise Reduction Package cars are the only such cars equipped with a dual-snorkel air cleaner, as the distributors & carbs did not change for California (yet) and having H51 Air Conditioning coded did not change the air cleaner housing. I'm not sure if N97 could be ordered on cars destined for sale outside California or not... the engineering charts list that sales code as an extra cost option so it's at least POSSIBLE, but it's not listed anywhere on the 1969 Confidential Price Bulletins (Charger, anyway).

If a car is coded for N97 Noise Reduction Package, a "7" will show up in the 36th character box from the left on Line 9 of the Broadcast Sheet... immediately to the LEFT of the box for N96 Carb Fresh Air Package (yes, it's counter-intuitive for this higher # to be listed before a lower #, but according to the edit dates on my paperwork, sales code N97 was created after the 1969 Broadcast Sheet form was established). I can't find anything which says N97 was to be stamped on the Fender Tag, but that's based on paperwork evidence and not real-world examples/patterns. Doug H. or Barry W. might be a better source for that info.

While I was digging through the pile of paperwork here, I searched for anything related to the meaning of N41 Dual Exhaust. Apparently, there is no passenger car application in 1969 which was "supposed" to use this code - including Chargers. There should not be any marks in that box even on a N97-coded car, at least according to what I've researched. Perhaps later years (or even trucks) did do something with that code?
