that is a rip off. they shouldn't charge to look up carb numbers. then again, they can make up those fees if they choose too.

They can charge you as much as they want as long as you agree to it. Go somewhere else...

If you don't have carb numbers why should they spend their time for free?

No, you are responsible for having the CARB EO# either permanently affixed to the modified part or a Mylar sticker with the CARB EO# either next to the factory emission label or driver side door pillar.
Does it suck, yes. Is it the shops responsibility to look up numbers on your modified parts? No. Modified emission component without a proper EO# is sufficient enough to get sent to state referee. Don't agree, but it's the law for now.

I'll put this way dude looked over the fact I had a couple of grey area parts on my whip after thinking it over I am glad it done and finished after all I have a HCI car I daily drive. Eddelbrock does not provide carb#s and I also had a number of parts without carb #s. When I first posted this I didn't think about how many parts I had that were not smog legit so it's a wash and they replaced my evap return line that had a crack in it and egr hose also
