Not being next to the car you make me wonder if it is an 86 and if the engine is correct, but yeah, I'm 99.9% sure its an 86 and the engine is stock. I have looked at the door jam and I think the build date was late 85. I would have to check all that again. But with everything I have done on it I have not run into anything that made me think something was not correct or stock.
In the 85-87 productions dates there are a few different versions, some with an O2 sensor and some without. I ran into a couple this past weekend that did not have an O2 sensor. They did all have a cat though.
I read something about Honda basically disabling the lean burn feature in the federal version that went to CA. This enabled it to pass CA emissions (high NOX). So it should be able to pass... I hope. I have not looked into a waiver yet. If I go that route I will have to take it to a shop to get "official" paperwork stating that it cannot be fixed.
