For the IPD weber kit, if it has a "California Air Resources
Board" certification, then they have done this in order to get the
certification which says that it produces a small volume of emissions.

Not so. IPD has no idea what's in your motor, whether it's a B18 or B20, what altitude you live at, what your exhaust system is like, or anything else that impacts carb tuning.

CARB certifies the DGEV as the "universal replacement" carburetor for anything that has dual carbs, just a the Chevy 350 is the "universal replacement" motor that can be put in a Jaguar or any other car without excessive paperwork -- *as long as* it passes smog testing. Other conversions take special approval, even if they pass smog no problem.

Tuning and passing smog is still up to the owner. The carbs ship with the default jets as supplied by Weber, which are not always what Weber says they oughta be either.
