Open you hood. Look on the bottom of the hood (now over your head) there is a white peice of paper there. If it talks about Federal emmisions thats what you have. If it is about cali thats what you got.

You can also check how many plugs there are hanging right after the radiator on the front valve cover. If you've only got 2 plugs there, you have Federal Emissions. If you have 4 plugs there, you have california Emissions.
