I have a 78 Wagon. It originally came with the 2 speed hondamatic and I think the other option was a 4 Speed manual. The Chassis code is WB.

I will look up the other years and post them here for you.

1975 Wagon
Chassis Code:
WB-A = 4 Speed Manual
(the HondaMatic was not available on the 1975 Wagon)

Engine Code = ED-2

* * * * *

1976-1979 Wagon
Chassis Code:
WB-A = 4 Speed Manual
WB-B = 2 Speed HondaMatic

Engine Code = ED-4

* * * * *

Hope this helps.
I can get you the info for the 2nd gen Wagons if you still need it.

I forgot to mention above that the ED-2 & ED-4 engines were sold in the US. Not sure what the engine codes are for other areas of the planet.

Also, I believe only the US had the CVCC. Other countries had the 1500's without the CVCC head.

Ahhh, I love this site. So much knowledge.

We had CVCC over here so i can confirm thats not true.

Sorry for any mis-information regarding the First Generation CVCC outside the US. Please note that I only have access to the US Honda Service Bulletins & Service info. I said that I believed that the CVCC (1975-1979) was only available in the US. This information is based on discussions from the 1stgencivic.org site.
PLEASE READ....

There are other threads also indicating the 1975-1979 CVCC was only available in the US.
Many believe that they have a first gen CVCC simply because they have a 1500 when in fact they have a non-CVCC 1500.

Again I appoligize - Now I know that the 1975-1979 CVCC's were available in NZ.

LOL no need to apologise like that!

Those guys may be interested to know theres a few more than just three of them around.

There used to be a 1st/2nd gen wagon in Birkenhead, Auckland with CVCC on the boot, i've also seen a few more randomly driving around, however that doesan't mean they are not rare!

If i had the time and money i would fully restore a 1st gen cause i think they rock.
