Vin 6 versus Vin U Confusion....

[cosmic_splatter]

I'm confused when purchasing parts. Nearly all of them say Vin 6 or Vin U.

Here is my vin...
2CNBJ1869S6929xxx

Many parts mfg's say that Vin 6 is California version. But, in the VIN chart provided by fixkick it says Canadian is "6".

2CNBJ1369W6
2CN ,is canada, cami made
BJ is Tracker 4wd.
1 wieght class.
3 =utility code for GM
6 -= Gm code for 16v SOHC 1.6L engine.
9 = check digit ( useless)
w = year =-1998
6 = Ingersoll, Ontario Canada , aka CAMI.

So, is a Federal version Vin 6 or Vin U? I have a non california version, but I don't have a "U" in the Vin??

Please help! I just ordered a bunch of parts that were Vin 6, but now I'm concerned I may have screwed up since at least one mfg says vin 6 is California model. Yikes! This should be easier!!

thanks,
John

Here is the exact verbiage on one of the parts suppliers.
"w/ California Emission System (California Emission System Equipped Vehicles Engine Vin - 8th Character of Vin - will be '6')"
