Anti-iackfire
Diverter Valve

The
anti-backfire valve remains closed
except
when
the throttle is closed rapidly from an
open
position.

To
check the valve for proper operation, accelerate
the
engine
in neutral, allowing the throttle to
close

rapidly.
The valve is operating satisfactorily when
no exhaust system backfire occurs. A further check
to determine whether the valve is functioning can be made by removing from the anti-backfire valve
the large
hose
Which
connects to the check valve.
Accelerate the
engine
to allow the throttle to
close

rapidly.
The valve is operating satisfactorily if a
momentary interruption of rushing air is audible.

Fl-16.
Check Valve

The
check valve prevents the reverse flow of ex­
haust
gases
to the pump in the
event
the pump
should, for any reason,
become
inoperative or should exhaust pressure ever
exceed
pump pressure.

To
check this valve for proper operation, remove the air supply
hose
from the pump at the
distri­

bution manifold.
With
the
engine
running, listen for exhaust leakage at the check valve which is
connected to the distribution manifold.

Fl-17.
Air
Pump

Check
for proper drive belt tension with belt tension
gauge
W-283. The belt strand tension should be

50-60
pounds on a belt with previous service, meas­

ured
on the
longest
accessible span
between
two pulleys. When installing a new belt, adjust the
tension to
60-80
pounds tension. DO NOT PRY
ON
THE DIE
CAST
PUMP
HOUSING.

To
check the pump for proper operation, remove the air
outlet
hose
at the pump.
With
the
engine

running,
air discharge should be
felt
at the pump

outlet
opening. The pump
outlet
air pressure, as determined by the relief valve, is preset and is not
adjustable.

The
air pump
rear
cover assembly, housing the pressed in inlet and discharge tubes, and the pres­
sure relief valve are the only pump
components

recommended for service replacement. These parts
are
to be replaced only when damaged as a result
of handling or in the
event
the relief valve was
tampered with.

Fl-18.
Carburetor
Air
Cleaner

Every
6000
miles
[9,600
km.] clean the inside
sur­

face at the sump and
refill
to indicated oil level with
SAE
40 or 50
engine
oil
above
32 F; SAE 20

below
32 F. Wash filter
element
in kerosene and

drain.
Reassemble the air cleaner.

More
frequent cleaning and replacement is advis­ able when the car is operated in dusty areas or on
unpaved roads. Accumulated dirt restricts air flow,
reducing fuel
economy
and performance.

Fl-19.
REMOVAL
PROCEDURES

The
following paragraphs
give
the procedures for removing the major units of the Exhaust Emission

Control
System and the required equipment
needed.

Fl-20.
Air
Pump

Loosen
the air pump adjusting strap to facilitate

drive
belt removal. Remove the air pump air dis­
charge hose(s) and air filter attachment. Separate
the air pump from its mounting bracket. At time of installation, torque tighten the air pump mount­ing
bolts
to
30-40
lbs-ft. [4,15 a 5,53 kg-m.]. Adjust
the belt strand tension to
50-60
pounds on a belt
with previous service and
60-80
pounds on a new
belt.

Fl-21.
Anti-Backfire
Diverter Valve

The
anti-backfire diverter valve removal requires disconnecting the
hoses
and bracket to
engine
at­
taching screws.

Fl-22.
Air
Distribution
Manifold
and
Injection Tubes

In
order to remove the air distribution manifold
without bending the tubing, which could result in
fractures
or leakage, it is necessary to remove the
exhaust manifold as an assembly from the
engine.

After
the exhaust manifold assembly is removed
from
the
engine,
place the manifold in a vise and

loosen
the air distribution manifold
tube
retaining nuts at each cylinder exhaust port. Tap the injec­
tion
tubes
lightly to allow the air distribution mani­
fold to be pulled away partially from the exhaust manifold. The stainless steel injection
tubes
in the
exhaust manifold may have
become
partially fused
to the air distribution manifold and, therefore, may
require
application of heat to the joint in order to
separate. While applying heat to the joint, rotate
the injection
tubes
with pliers being careful not to
damage the
tubes
by applying excessive force.

At
time of installation, the air injection
tubes
must
be positioned into the exhaust manifold prior to
placing the exhaust manifold assembly on the en­ gine.

Note:
Two different length injection
tubes
are used.

The
shorter length injection
tubes
must be inserted into cylinders 1 and 4. 145

Fl

EXHAUST
EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS The
air distribution manifold should be installed
after the exhaust manifold assembly is torqued
to the cylinder head. The recommended procedure
for exhaust manifold assembly installation is as follows:
Clean
the mating surface of both the
manifold and cylinder head.
Install
the exhaust manifold to the cylinder head using a new gasket.

Tighten
the manifold to cylinder head, attaching
bolts
down evenly.
Finish
torque tightening to 29
to 35 ft. lbs. [3,4 a 4,8 kg-m.].

GENERAL
—V-6
Engine

The
Dauntless V-6
engine
Exhaust
Emission
Con­

trol
System consists of a belt-driven air pump

which
directs compressed air through connecting
hoses
to a steel distribution manifold into stainless steel injection
tubes
in the exhaust port adjacent
to each exhaust valve.
This
air, with its normal
oxygen
content, reacts with the hot but incom­
pletely burned exhaust
gases
and permits further combustion in the exhaust port or manifold.

The
Exhaust
Emission System on V6-225
engines

limits
the hydrocarbon and carbonmonoxide emis­sions from the exhaust system. The system includes

an
engine
designed for low emissions and lean
carburetor
calibration at idle and part throttle.

The
lean carburetion is possible because of the
heated air system that is part of the Emission
System.
See Fig. F2-2.
With
the heated air system
operating, inlet air temperature is around
115°F.
[46°C],
after the first few minutes of operation.

This
makes the use of lean (hot weather)
cali­
bration
possible, and the vehicle
still
responds and

drives
well in cold weather.

The
engine
has a "ported"
spark
advance, with the

vacuum
take-off just above the throttle valve, so that there is no vacuum advance at closed throttle,
but there is vacuum advance as
soon
as the throttle is opened slightly. To reduce emissions at idle and
at lower
engine
speeds, the
engine
timing is such
that the distributor
will
not have centrifugal ad­
vance until about 900 RPM.

pipe, a adapter elbow and an air cleaner contain­ing temperature control doors operated by vacuum
through a temperature sensor. The heat
stove
is a
sheet
metal cover, shaped to and bolted on with
the right exhaust manifold. Air drawn in along the lower
edge
of the
stove
passes across the mani­
fold surface, picking-up heat. The heated air is
drawn
out from the front of the manifold, through
the heated air pipe and adapter elbow into the
snorkel
of the air cleaner.

The
temperature control air cleaner is designed to mix this heated air with cold air from under the
hood so that carburetor inlet air temperature aver­
ages
about
115°F.
[46°C.].
This
mixing is
done
by two air doors, a cold air door and a hot air door,

which
move
together
so that when the cold air door is closed, the hot air door is open and vice
versa.
Most of the time, both doors
will
be partially
open as required to control the temperature. When
the underhood temperature reaches about 135
°F
[57°C]
the cold air door
will
open wide and the
hot air door
will
close
tight See Fig. F2-3. Ob­ viously, if underhood temperatures rise above
135°F.
[57°C]
the air cleaner
will
no longer be
able to control temperatures and the inlet air tem­

perature
will
rise with underhood temperature.
The
temperature doors are moved by a diaphragm
type vacuum door. When there is no vacuum pres­ ent in the motor, the diaphragm spring forces the
cold air door open and the hot air door closed.

Whenever
the
engine
is running, the amount of
vacuum
present in the vacuum motor depends on
the temperature sensor in the air cleaner which is located in the vacuum line
between
the intake
manifold and the vacuum motor. In the sensor, a 149

EXHAUST
EMISSION
CONTROL
SYSTEMS

bi-metal temperature sensing spring starts to open

a
valve to bleed more air into the vacuum line
whenever the temperature in the air cleaner rises
above about
115°F.
[46°C.].
Whenever the tem­

perature
falls below about
115°F.
[46°C]
the sensing spring starts to
close
the air bleed into the

vacuum
line, allowing more manifold vacuum to

reach
the vacuum motor. Whenever there is 9 inches [22,8 cm.] or more of vacuum in the vacuum
motor, the diaphragm spring is compressed, the cold air door is closed and the hot air door is
opened.

When
the
engine
is not running, the diaphragm
spring
will
always hold the cold air door open and
the hot air door closed. However, when the
engine

is running, the position of the doors depends on the

air
temperature in the air cleaner.
When
starting a cold
engine
(air cleaner tempera­
ture under 95° F. [35°
C.]),
the cold air door
will
close
and the hot air door
will
open immediately. See Fig. F2-4.
This
is because the air bleed valve

in
the sensor is closed so that
full
manifold vacuum
is applied in the vacuum motor. The cold air door

will
remain tightly closed only a few minutes, how­
ever. As
soon
as the air cleaner starts receiving
hot air from the heat
stove,
the sensor
will
cause the cold air door to open partially, mixing cold air

with
the hot air as necessary to regulate air cleaner temperature within 20° of the ideal
115°F.
[46°C]

air
inlet temperature. See Fig. F2-5.
If
underhood air temperature rises to 135° F.
[57°
C] the air to the vacuum bleed valve in the
sensor
will
be wide open so that vacuum motor approaches zero. The diaphragm spring in the vac­
uum
motor
will
hold the cold air door wide open

and
close
the hot air door tightly. If underhood
temperature rises above 135° F. [57° C]
car­
buretor inlet air temperature
will
also rise above
135°
F. [57° C.].

MAINTENANCE

Efficient
performance of the
Exhaust
Emission
System is
dependent
on precise maintenance. In
addition to the heated air system, air pump, con­ necting
hoses
and tubes, it is essential that the

carburetor
and ignition distributor be properly ad­
justed to specifications listed at the end of this section.

Road
test
is a factory-recommended optional serv­
ice every
6,000
miles
[9,600
km.] to evaluate
overall
performance.

The
following procedure is recommended to assist

in
diagnosing performance and/or emission level problems that are peculiar to Controlled Combus­
tion Equipped vehicles.

F2-4.
Testing Thermo
Air
Cleaner Operation
Since
failure of the air cleaner
will
generally result

in
the snorkel cold air door staying open, failure
will
probably go unnoticed in warm or hot weather.
In
cold weather, however, owners
will
complain of
leanness, hesitation, sag, surge or stalling. When any
type
of lean operation complaint is received, always

test
the heated air system for proper functioning
before
doing any work on the carburetor.

Note:
Always perform checks in the same order
as listed
below.

a
general check
as
follows:
1.
Check

for
proper hook-up.
Check
for kinked, plugged
or
damaged
hoses.

2. With

is
wide open.

3.
With
engine
running, check operation
of
vac­
uum
motor by connecting
a
test
hose
directly

from
intake manifold
to
vacuum motor.
Cold

air
door should close.
If
door fails
to
close, determine
if
motor linkage
is
properly con­
nected
to
door or
if a
bind
is
present;
if
link­
age
is
satisfactory, then vacuum motor must
be replaced.

Give
the
system
a
quick operational check
as

follows: 1. Start
test
with
engines
cold, air cleaner
at a

temperature below 85°
F.
[29.4°
C.].
If the

engine
has been in recent use, allow
it to
cool.
2. Observe
the
cold air door before starting
the
engine;
it
should
be
wide open.

3.
Start
the
engine
and
allow
it to
idle.
Im­
mediately after starting
the
engine,
the
cold
air
door should close.
4.
As the
engine
warms
up, the
cold
air
door should start
to
open
and the air
cleaner should
become
warm
to the
hand.
5.
The
system
is
operating normally
as de­
scribed
above.
If the air
cleaner fails
to

operate
as
above
or if
correct operation
of

the
air
cleaner
is
still
in
doubt, proceed
to

the thermometer check. 152
