GENERAL DESCRIPTION

A pneumatic level control system that automatically

maintains correct rear trim height of a car under varying

load conditions, the optional automatic level control is

used only in conjunction with the Superlift Shock Absorber

option.

The Superlift Shock Absorber option alone, consists of

the two shock absorbers with pressure lines to a "Tee"

where a ill valve is located, the shocks are inflated

with (or deflated of) compressed air (at any gas station)

to obtain the vehicle level desired with any given load

change.

The automatic leveling system is added to the Superlift

Shock Absorbers and supplies its own compressed air.

The system (fig. 13) consists of a vacuum operated air

compressor with pressure regulator,
and
integral storage

tank, vacuum line to engine, air intake filter, air lines,

and a height control valve.

The COMPRESSOR is a two-stage, vacuum actuated

type, requiring no lubrication. Vacuum supply is taken

from engine carburetor base. High pressure air is
supplied to the reservoir tank by the second stage of

the two-stage compressor. The first stage intake stroke

draws air at atmospheric pressure through a oneway

check valve located in the end of the first stage housing

under the first ^tagei housing cover. On the first stage

compression stroke, the intake valve is closed and the

oneway check valve in the second stage end of the piston

is opened. This allows the air from the first stage

cylinder to flow through the hollow piston into the second

stage cylinder for jhigh pressure compression. The

second stage compression stroke closes the check valve

in the piston and opeijis the check valve in the end of the

second stage housing.

The intake and compression strokes are controlled by a

sliding distributor valive that is actuated through an arm

that is tripped by the piston as it nears the end of each

stroke. Each time the arm actuates the distributor

valve, a different set of holes are covered in the first

stage housing. The distributor valve controls the flow of

intake manifold vacuum and air under atmospheric pres-

Tire inflation pressures may increase as much as

six (6) pounds per square inch (PSI) when hot

2.
For continuous high speed operation (over 75 MPH)

increase tire inflation pressures four (4) pounds per

square inch .over the recommended pressures up to

a maximum of 32 pounds per square inch cool for

4-ply rating tires or 40 pounds per square inch for

8-ply rating tires. Sustained speeds above 75 MPH

are not recommended when the 4 pounds per square

inch adjustment would require pressures greater

than the maximums stated above.

3.
Cool tire inflation pressure? after vehicle has been

inoperative for three (3) hours or more, or driven

less than one (1) mile.
Hot tire inflation pressure: after vehicle has been

driven ten (10) miles or more at 60-70 MPH.

4.
Station Wagon loads should be distributed as far

forward as possible.

5. Vehicles with luggage racks do not have a load

limit greater than the l,000# loads (l,200# for

Station Wagons) specified in the Tire Inflation

Pressure Table.

6. When towing trailers, the allowable passenger and

cargo load must be reduced by an amount equal to

the trailer tongue load on the trailer hitch.

FUSES AND CIRCUIT BREAKER

A circuit breaker in the light control switch protects

the headlamp circuit, thus eliminating one fuse. A

separate circuit breaker protects the power window,

seat and top circuits. On Corvettes the headlamp motor
circuit is also protected by a separate circuit breaker.

Where current load is too heavy, the circuit breaker

rapidly opens and closes, protecting the circuit until

the cause is found and eliminated.
