GENERAL
The Air Injection Reactor (A.I.R.) System (fig. 1) con-
sists of: the air injection pump (with necessary brackets
and drive attachments), air injection tubes (one for each
cylinder), a mixture control valve, check valves (one for
In Line engines, two for V8 engines) and air manifold as-
semblies, tubes and hoses necessary to connect the
various components.
Carburetors and distributors for engines with the
A.I.R. System are designed, particularly, for these en-
gines;
therefore, they should not be interchanged with or
replaced by a carburetor or distributor designed for an
engine without the A.I.R. System.
The air injection pump (fig. 2) picks up fresh filtered
air from the air cleaner, compresses the air and injects
it through the air manifolds, hoses and injection tubes
into the exhaust system in the area of the exhaust valves.
The fresh air ignites and burns the unburned portion of
the exhaust gases in the exhaust system, thus minimizing
exhaust contamination.
The mixture control valve (fig. 3) when triggered by a
sharp increase in manifold vacuum, supplies the intake
manifold with fresh filtered air to lean out the fuel-air
DESCRIPTION
mixture and prevent exhaust system backfire.
The check valve(s) prevent exhaust gases from entering
and damaging the air injection pump, as back flow can
occur even under normal operating conditions.
When properly installed and maintained, the A.I.R.
System will keep exhaust emissions well below require-
ments. However, if any A.I.R. component or any engine
component that operates in conjunction with the A.I.R.
system should malfunction, the exhaust emissions might
be increased.
Because of the relationship between "Engine Tune
Up"
and "Unburned Exhaust Gases", the condition of
Engine Tune Up should be checked whenever the A.I.R.
System seems to be malfunctioning. Particular care
should be taken in checking items that affect fuel - air
ratio such as the crankcase ventilation system, the
carburetor and the carburetor air cleaner.
Because of the similarity of many parts, typical illus-
trations and procedures are used except where specific
illustrations or procedures are necessary to clarify the
operation. For Repair Procedures on the Air Injection
Pump,
refer to the Passenger Chassis Overhaul Manual.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
All models
use a 20
gallon capacity (approx.) fuel tank
mounted between
the
frame rails behind
the
rear axle.
The fuel tanks
are
basically
the
same
for
sedan, 2-seat
station wagon
and
pickup models except
for
filler neck
location
and
venting
(fig. 8).
All fuel tanks
are
vented
to the
atmosphere. Sedan
model tanks have
an
external vent hose and pipe assem-
bly
(fig. 11) and use a
non-vented fuel cap. Station wagon
and pickup model tanks
are
vented through
a
hose
and
vent pipe assembly
to the
filler neck
(fig. 8)
and
use a
vented, anti-surge type
gas cap. The
fuel caps
are two
different designs conforming
to SAE
standards
and are
not interchangeable.
The filler neck assembly
on
sedan models
is a
rear
fill design located behind
the
center
bar of the
bumper.
Station wagon
and
sedan pickup model filler neck assem-
blies
are
located
in
the left rear quarter panel.
The fuel pickup pipe
is
built integrally with
the
tank
gauge, located
at the
top-front center
of
the tank.
A
fine
mesh screen
is
located
at
the bottom-end
of the
fuel pick-
up pipe
to
prevent
the
entrance
of
foreign material into
the fuel system.
The sedan fuel tanks
are
held
in
place
by
two metal
straps attached individually
to the
underbody
at
each
end.
The straps hinge
at the
forward end and secure
the
tank
at
the
rear with
an
adjustable bolt
and nut
assembly.
The station wagon
and
pickup models have
a
frame
mounted fuel tank secured with straps
to
front and rear
supports.

or
dents.
If
evidence
of
dirt
is
found
in the
carburetor
or
fuel pump
on
disassembly,
the
lines should
be disconnected

underneath
the
vehicle
to the
front
of the gas
tank.
IMPORTANT:
It is
important
to
note that
the
gas tank
is not
vented

therefore,
it
is necessary
to be
assured that
the
vent line
is
free from dirt,
etc., and
that
the gas
tank vent
line
is
open
at all
times.
