OPERATION: The Air Injection Reactor system,
(used on vehicles not equipped with
CCS) is de­
signed to reduce air pollution by oxidizing (burning)
the hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide after they
45
leave the combustion chamber. A positive displace­
ment air pump, driven by the engine, compresses
filtered air which
is injected at the exhaust port of
each cylinder. This air mixes with the exhaust gases
and promotes further oxidation of both hydro­
carbons and carbon monoxide. The
AIR system also
includes a specially calibrated carburetor and dis­
tributor.
MAINTENANCE: Complete effectiveness of this
system
is dependent on the engine idle speed,
ignition timing and
dwell being set according
to specifications as indicated on a label under
the hood. These adjustments should be
checked at the first oil change (4 months or
6,000 miles, whichever comes first). Subse­
quent checks should be made at 12 months or
12,000 mile intervals, whichever comes first.
These adjustments are
also included as part of
the
quality tune-up recommended at the same
intervals. In addition, all hoses and fittings
should be inspected to make sure they are
properly connected, and the drive belt in­
spected for wear
and tension on the 12 month
or
12,000 mile schedule.

The following chart will serve as
a guide for selecting the proper oil
viscosity. The
proper viscosity helps assure
good cold and hot starting by re­
ducing friction and thus increasing
cranking speed.

Engine Tune-Up, Emission
Control and Electrical
System Checks
Fuel and electrical systems are
subject to wear and contamination
and require periodic cleaning and
adjustments to maintain maximum economy
and performance. Proper
adjustment of carburetor idle
speed, engine timing and dwell, and
operation of the Positive Crankcase
Ventilation Valve
(PCV) are im­
portant to control hydrocarbon
and
CO emissions within govern-
54
ment legislated levels. These ad­
justments should be made at the
first oil change
(4 months or 6,000
miles, whichever occurs first). The
above fuel and electrical system
checks also are included in engine
tune-ups which are recommended
at one year or 12,000-mile inter­
vals.
Air Injection Reactor (A.I.R.)
The Air Injection Reactor sys­
tem should have the A.I.R. pump
drive belt inspected for wear and
tension every 12 months or
12,000
miles, whichever occurs first.
