If prescribed vacuum cannot be reached, close
vacuum control valve, shut off pump and look
for a leak at connections or pump.
3. When gauge reaches prescribed vacuum, the
system is fully evacuated. Close the high-side
gauge set valve and turn off the vacuum pump.
4. Watch low-side gauge to be sure vacuum holds
for five (5) minutes. If vacuum is held, discon-
nect vacuum hose at gauge set and then proceed
to charging.
5. If vacuum does not hold for five (5) minutes,
charge system with
420ml(1/2 pound) Refriger-
ant-12 and leak check. Discharge system again
and repair leak as necessary. Repeat evacuation
procedure.
To Begin Charging of the NC System
1. Start engine and set A/C mode control button on
"OFF. "
2. With the Refrigerant-12 drum or 420ml (14
ounce)
can(s) inverted, open R-12 source
valve(s) and allow 480ml (1 pound) or one
420m1 (14 02.) can of liquid R-12 to flow into
system through low-side service fitting.
3. As soon as 480ml (1 lb.) or one 420ml (14 oz.)
can of R-12 has been added to system, immedi-
ately engage the compressor by setting the
A/C
control button to NORM and blower speed on
HI, to draw in the remainder of the R-12 charge.
See specifications for total R-12 charge. The
charging operation can be sped up by using
a large volume fan to pass air over the con-
denser. If condenser temperature is maintained
below charging cylinder temperature,
Refriger-
ant-12 will enter the system more rapidly.
4. Turn off
R-12 source valve and run engine for
30 seconds to clear lines and gauges.
5. With the engine running, remove the charging
low-side hose adapter from the accumulator ser-
vice fitting. Unscrew rapidly to avoid excess
R-12 escape from system.
CAUTION: NEVER REMOVE A GAGE

IS CONNECTED TO A/G SYSTEM.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
STEERING COLUMN
The function locking energy absorbing steering
column includes three important features in addition
to the steering function:
1. 'The column is energy absorbing, designed to
compress in a front-end collision to minimize the
possibility of an injury to the driver of the car.
2. The ignition switch and lock are mounted
conveniently on this column.
3. With the column mounted lock, the ignition and
steering operations can be locked to inhibit theft
of the car.
The turn signal lever provides for control of
headlight beams, windshield washer and wipers.
The column may be easily

to ZERO. Repeat rock action of gage shaft to
verify the ZERO setting.
6. After the ZERO setting is obtained, rotate arbor
until the plunger rod does not touch the gage
block.
7. Record dial reading at pointer position.
EXAMPLE: If pointer moved counterclockwise
.067" to a dial reading of .033", this indicates a
shim thickness of
,033 " .
8. Select correct pinion shim to be used during

a thickness equal to gage reading, minus the
amount specified on pinion.
b. If production pinion is marked
"-" (minus),
correct shim will have
a thickness equal to
gage reading, plus the amount specified on
pinion.
c. If using production or service pinion which
has no marking, the correct shim will have
a thickness equal to the gage reading.

ENGINE COOLING BB-7
NOTICE: If recommended quality antifreeze is
used, supplemental inhibitors or additives claiming
to provide increased cooling capability are not
necessary. They may be detrimental to the efficient
operation of the system, and represent an
unnecessary operating expense.
Every 12 months or 15,000 miles, the cooling
system should be serviced as follows;
1. Wash radiator cap and filler neck with clean
water.
2. Check coolant for proper level and freeze
protection.
3. Pressure test system and radiator cap for proper
pressure holding capacity, 103
kPa (15 psi). If
replacement of cap is required, use the proper cap
specified for car model.
4. Tighten hose clamps and inspect all hoses. Replace
hoses whenever cracked, swollen or otherwise
deteriorated.
5. Clean frontal area of radiator core and air
conditioning condenser.
DRAINING AND REFILLING THE COOLING
SYSTEM
Replace hoses every 24 months or 30,000 miles or
earlier if cracked, swollen or otherwise deteriorated.
Every two years or 30,000 miles, whichever first
occurs, the cooling system should be flushed and
refilled using the following recommended procedure:
1. Remove radiator cap, or thermostat housing cap
(VIN
0, J, R and U), when engine is cool by:
a. Slowly
rotating cap counterclockwise to
detent. (Do not press down while rotating.)
b. Wait until any
residual pressure (indicated
by a hissing sound) is relieved.
c. After all hissing ceases, press down on cap
while continuing to rotate
counterclockwise.
CAUTION: To avoid the danger of
being burned, do not remove radiator
cap while engine and radiator are still
hot. Scalding fluid and steam may be
blown out under pressure.
2. Remove the thermostat by using the wire handle
to lift it out of the housing (VIN
0, J, R and U).
3. With the thermostat removed, reinstall the
thermostat housing cap (VIN
0, J, R and U).
4. Open radiator drain valve and block drain plugs
to drain coolant. On VIN R and
9 (P series)
engines, open coolant pipe plugs.
5. Close valve. Reinstall drain plugs, and add
sufficient water to fill system.
6. Run engine, drain and refill the system, as
described in steps
4 and 5 a sufficient number of
times, until the drained liquid is nearly colorless.
Important
BLOCK DRIVE WHEELS, place
transmission in PARK (automatic
transmission) or NEUTRAL (manual
transmission) and set the parking brake. 7.
Allow system to drain completely. Then close
radiator drain valve tightly, and reinstall block
drain plugs.
8. Remove recovery cap leaving hoses in place.
Remove coolant recovery tank and empty of
fluid. Flush tank with clean water, drain and
reinstall.
9. Add sufficient ethylene glycol coolant, meeting
GM specification 1825-M, to provide the
required freezing and corrosion protection
- at
least 50 percent solution -37°C (-34°F). Fill
radiator to the base of the radiator fill neck and
add sufficient coolant to the recovery tank to
raise level to the "FULL" mark. Reinstall
recovery tank cap.
10. Run engine, with radiator cap or thermostat
housing cap removed, until normal operating
temperature is reached. (Radiator upper hose
becomes hot.)
11. With engine idling, add coolant until level
reaches bottom of filler neck and reinstall cap,
making certain arrows line up with overflow tube.
CAUTION: Under some conditions, the
ethylene glycol in engine coolant is
flammable. To help avoid being
burned when adding coolant, DO NOT
spill
it on the exhaust system or hat
engine parts.
It is the owner's responsibility to keep the freeze
protection at a level appropriate to the
temperatures which may occur in the area of
vehicle operation.
a. Maintain
cooling system freeze protection
at
-37°C (-34"F), to ensure protection
against corrosion and loss of coolant from
boiling, even though freezing temperatures
are not expected.
b. Add ethylene glycol base coolant that meets
GM Specification 1825-M, when coolant
additions are required because of coolant
loss, or to provide additional protection
against
freezing at temperatures lower than
-37°C (-34°F).
NOTICE: Alcohol or methanol base coolants, or
plain water, are not recommended at any time.
DRlVE BELT
NOTICE: Routine inspection of the belt may
reveal cracks in the belt ribs. These cracks will
not impair belt performance and therefore should
not be considered a problem requiring belt
replacement. However, the belt should be
replaced if belt slip occurs or if sections of the
belt ribs are missing.
A single (serpentine) belt is used to drive all
engine accessories formerly driven by multiple drive
belts. All belt driven accessories are ridgedly mounted
with belt tension maintained by a spring loaded
tensioner.
The drive belt tensioner has the ability to control
belt tension over a fairly broad range of belt lengths.

6. Note position of rotor, then pull distributor up
until rotor just stops turning counterclockwise
and again note position of rotor.
To insure correct timing of the distributor,
the distributor must be INSTALLED with
the rotor correctly positioned as noted.
If the engine was accidentally cranked after the
distributor was removed, the following procedure can
be used for installing:
1. Remove No. 1 spark plug.
2. Place finger over No. 1 spark plug hole and crank
engine slowly until compression is felt.
3. Align timing mark on pulley to "0" on engine
timing indicator.
4. Turn rotor to point between No. 1 and No. 8
