 device will not recommend tuning the vehicle to specifications different from
 those submitted by the device manufacturer.

 Changes made to the design or operating conditions of the device, as exempted
 by the Air Resources Board, that adversely affect the performance of a
 vehicle‘s polliution control system shall invalidate this Executive Order.

 Marketing of this device using an identification other than that shown in this
.Executive Order or marketing of this device for an application other than
 those lTisted in this Executive Order shall be prohibited unless prior approval
 is obtained from the Air Resources Board.        Exemption of a kit shall not be
 construed as an exemption to sell, offer for sale or advertise any component
 of a kit as an individual device.

 This Executive Order does not constitute any opinion as to the effect that the
 use of this device may have on any warranty either expressed or implied by
 the vehicle manufacturer.

 THIS EXECUTIVE ORDER DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A CERTIFICATION, ACCREDITATION,
 APPROVAL, OR ANY OTHER TYPE OF ENDORSEMENT BY THE AIR RESOURCES BOARD OF ANY

                         Evaluation of Cummins West, Inc.,
                         Engine Modifications in Accordance
                         With Section 2222, Title 13 of the
                           California Administrative Code


I.    INTRODUCTION

      Cummins West, Incorporated, of San Francisco, California, and Cummins

Service and Sales, Inc., of Los Angeles, California, are independent

corporations franchised by Cummins Engine Company, Incorporated, to provide

aftermarket engines, parts, and service for users of diesel Cummins engines in

California.   Cummins West, Inc., acting in behalf of both companies, has

applied for an exemption from the prohibitions of Vehicle Code Section 27156

for an uncertified engine configuration.     These Cummins franchises propose to

upgrade older certified engines to the hybrid specification which utilizes

some components of more recent engines.     The purpose of this modification is

to improve fuel economy.

11.   DEVICE DESCRIPTION

      The applicant proposes two different parts packages to be used in

rebuilding certain 1973 through 1978 Cummins 855 CID engines.      One will

produce 300 HP, the other 350.     These packages will replace nine existing

engine configurations.     Tables I and II list these parts.   TableIII contains

the injector timing specifications.


      The fuel injection rate is controlled by the output pressure of the

injection pump.     This pressure is a complex function of engine speed and power

demand.    The power curve of the engine is defined by the pump calibration.

Cummins Engine Company has thousands of these calibrations.     The count of the

calibrations applicable to CPL 021 and 024, respectively, is 37 and 8.

Cummins West has submitted two additional calibrations which are not in the

Cummins list.     The 350 HP calibration is very similar to the 3077 calibration

of the CPL 024 engine which meets 1975—76 standards.     The 300 HP calibration

does not appear to closely match any published calibration.     It is simtlar,

however, to a 1974 calibration from CPL 174.

III. DEVICE EVALUATION

      On October 29 contact was made with Mr. Robert Ryan of the Cummins

Engine Company‘s Engine Certification Laboratory in Columbus, Indiana.      He is

of the opinion that these modifications will have no adverse effect upon

emissions.    He also stated that Cummins West had submitted a modified engine

to the evaluation.     Emissions testing of the engine was to be conducted in

about three weeks from that date.

      Although it is probable that the selected components will assemble into

an engine which meets the 1977—78 California emissions standards, it is felt,

that without supporting test data, the staff can only predict with reasonable

certainty that the 1974 California and 1978 federal standards will be met.

IV.   RECOMMENDATION

      The staff finds that the Cummins West modification to Cummins 855 CID

Cummins diesel engines will not result in increased emissions from engines

designed to meet the 1974 and earlier California or 1978 and earlier federal

emissions standards.     It is, therefore, recommended that E.0. D—120 be

granted.
