EVALUATION OF THE EDELBROCK CORPORATION‘S PERFORMER 600 SERIES EMISSION CARBURETOR, PART NO. 1400 FOR EXEMPTION FROM THE PROHIBITIONS OF VEHICLE CODE SECTION 27156 IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 2222, TITLE 13, OF THE CALIFORNIA CODE .OF REGULATIONS 1. INTRODUCTION The Edelbrock Corporation of 2700 California St., Torrance, California 90503—2936, applied for an exemption from the prohibitions of Vehicle Code Section— 27156 for their Performer 600 Series Emission Carburetor, part no. 1400. The Perfqrmer 600 Series Emission Carburetor, part no. 1400 is designed to be a direct replacefient carburetor for installation on 1980 and older non—feedback General Motors vehicles powered by a VB_gasoline engine. The Edelbrock Cérporation has submitted a completed application and all the required information, as well eé exhaust emissions test data performed‘at the Edelbrock Emissions Laboratgry on a 1979 5.7L Chevrolet El Camino. II. CONCLUSION Based on the submitted information and the results from exhaust emission tests performed at the Edelbrock Emissions Laboratory, the staff concludes that the Edelbrock Corporation‘s Performer 600 Series Emission Carburetor, part no. 1400 will not ad&grsely afféct exhaust emissions from vehicles for which the exemptién is requested. III. RECOMMENDATION The staff recommends that the Edelbrock Corporation be grantedlan exemption as requested and that Executive Order D—215—10 be issued. IV. PERFORMER 600 SERIES EMISSION CARBURETOR DESCRIPTION ' The Performer 600 Series Emission Carburetor, part no. 1400, are specifically designed for installation on 1980 and §1der non—feedback General Motors vehicles powered by a V8B gasoline engine. The carburetors operaté in conjunction with the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) emission control system already certified with the stock engines. The —1—

purpose of using the Performer 600 Series Emission Carburetor, part no. 1400 is to offer a direct replacement new carburetor for 1980 and older GM V8 vehicles. The following are the specifications of the Performer 600 Series Emission Carbure;or, part no. 1460: electric choke, pr;maty bore 1.44", secondary bore 1,69", idle jet 0.031", primary main jet 0.098", secondary main jet 0.095", inlet seat 0.0955", pump jef 0.028", spark advance port 0.136" x 0.4", EGR port 0.1" x‘0.04", metering rod 0.075" x70.047", and step—up spring 5.0" orange. v. DISCUSSION OF THE PERFORMER 600 SERIES EMISSION CARBURETOR A 1979 Chevrolet El Camino powered by a 5.7L engine was used for the evaluation of the Performer 600 Series Emission Carburetor, part no. 1400. The dynamometer inertia Yeight and 16ading used during the testing were 4000 lbs. and 12.2 hp, respectively. The Edelbrock Corporation submitted emission test results conducted by the Edelbrock Emissions Laborato;y which consistea of one (cold start) CVS— 75 FTP on the vehicle_in the baseline configuration (Rochester Quadrajet installed) followed by one (cold start) CVS—75 FTP on the vehicle in the modified configuration (Performer 600 geries Emission Carburetor, part no. 1400 installed).. The test results are shown in Table 1. Table 1 CVs—75 TEST RESULTS (Edelbrock Emissions Laboratory) BC co Nox (grams/mile) Baseline 0.32 1.93 1.91 Modified Do o.2e a.31 i.5 Difference ~0.04 0.38 —0.41

The CVS—75 emissions téest results at the Edelbrock Emissions Laboratory show that the difference between the HC, CO and NOx emission levels of the device emission test result and the baseline emission test results are within the 10 percent or 0.1 g/mi increase allowed in HC and NOx, or 15 percent or 1.0 g/mi increase in CO as allowed under "The Procedures for Exemption of Add—On and Modified Parts". This demonstrates that the installation of the Performér 600 Series Emission Carburetor, part no. 1400 will—not adversely affect the exhaust emissiong of the appligablé vehicles. The Air éesources Board did not conduct confirmatory testing to validate the emission test results submitted by the Edelbrock Corporation. The Edelbgock Corporation‘has submitted all the required information and fulfilled the requirements for an exemption.
