IV. Conclustons and Recommendations It is the staff‘s opinion that the Western—Select, Inc., "Sentry" electronic ignition system will not adversely effect the performance of the motor vehicle exhaust emission control system when evaluated with respect to the exhaust emissions obtained with a conventional ignition system of a "tuned" engine. This device may also have a beneficial effect in the control of exhaust emissions by maintaining the "tuned" condition of the engine for a longer period of time. Therefore, the "Sentry" electronic ignition system should be exempt from the prohibitions of Section 27156 of the Motor Vehicle Code.
