State of California ATE Resources BOARD Staff Report January 28, 1975 Evaluation of the Sears, Roebuck and Co., "Sears Penske Capacitive Discharge Electronic Ignition System, No. 8205" and "Sears Penske Breakeriess Conversion Kit, No. 8206" for Compliance with the Require— ments of Section 27156 of the California Motor Vehicie Code Introduction ‘Sears, Roebuck and Co., P;;;figvégast Buying Office, Dept. 733 | P.C.B., 900 South Fremont Avenue, Alhambra, California 91802 has submitted an application requesting an exemption from the-pqo- hibitions of Section 27156 of the motor vehicle code for the "Sears Penske Capacitive Discharge Electronic Ignition System, No. 8205" and "Sears Penske Breakeriess Conversion Kit, No. 8206" (Reference Exhibit A). Yehicle Code Secfion 27156 profi}bi%s the :ifista11ation of any device or mechanism which reduces the effective— ness of the emission control system. The Air Resources Béard has been granted the authority under this vehicle code section to exempt devices from this prohibiiion if a finding shows the device does not reduce the effectiveness or performance of the emission control system. The applicant is requesting the installation of the 8205 system on all 1974 and older model—year vehicles equipped with conventional point system and the 8206 system on 1974 and older model—year Ford and General Motor Corporation vehicles equipped with an eight cylinder engine and a breakerpoint type distributor.

Evaluation of the Sears, Roebuck and Co., "Sears Penske Capacitive Discharge Electronic Ignition System, No. 8205" and "Sears Penske Breakerless Conversion Kit, No. 8206" for Compliance with the Requirements of Section 27156 of the California + Motor Vehicle Code ' January 28, 1975 II. System Description The 8205 system is a capacitive discfiarge system which is installed into the ignition system. The 8206 system replaces the breaker— points with a magnetic pick—up unit and requires the use of an E.D.M. modulTe and the 8205 system. Both systems are manufacturéd for Sears, Roebuck Co. by'Afito_5£%rt/5ystematics, Inc., 547 North Wheeler Street, Saint Paul, Minnesota 55104.; Exhibit 8 shows the electrical schematic and installation instructions for thg device. The 8205 system consists of the triggering, energy transfer, storage and discharée circuits, After the discharge circuit is activated, saturation of the transformer within the C. D. unit is accémplishéd. This energy is transferred from the transformer secondary through two rectifiers to a storage capacitor. The storage‘andvdischarge circuit releases this energy to the primary side of the ignition coil. When the distributor points open, this causes the silicon controlled rectifier to stop current flow to the ignition coil which causes the spark plug to fire. For the 8206 syétem a magnetic—pick—up is mounted in place of the distributor points. This unit consists of a coil core and a permanent magnet. The coil core is placed near the existing dis— tributor cam lobe. When the high point of the cam moves passed the coil core, a signal is generated which is transferred to the E.D.M. modutle. The modute amplifies and filters the signal by producing

January 28,‘1975 a square~wavelsigna1 which is identical to the signal caused by point opening. This square—wave signal is sent to the triggering circuit of the capacitive discharge system. Acéording to the applicant, these systems are designed to reduce servicing of the ignition system by decreasing the numberof tuneups. III. System Evaluation The Air Resources Board staff‘s evaluation of these two devices _ was based on a consideration of the method used to mount the magnetic—pick—up unit and the electrical output of the devices. The vehicles used in this test program are described below: Vehicle I Make and ModeT—Year 1974 American Motors Ambassador | Station Wagon ' .Engine : 360 Cubic Inch Disp1acement Carburetor .

Evaluation of the Sears, Roebuck and Co., "Sears Penske Capacitive Discharge Electronic Ignition System, No. 8205" and "Sears Penske Breakerless Conversion Kit, No. 8206" for Compliance with the Requirements of Section 27156 of the California Motor Vehicle Code _ January 28, 1975 Since the magnetic pick—up unit used on the 6M Delco distributor application is held down by two cotter pins, it was necessary to determine if this installation was adequate to prevent lateral | movement of the magnetic pick—up unit. The device was installed on the Pontiac per the installation instructions. This yehicle was driven several times on thé“dy;;m;meter using the Hot CVS—1 driving .procedure. After completion of the testing, a feeler gauge was .used to méasure the gap between the cam lobe and the magnetic pick—up. The magnetic pick—up did not move during the test. The next set of tesis consists of measuring the electrical output of the device. The following table summarizes the results of the baseline, No. 8205 and No. 8206 systems.

The 7% increase in avaflable voltage is within a range not considered detrimental to the O.E.M. fgnition system. Likewise the reduction in spark duration to 220 u sec. is not expected to cause a measurable affect on exhaust emissions. The increase in rise rate and voitage level generally means a higher intensity spark will be pro— duced. The above results indicate the insfa?lation of the 8205 or 8206 systems would not have any significant effect on the emission control system. £

January 14, 1975 Mr, George Lew California State Air Resources Board 9528 Telstar EL Monte, California 91731 Dear Mr. Lew: nomnes sez I wish to thank you for the information you gave me in our phone conversation of January I9th, 4s a result we have tested the Carter Emission Reduction Kit on the bench and found that the enclosed recommended procedure does properly activate the speed sensing circuit. We reviewed the compatibility problem with the Lana (Perfect Circle) people, both in California and in Indiana, Their recoumendation was to have the user convert to the Vacuum Delay Vaive if the unit was already equipped with the electronic switch, They indicated that the electronic approach was to be limited to the initial stocks in the field, and eventually would be a minor factor in the mumber of instailations, The Vacuum approach does not need a signal from the igoition system,. However, the DANA pcople in Indiana indicated that they were preparing for their California dealers a set of instructions for dealer modification of the electronic speed switch to separate the power and tach signal so that it would be compatible with C.D, ignition, The instructions are now being printed. We discussed the recommendations they would make and prepared our insert ac= cordingly. Therefore, we are submitting the following format for instructions to be in= serted on Page 10 of the Scars' OWNERS Manual for all uhits shipped to Calife ornia. We certify that the Scears‘ Penske Capacitive Discharge Ignition Unit (28.8205) will properly trigger the Carter Emission Reduction Kit when wired per thoese instructions, As the signal used (the TACH signal from the Amplifier Unit) is available in the same form for both the 28.8205 installation and for breaker— less conversion with the 28,.8206 Breakerless Conversion Kit, we certify the compatibility for both Sears! items. . As the Vacuum Delay Valve form of the DANA RETRONOX Kit does not use an igni~ tion signal, no certification is rcqu:.red. As the Electronic Speed Switch version of the DANL RETRONOX Kit is be:mg ana=
