rvencecmaiemnrvenien A request for granting the—exemption on 1974 and older model vehicles nevmnvmegeeenmsgerems equipped with 8 cylinder Delco distributors was granted by Executive Order D—58 dated August 12, 1975. An additional request for exemption for the 6 cylinder Delco distributor and both the 8 and f P 6 cylinder Ford applications was granted by Executive Order D—58—1 k &E £ dated October 28, 1975. . The applicant has made additional requests as follows: 1. Exemption for certain 4 cylinder engines. 2. Sale of "Dual Packs" consisting of a "Master Pack" and an "Adapter Pack" 3. Sale of "Zenith Electronic Ignition" Systems under "Voltronic" and "Mighty" logo. Appendix I contains a lTist of applicable vehicles and kit numbers. Appendix II contains a list of non applicable vehicles. Section 27156 of the Vehicle Code prohibits the installation, sale or — advertisement of any déevice or mechanisms wh{ch alters the performance or design of the vehicle‘s emission control systems. The Air Resources Bogrd is empowered to exempt any device from this prohibition if a finding shows the device will not reduce the effectiveness of the emission control system.

enmemmerm en enge n momeiermcennnesemmznes II. System Description and Funct1on The Guif and Western dev1ce is designed to rep]ace the breakerpoints with an eTectron1c sw1tch1ng system. This device—consists of an amp11f1er,Ha]] effect magnet1c sensor, sensor mounting bracket, trigger wheel, wiring harness and spacer gauge. The tr1gger wheel consists of a metal skirt with four, six or eight slits depending on the number of—cylinders.. A more detaiied description is provided in the Staff Reports dated July 30, 1975 and October 6, 1975. A typical installation instruction is contained in Exhibit A. III. System Evaluation The applicant submitted ignition system performance data which showed some variations from the OEM equipment but within ARB. evaluation criteria.. In order to verify the data, the applicant Qas requested to submit units for testing at this laboratory for Volkswagen, Toyota, and Vega 4 cylinder distributors since these have critical ignition requirements. The Volkswagen and Toyota 4 cy?jnder engines are equipped with High resistance primary ignition coils (3;4 ohms) with no baTlast in the ignition systeh.' This may cause a significant decrease in the secondary sparkenergy 6utput. The Vega—4 cylinder distributors have an eccentric vacuum advance breaker plate which may cause significant vacuum spark retard. A summary of the test results generated by the Air Resources Board Laboratory for these distributors is given in Table I.

An examination of the laboratory data in Table I showed thevfollowing deviations from OEM parameters. A. 1972 Vega 1. The device showed 4.5 degrees spark retard against the | OEM equipment at 9 inches mercury vacuum and 3 degrees | i at 12 inches. | 2. The device showed a decrease of 150 microseconds in spark duration at 200 engine RPM. 3. Available secondary voltage at load condition showed a 3 KY decrease at 200 engine R.P.M. and a 4 KV decrease at; 600 RPM. With simulated fouled spark plugs the decrease was 2 KV at 200 engine RPM and 4 KY at 600 RPM. The above variations occurred only —at isolated test points and are believed due to test variability. This condition would have a negligible effect on emissions. B. 1974 Toyota 1. The device sfiowed a 6% reduction in secondary voltage rise time. 2. The device also showed a 5 to 10% increase in spark energy. 3. There was also a small decrease (0.5—3.0 KY¥) in secondary voltage available at load and with simulated fouled spark plug. 69

A 60 percent reduction in secondary voltage rise timebis beneffcial since there is less opportunity for current leakage prior to spark plug firing resulting in an increase in spark energy. The small decrease in available secondary voltage may be due to expefimenta] or instrumental variability and is within acceptable limits. C. 1971 Volkswagen Certain Bosch distributors have unequal cam angles. This causes a timing variation from cylinder to cylinder.. The applicant did not compensate for this variation and has requested that the exemption for vehicles.using Bosch distributors be held in abeyance until the correction can be made. All ignition timing and electrical output parameteré were satisfactory on the Voikswagen distributor tested in the laboratory. However, until this problem is resolved all Bosch distributors referenced in Appendix I are not exempted from the.prohibitions of Section 27156 of the Vehicle Code at this time.. IV. Manufacturers Claims The applicant has not submitted any performance claims or benefits of the device. It is the opinion of the staff that the installation of the device on an engine could accomplish the following:

1 1. Reduced ignition system maintenance because of the elimina— tion of breakerpoints from the distributor. 2. No significanteffect on vehicle performance, fuel economy or emission reduction would be expectéd than would be‘ obtained from a properly tuned engine using a standard Kettering ignition system. Conclusions and Recofimendations The staff concludes that the installation of this device on the specified 4 cylinder engines will not result in increased emissions. Based on the test data and other information submitted by the:— applicant, the staff recommends Gulf and Western, General Automotive Products Group, be granted an exemption for the "Grand Prix II", "Magnition", "Zenith", "Voitronic"‘, "Mighty" and "Powereédy" systems installed on 1976 and older vehicles equipped with specific distributors as listed in Appendix I except for Volkswagen and other vehicles using Bosch distributors with unequal cam angles. Thisvdevice is not for use on vehicles originally equipped with breaker— less, C—D, electronic ignition systems, leading ignition systems for rotary engines, dual point distributors‘ (where one of the points is used for emission control) and for 1966—1970 vehicles with NOx devices and 4° retard (i.e., Carter—CER, Echlin, STP — Air Computer and AQP — Electro—NOx and Kaf Kit]).

kir 4 Eck—1/3 VEGA 4 CYLINDER INSTALLATIQN EXHIBIT A . Note: Please read the instructions thoroughly prior: to starunq the installation of the system. 1.. Remove distributor cap. Check for cracks or burnt electrodes. Replace if found defective. ' 2. Remove rotor and set aside. 3. Remove points and condenser and hold down screw. Set these aside. 4. Remove distributor lead from negative (— or dist.) terminal on the fanition coil. Pull it out of the distributor completely and set it aside. 5. Remove the retaining ring holding the points mounting plate to the dist— ributor. Remove the spring and the p]ate Put the spring in a safe place as it will be used later. 6. Remove the two (2) screws holding the vacuum advance chamber to the distributor. These screws will be used acain so do not discard them. When removing the screws care must be exercised that no damage occurs to the vacuum chamber. When the screws are removed nothing will be holding the chamber. . 7. Line up the hole in the link of the new distributor top plate with the new distributor top plate with the hole in the arm of the vacuum chamber. Start the 4—40 x 7/4" screw tying the two arms together. Be sure the head of the screw is on the bottom. Before tightening the screw be sure the vacuum chamber arm is securely seated between the two tabs of the link. Tighten the screw securely. 8. Carefully locate the hole in the tope plate with the post in the distributor. Slide the plate down the post until its nylon feet are resting on the bottom plate. You will now be able to remount the vacuum chamber with the screws removed earlier. 9. Place the spring removed earlier over the post in the distributor. Now carefully press the tinnermannut over the post until it snaps in place. 10. Place existing distributor wire grommet (rubber insulator) over the sianal generator wires. Insert the grommet down into the distributor base plate and seat the grommet into the slot. 11. Position the "signal generator" modnting bracket on the new base plate of the distributor in the similar place previously occupied by the point contact set. Loosely secure bracket to base plate using two #8/32 x 1/4" brass screws in P lace of the original rig screws. ‘ 12. Place the provided "signal oenerator" locator (see figure B) over the dis— tributor shaft and slide down until the locator ooes inside the slot of the signal generator mounting bracket. Tighten the two screws of the signal generator mounting bracket to the distributor base plate. Remove the locator from the distributor shaft.

Place the "signal generator" onto the mounting bracket, using care to align the two locator posts of the bracket into the "signal generator" base. Drive the #8/32 x 1/8" brass "signal gensrator" mounting screw. 14. Place the signal chopper rotor on the distributor shaft and rotate and push down until you feel it index on the shaft. Kake sure the signal chopper blades do not touch the signal generator when rotated. ~ ~ 15. Dress the wires from the "signal generator" through the grommet (rubber insulator) to remove any possibility of the wire cetting cut by the * rotating signal chopper, but providing enough wire to allow the distributor vacuum advance to work freely. The length of the wires protruding from the distributor should be 5 1/4". Carefully install the Joose connector shell on the red wire terminal. 16. Install a good distributor cap and fanition wires. 17. Install the provided harness to the coil and distributor signal generator: (refer to circuit dijagram of figure A): Connect red wires together. C m Connect green wires together. . + Connect black wires together. OO s Connect blue wire to positive {[+ or batt) terminal on the coil. ' Fake sure that the original equipment wire to the coil is also still on this terminal. — e. Connect the yellow wire to the nesative (— or dist) terminal on the coil. 18. Route the wiring across the engine to the fenderwell or firewall of the vehicle. Use care to keep the wiring away from moving mechanisims and exhaust manifold and to allow the harness to flex freely between the engine and fender— well or firewall. _ — 19. CAUTION: Sefore mounting the electronic control unit, make sure the wire harness will reach from the engine to the mounting location and that it is subjected to the least amount of heat. A fenderwell may be best suited (do not mount to a plastic fenderwell). Excess harness length may be folded back on itself and taped together. 20. Remove the center screw from the control unit and remove back mounting plate. ‘sing the mounting plate as a ftemplate, drill four 1/8" holes in firewall or fenderwell. 21. Tount the control unit mounting plate with 4—#10 x 3/8" sheet metal screws provided. Remount the control unit to the mouniing bracket with the center scrow.

Vena 4 Cylinder Installation (Cont‘d) 22. Pluo the wire harness into the control unit. Drill a 1/8" hole in the nearby sheet metal for mounting the ground wire (black}. Hount the ground wire with the #10 x 3/8" sheet metal screw provided. 23. Start engine, check timing .and reset to manufacturers specifications if needed. The dwell cannot be adjusted, because it is fixed by design. 24. For imaximum performance,—check the condition of all spark plugs, ignition wiring, and coil. Replace if necessary. 25. Place "Attention" sticker on air cleaner or in other prominent location. 26. Original parts previously set aside should be retained for re—installation when the car is disposed of. .
