Fisher, Director—Automotive Emissions Control, GM Tech Center recently communicated with you regarding exemption to MV code section 27156 for General Motors Truck & Coach Electronic Ignition retrofit kit #2234808. Mr. Luczynski called me on November 1, 1976 to inform me that all such requests must originate with the manufacturer of the system. Gulf + Western, therefore, requests exemption to the MV code section 27156 for General Motors Truck & Coach Electronic Ignition retrofit kit #2234808. Gulf + Western manufactures this kit for GMC Truck & Coach, and the kit is functionally identical with the Zenith kit for GM—8 application (single pack #130—10). There is absolutely no change in the GMC unit as compared to the Zenith unit other than the nameplate and packaging. The CMC Electronic Ignition kit will be merchandised by a "single pack". This Zenith kit was exempted by the Califormia Air Resources Board by Executive Order #D—58, August 12, 1975. I believe a sample of the GMC kit has already been received by Mr. Luczynski for your evaluation. If you need any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me.
