                          of the Vehicle Code


                         BALL—MATIC CORPORATION
                        "BALL—MATIC AIR INJECTOR"


Pursuant to the authority vested in the Air Resources Board by Section
27156 of the Vehicle Code; and

Pursuant to the authority vested in the undersigned by Sections 39515 and
39516 of the Health and Safety Code and Executive Order G—45—5;

IT IS ORDERED AND RESOLVED: That the installation of the "Ball—Matic Air
Injector" manufactured by Ball—Matic Corporation of 1429 Palo Loma, Orange,
California 92669, has been found to not reduce the effectiveness of required
motor vehicle pollution control devices and, therefore, is exempt from the
prohibitions of Section 27156 of the Vehicle Code for 1979 and older vehicles
except for those vehicles equipped with:

          1.   Three way catalyst with feed back system.
          2.    Fuel injection systems.
          3.   Variable venturi carburetor systems.

The device consists of an air modulating valve with a filter and is inserted
into the PCV line. This valve permits a small amount of additional air
to enter the PCV line. This device can be identified by the name "Ball—Matic
Air Injector" permanently stamped at the bottom of the device housing.

This Executive Order is valid provided that installation instructions
for this device will not recommend tuning the vehicle to specifications
different from those listed by the vehicle manufacturer.                  —

Changes made to the design or operating conditions of the device, as
exempted by the Air Resources Board, that adversely affect the per—
formance of a vehicle‘s pollution control system shall invalidate
this Executive Order.

Marketing of this device using an identification other than that shown
in this Executive Order or marketing of this device for an application
other than those listed in this Executive Order shall be prohibited unless
prior approval is obtained from the Air Resources Board.

This Executive Order does not constitute any opinion as to the effect
that the use of this device may have on any warranty either expressed or
implied by the vehicle manufacturer.

with respect to the action taken herein in any advertising or other oral

leading advertising unlawful, and Section 17534 makes violation punishable

     that device has been certified by the state board. No person shall
     sell, offer for sale, advertise, or represent any motor vehicle
   — pollution control device as a certified device which, in fact, is
     not a certified device. Any violation of this subdivision is a
     misdemeanor."
