GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Air Injection Reactor (A.I.R.) System (figs. If, 2f
and 3f), consists of: the air injection pump (with
necessary brackets and drive attachments), air injection
tubes (one for each cylinder), an air diverter valve, check
valves (one for in-line engines, two for V
8
engines) and
air manifold assemblies, and hoses necessary to connect
the various components.
NOTE: A diverter valve vent valve is used
with 292 cu. in. engines and 454 cu. in.
engines in C20 (except suburban) C30 and
P30 Series vehicles originally sold in the state
of California. This diverter valve vent valve
is employed to shut off the air injection at
manifold vacuums above 18" Hg, in order to
prevent excessive charge dilution and in
creased emissions at high inlet manifold
vacuums. The vent valve functions by venting
the diverter valve diaphragm to atmosphere
at vacuums above 18" Hg. (fig. 4f).
Carburetors and distributors for engines with the A.I.R.
System are designed, particularly, for these engines;
therefore they should not be interchanged with or
replaced by a carburetor or distributor designed for
engines without the A.I.R. System.
When properly installed and maintained, the A.I.R.
System will effectively reduce exhaust emissions.
However, if any A.I.R. component or any engine
component that operates in conjunction with the A.I.R.
System should malfunction, the exhaust emissions might
be increased.
Because of the relationship between “Engine Tune Up”
and “Unburned Exhaust Gases”, the condition of the
Engine Tune Up should be checked whenever the A.I.R.
System seems to be malfunctioning. Particular care
should be taken in checking items that affect fuel-air
ratio such as the crankcase ventilation system, the
carburetor and the carburetor air cleaner.
Because of the similarity of many parts, typical
illustrations and procedures are used except where
specific illustrations or procedures are necessary to
clarify the operation.
