Some fasteners are metric and are very close in dimension to familiar cus­ tomary fasteners in the inch system. It is important to note that, during any vehicle maintenance procedures, replace­ m ent fasteners must have the same measurements and strength as those removed, whether metric or customary. (Numbers on the heads of metric bolts and on surfaces of metric nuts indicate their strength. Customary bolts use ra­ dial lines for this purpose, while most customary nuts do not have strength markings.) Mismatched or incorrect fasteners can result in vehicle damage or malfunction, or possibly per­ sonal injury. Therefore, fasteners removed from the vehicle should be saved for re-use in the same locations whenever possible. Where the fasteners are not satisfactory for re-use, care should be taken to select a replacement that matches the original. For information and assistance, see your au­ thorized dealer.

TOWING Proper lifting or towing equipm ent is necessary to prevent dam age to the vehicle during any towing operation. State (Provincial in C anada) and local laws applicable to vehicles in tow must be followed. All Except Four W h e e l D riv e Tru cks Norm ally this vehicle may be towed on all four wheels, at speeds o f less than 35 MPH, for distances up to 50 miles, provided the driveline, axle and transmis­ sion, and steering system are otherwise normally operable. Use only towing e q u ip m e n t specifically designed for this purpose, following the instructions of the equipm ent m anufacturer. A separate safety chain system must be used. For such towing the steering must be locked, transmission in neutral and park in g brake released. A ttachm ents must be m ade to m ain structural m em bers o f the vehicle. Do not attach to bumpers or associated brackets. R em em ber that power brake and power steering assists will not be available when engine is inoperative. The rear wheels must be raised off the ground or the drive shaft disconnected when the transmission is not operating properly or when a speed o f 35 MPH or distance of 50 miles will be exceeded. C A U T IO N : I f a truck is towed on its front wheels only, the steering wheel must be secured with the wheels in a straight ahead position.

STEEL T U B IN G R E P LACEM ENT In the event that replacem ent o f steel tubing is required on brake line, fuel line, evaporative emission, and transmission cooling lines, only the recom m ended steel replacem ent tubing should be used. Only special steel tubing should be used to replace brake lines. T hat is, a double layer and brazed steel tubing m eeting G.M . Specification 123M. Further, any oth e r steel tubing should be replaced only with the released steel tubing or its equivalent. U n der no co ndition should copper or alum inum tubing be used to replace steel tubing. Those materials do not have satisfactory fatigue durability to withstand normal vehicle vibrations. All steel tubing should be flared using the upset (double lap) flare method.

If more than 7,500 miles are driven in a 12 month period, change oil each 7,500 miles. • H e a v y D uty E m ission V eh icles-C h an ge oil each 4 months or 6,000 miles. If more than 6,000 miles are driven in a 4-m onth period, change oil each 6,000 miles. • C hange oil each 3 months or 3,000 miles (2 m onths or 3.000 miles on Heavy Duty Emission Vehicles), whichever occurs first, u nder the following conditions: —Driving in dusty conditions. —Trailer pulling or c am per use. —M otor Home use. —Extensive idling. —Short-trip operation at freezing temperatures (engine not thoroughly warmed-up). • O p eration in dust storms may require an im m ediate oil change. • F o r Light D uty Emission Vehicles replace the oil filter at the first oil change, and every second oil change thereafter, if mileage (7,500 miles is the determ ining factor. If time (12 month) is the determ ining factor, then c hange oil filter with every oil change. For Heavy Duty Emission Vehicles, replace the oil filter at the first oil ch an ge and every other oil change th ereafter using 6,000 miles or 12 m onth as the d eterm ining factors. AC oil filters (or equivalent) provide excellent engine protection. The above recom m endations apply to the first c hange as well as subsequent oil changes. The oil change interval for the engine is based on the use o f SE oils and quality oil filters. Oil change intervals longer than those listed above will seriously reduce engine life and may affect the m a n u fa c tu rer’s obligation under the provisions o f the New Vehicle W arranty. A high quality SE oil was installed in the engine at the factory. It is not necessary to change this factoryinstalled oil prior to the recom m ended normal change period. However, check the oil level more frequently d u rin g the break-in period since higher oil consumption is norm al until the piston rings become seated. N O T E : Non-detergent and other low quality oils are specifically not recommended.

The best time to check it is before operating the engine or as the last step in a fuel stop. This will allow the oil accumulation in the engine to drain back in the crankcase. To check the level, remove the oil gauge rod (dipstick), wipe it clean and reinsert it firmly for an accurate reading. The oil gauge rod is m arked " F U L L " and " A D D " . The oil level should be m aintained in the safety margin, neither going above the " F U L L " line nor below " A D D " line. NOTE: The oil gauge rod is also m arked "Use SE Engine Oil" as a rem inder to use only SE oils. S u p p lem e n ta l E n gin e Oil A dditives The regular use o f supplemental additives is specifically not recom mended and will increase operating costs. However, supplemental additives are available that can effectively and economically solve certain specific problems without causing other difficulties. For example, if higher detergency is required to reduce varnish and sludge deposits resulting from some unusual operational difficulty, a thoroughly tested and approved additive "G .M . Super Engine Oil S upplem ent" (or equivalent) - is available.

Drive belts should be checked every 7,500 miles or 12 months (6,000 miles or 4 months Heavy Duty Emission Vehicles) for proper tension. A loose belt will affect water pu m p and generator operation. R e c o m m e n d e d V isc o s ity Positive Crankcase V entilation Valve (P.C.V.) To help assure good cold and hot starting, as well as m axim um engine life, fuel economy, and oil economy, select the pro p e r oil viscosity for the tem perature range anticipated from the following chart: Every 30,000 miles (24,000 miles Heavy Duty Emission Vehicles) or 24 months the valve should be replaced. Connecting hoses, fittings and flame arrestor should be cleaned. At every oil change the system should be tested for pro per function and serviced, if necessary (Also see m aintenance schedule at end o f this section.) Air Injection Reactor System (A .I.R .)--C ontrolled Combustion 1. On V8 engine, lubricate the ball stud at the carburetor lever. 2. On L6 engine, lubricate the two ball studs at the carburetor lever and lubricate the lever m ounting stud. Do not lubricate the accelerator cable. System (E.C.S.) A U T O M A T IC T R A N S M IS S IO N The Air Injection Reactor system should have the drive belt inspected for w ear and tension every 24 m onths or 30,000 miles (4 m onths or 6,000 miles Heavy Duty Emission Vehicles), whichever occurs first. In addition, complete effectiveness o f either system, as well as full power an d perform ance, depends upon idle speed, ignition timing, and idle fuel mixture being set according to specification. A quality tune-up which includes these adjustm en ts should be p e rfo rm e d periodically to assure norm al engine efficiency, operation and perform ance. Fluid Recom m endations Evaporation Control S ystem (E.C.S.) Every 30,000 miles (24,000 miles Heavy Duty Emission Vehicles) or 24 months, (more often under dusty conditions) the filter in the base o f the canister must be replaced and the canister inspected. Early Fuel Evaporation (E.F.E.) System First 7,500 miles or 12 months check valve for freedom o f operation. A binding condition must be corrected. Check hoses for cracking, abrasion or deterioration. Replace parts as necessary. Air C leaner CAUTION: Do not remove the engine air cleaner unless temporary removal is necessary during repair or maintenance o f the vehicle. When the air cleaner is removed backfiring can cause fire in the engine compartment. N O T E: U n d e r prolonged dusty driving conditions, it is recom m ended that these operations be perfo rm e d more often. Replace the engine air cleaner element under norm al operatin g conditions every 30,000 miles (12,000 miles Heavy Duty Emission Vehicles except C alifornia 350-400 engines, replace every 24,000 miles). Use automatic transmission fluids identified with the mark D E X R O N ® II. Check the fluid level at each engine oil change period. Automatic transmissions are frequently overfilled because the fluid level is checked when the fluid is cold and the dipstick indicates fluid should be added. However, the low reading is norm al since the level will rise as the fluid tem perature increases. A level change o f over 3 /4 inch will occur as fluid tem perature rises from 60 F to 180°F. Overfilling can cause foam ing and loss o f fluid through the vent. Slippage and transmission failure can result. Fluid level too low can cause slipping, particularly, when the transmission is cold or the vehicle is on a hill. Check the transmission fluid level with engine running, the shift lever in PARK and the vehicle level. NOTE: If the vehicle has recently been operated for an extended period at high speed o r in city traffic in hot w eather or the vehicle is being used to pull a trailer, an accurate fluid level cannot be determ ined until the fluid has cooled down usually about 30 minutes after the vehicle has been parked. Remove the dipstick and touch the transmission end o f the dipstick cautiously to find out if the fluid is cool, w arm or hot. W ipe it clean and re-insert until cap seats. Remove dipstick and note readings. • If the fluid feels cool, about room temperature 65 °F to 8 5 °F the level should be 1/8 to 3 /8 inch below the ADD mark. The dipstick has two dimples below the "A D D ' mark to show this range (fig. 0B-1). • If it feels warm , the level should be close to the ADD m ark (either above or below). Fuel Filter L ig h t D u ty Em ission V eh icles-R ep lace filter element located in c arburetor inlet every 12 months or 15,000 miles whichever occurs first, or, if an in-line filter is also used, replace both filters every 30,000 miles. Heavy Duty Em ission Vehicles-R ep lace filter ele­ ment in carburetor inlet every 12 months or 12,000 miles, w hichever comes first, except C alifornia 350-400 engines should be replaced every 24 months or 24,000 miles. A c c ele rato r Linkage Lubricate with engine oil every 15,000 miles (12,000 miles Heavy D uty Emission Vehicles) as follows: (6 5 85 F .) COOL i - r ^ ADD 1 \ ____ I __ S (1 8 ? 9 C .) HOT HOT ' ______________ W ARM NOTE: DO NOT OVERFILL. It takes only one pint to raise level from ADD to FULL with a hot transmission. • If it feels hot (cannot be held comfortably), the level should be between the A D D and FU LL marks. Drain Intervals The transmission operating temperature resulting from the type o f driving conditions under which your vehicle is used is the m ain consideration in establishing the proper frequency of transmission fluid changes. C hange the transmission fluid and filter every 15,000 miles (12,000 miles Heavy Duty Emission Vehicles), if the vehicle is usually driven under one or more of the following conditions which are considered severe transmission service: • In heavy city traffic. • W here the outside tem perature regularly reaches 90 °F. • In very hilly or m ountainous areas. • Frequent trailer pulling. • Commercial uses, such as taxi, police car or delivery service. If you do not use your vehicle under any o f these conditions, change the fluid and filter every 60,000 miles, (24,000 miles Heavy Duty Emission Vehicles).

Positive Locking or Positraction Every 12 months or 7,500 miles (4 months or 6,000 miles Heavy Duty Emission Vehicles), whichever occurs first, check lubricant level and add SAE 80W or SAE 80W-90 GL5 gear lubricant, if necessary, to fill to level of filler plug hole. PROPELLER SHAFT SLIP JO IN T S Propeller shaft slip joints should be lubricated every 7,500 miles or 12 months (6,000 miles or 4 months Heavy Duty Emis­ sion Vehicles) with water resistant EP chassis lubricant which meets General Motors Specification GM 603l-M. trans­ mission sum p filter should be replaced. 3-A N D 4-SPEED M A N U A L T R A N M IS S IO N UNIV E R S A L JO IN T S Lubricant All universal joints are the needle bearing type. Lubricate those universal joints (depending on truck model) equipped with lube fittings every 7,500 miles or 12 months (6,000 miles or 4 months Heavy Duty Emission Vehicles) with water resistant EP chassis lubricant which meets G eneral Motors Specification G M 60 3 l-M. More frequent lubes may be required on heavy duty or "O ff the R o a d " operations. Every 12 months or 7,500 miles (4 months or 6.000 miles Heavy Duty Emission Vehicles), whichever occurs first, check lubricant level and add lubricant, if necessary, to fill to level o f filler plug hole with SAE 80W or SAE 80W-90 GL-5 G e a r Lubricant. If temperatures below + 3 2 ' F are expected, use SAE 80W GL-5 G e a r L ubricant only. For those vehicles normally operated in C a na da , use SAE 80W GL-5 G e a r Lubricant only. T R A N S M IS S IO N S H IF T LINKAG E WHEEL BEARINGS Fro nt (M A N U A L AN D A U T O M A T IC ) Every 7,500 miles or 12 months (6,000 miles or 4 months Heavy Duty Emission Vehicles), lubricate shift linkage and, on M anual transmission floor control, lever contacting faces with w ater resistant EP chassis lubricant which meets G eneral Motors Specification GM6031-M. Clutch The clutch pedal free travel should be checked at regular intervals. Lubricate the clutch cross-shaft at fitting (on Series 10 Forward Control models also lubricate the clutch NOTE: Use wheel bearing lubricant G M Part No. 1051344 or equivalent which meets all require­ ments o f G eneral Motors Specification G M 6031 M. Due to the weight of the tire and wheel assembly it is recom m ended that they be removed from hub before lubricating bearings to prevent dam age to oil seal. Then remove the front wheel hub to lubricate the bearings. The bearings should be thoroughly cleaned before repacking with lubricant. Front wheels are equipped with tapered roller bearings on all trucks. Wheel bearings should be lubricated every 30,000 miles (24.000 miles Heavy Duty Emission Vehicles) - lubricate every 12,000 miles in four wheel drive trucks. Do not mix wheel bearing lubricants. CAUTION: "Lo n g fibre" type greases should not be used on roller bearing front wheels. Rear The rear wheel bearings receive their lubrication from the rear axle. W hen installing bearings which have been cleaned, prelube with wheel bearing grease. BRAKE M A S TE R CYLINDER Check m aster cylinder fluid level in both reservoirs every 7,500 miles or 12 months (6,000 miles or 4 months Heavy Duty Emission Vehicles). If the fluid is low in the reservoir, it should be filled to a point about 1/4" from the top rear o f each reservoir with Delco Supreme No. 11 Hydraulic Brake Fluid or equivalent. BRAKE A N D CLUTCH PEDAL S PR IN G S Lubricate brake and clutch pedal springs every 7,500 miles or 12 m onths (6,000 miles or 4 months Heavy Duty Emission Vehicles) with engine oil for all models. P A R K IN G BRAKE Every 7,500 miles or 12 months (6,000 miles or 4 m onths Heavy Duty Emission Vehicles) clean and lubricate all park in g brake pivot points with w ater resistant EP chassis lubricant which meets G eneral M otors Specification G M 6 0 3 1-M. STE ER IN G M anual S teering Gear The steering gear is factory-filled with steering gear lubricant. Seasonal change of this lubricant should not be perfo rm e d and the housing should not be drained-no lubrication is required for the life o f the steering gear. Every 30,000 miles (36.000 miles Heavy Duty Emission Vehicles), the gear should be inspected for seal leakage (actual solid grease-not ju st oily film). If a seal is replaced or the gear is overhauled, the gear housing should be refilled with No. 1051052 (13 oz. container) Steering G e a r Lubricant which meets G M Specification G M 4673-M or its equivalent. N O TE : Do not use EP Chassis Lube, which meets G M Specification G M 6 0 3 1-M. to lubricate the gear. D O N O T O VER-FILL the gear housing. Pow er S teering System Check the fluid level in the pum p reservoir at each oil change period. Add G M Power Steering Fluid (G M 1050017 or equivalent) as necessary to bring level into pro p e r range on filler cap indicator depending upon fluid tem perature. If at op eratin g tem perature (approximately 150 °Fhot to the touch), fluid should be between " H O T " and " C O L D " marks. If at room tem perature (approximately 70 F), fluid should be between " A D D " and " C O L D " marks. Fluid does not require periodic changing. Linkage and Suspension M aintain correct front end alignment to provide easy steering, longer tire life, and driving stability. Check control arm bushings and ball joints for wear. Lubricate tie rods, upper and lower control arms, and ball joints at fittings with water resistant EP chassis lubricant which meets G eneral Motors Specification G M 6 0 3 1-M every 7,500 miles or 12 months (6,000 miles or 4 months Heavy Duty Emission Vehicles). Lubricate every 3,000 miles or 3 months (2 months Heavy Duty Emission Vehicles), whichever occurs first, under the following conditions: • Driving in dusty or muddy conditions. • Extensive off-road use. NOTE: Ball joints must be at + 1 0 GF. or more before lubricating. Keep spring to axle U bolts and shackle bolts properly tightened (see Specifications Section for torque recommendations). Check U bolt nuts after the first 1,000 miles o f operation if the U bolt or U bolt nuts are changed in service. HOOD LATCH AN D HOOD H IN G E Every 7,500 miles or 12 months (6,000 miles or 4 months Heavy Duty Emission Vehicles), whichever occurs first, lubricate hood latch assembly and hood hinge assembly as follows: 1. Wipe off any accumulation of dirt or contaimination on latch parts. 2. Apply lubriplate or equivalent to latch pilot bolt and latch locking plate. 3.

The blower and air inlet assembly and water hoses are located on the forward side o f the dash panel while the heater core and distributor duct are on the passenger side. which outside air is heated and then mixed in varying amounts with cooler outside air to attain the desired air temperature. The system consists basically o f three parts: (1) the blower and air inlet assembly, (2) the heater distributor assembly and (3) the heater control assembly. The heater system is an air mix type system in Fig. 1A 1-H eater A ir Flow Schematic- G Models 1 A-2 HEATER & DEFROSTER A S M HEATER A DEFROSTER A S M (HEATER IN OFF P O S I T I O N ) AIR OUTLET LIGHT TRUCK SERVICE MANUAL V IE W A A IR F L O W L E G E N D Q] TEMPERATURE V A L V E [ (jj DEFROSTER V A L V E GO PURGE V A L V E HEATER A S M D A S H PA N E L - C-K MODELS Fig. 1A-2- Heater A ir Flow Schem atic-C-K Models O U T S ID E AIR M I X E D AIR HEATED AIR BLOWER AN D AIR INLET ASSEMBLY T he blower and air inlet assembly draws outside air through the outside air inlet grille located forward o f the windshield reveal m olding and channels the air into the heater distributor assembly.

The control incorporates two levers which m ake use o f bowden cables to control positioning o f the purge, tem perature and defroster doors. HEA TER D IS T R IB U T O R ASSEMBLY Tem perature Lever T he heater distributor assembly houses the heater core an d the doors necessary to control mixing and c hanneling o f the air. Since the unit has no w ater valve, water circulation keeps the core hot at all times. That portion of the air passing through the core receives m ax im um heat from the core. Air entering the distributor assembly is channeled as follows: This lever control the positioning o f the T E M P E R A ­ T U R E door in the heater distributor assembly. All incoming "outside" air is directed around the heater core in the CO LD position or through the core in the HO T position. The desired outlet tem perature is obtained by blending the heated and unheated air according to the setting o f the tem perature lever. C-K Models Heater-Def Lever A ir entering the distributor can be directed out the purge door opening, on the right end o f the distributor assembly, by the purge door. If the purge door is closed, then air is directed through a n d / o r around the heater core by the tem perature door. Air is then directed into the passenger com partm en t through the heater (floor) outlets a n d / o r the defroster (dash) outlets by the defroster door. The tem perature o f the outlet air is de p e n d e n t on the ratio o f heated to unheated air (controlled by the tem perature door). G Models A ir flow is controlled by three doors in the distributor assembly. The air door can be adjusted to vary airflow. If air is allowed to enter the distributor assembly, it is then directed through a n d / o r around the heater core by the tem perature door. Air is directed into the passenger co m p artm en t through the heater (floor) a n d / o r defroster (dash) outlets by the defroster door. The tem peratu re o f the outlet air is dependent o f the The H E A T E R -D E F lever controls the position of the D E FR O ST E R door and the P U R G E door. In the O F F position, the blower is " o n " and incoming air is directed up under the dash through the purge door opening. As the lever is moved to the right o f the O F F position, the door closes, directing airflow on into the distributor assembly. With the lever at HEATER, the D E FR O STE R door directs almost all airflow to the heater (floor) outlets - a small am ount of air is directed to the defroster (dash) outlets. In the D E F position, most airflow is diverted to the defroster outlets. Moving the lever part way, as desired, will split airflow between the floor and defroster outlets. Fan Control The blower fan lever is located at the left hand side o f the control assembly. The blower motor will operate as soon as the ignition switch is turned to the R U N position. The control has three' positions only; LO, MED, HI. There is no O F F position. G Models (Fig. 1A-4) The controls are located in the instrum ent panel, just to the right o f the instrument cluster. In opeation, two levers control all heating operations.

All incoming "outside" air is directed around the heater core in the C O L D position or through the core in the HOT position. The desired outlet tem perature is obtained by blending heated an d unheated air according to the setting o f the tem perature lever. H eater-D ef Lever T he H E A T E R -D E F lever controls positioning o f the A IR and D E F R O S T E R doors in the heater distributor assembly. In the O F F position, no air is allowed to enter the system. Moving the lever to the right (toward HEATER) opens the air door with the AIR door being fully open at the H EATER position. Incoming air is directed to the heater outlets (with slight air bleed to the defroster outlets). Moving the lever between HEATER and DKF, directs increasing amounts of air to the defroster outlets until all air is directed to the defroster outlets in the D EF position. Fan Control The blower fan lever is located on the left h an d side o f the control assembly. W hen the lever is fully down, the blower motor is inoperative. M oving the lever upward actuates the three speed blower motor (LOWMED-HI). DIAGNOSIS TROUBLE Temperature of heater a ir a t outlets too low to heat up pas­ senger compartment.

Air e ntering the vehicle must pass through the cooling unit (evaporator) and through (or around) the heating unit, in that order, and the system is thus referred to as a " r e h e a t" system. The evap orator provides m aximum cooling o f the air passing through the core when the air conditioning system is calling for cooling. A thermostatic switch, located on the blow er-evaporator case, acts to control compressor op eration by sensing the evaporator inlet line temperature. System operation is as follows" Air, either outside air or recirculated air, enters the system and is forced through the system by the blower. As the air passes through the evaporator core, it receives m axim um cooling if the air conditioning controls are calling for cooling. A fter leaving the evaporator, the air enters the H eater and Air C onditioner Selector Duct Assembly where, by m eans o f diverter doors, it is caused to pass through or to bypass the heater core in the proportions necessary to provide the desired outlet temperature. Conditioned air then enters the vehicle through either the floor distributor duct or the dash outlets. W hen, during cooling operations, the air is cooled by the evapo rator to below com fort level, it is then warm ed by the heater to the desired tem perature. D uring "h eating only" operations, the evaporator will not be in operation and am bien t air will be w a rm e d to the desired level in the same m anner. The dash outlets are rectangular in design. The outlets can be rotated horizontally or vertically to direct air as desired. U n de r the left distributor duct is located a floor cooler which can be rotated to provide cooling air or shut off completely. C 6 0 SYSTEM (G M O DELS) This system perform s both the heating and cooling functions: however, the h eating and cooling systems operate independently o f one another — the system provides e ith er heating or cooling and thus is referred to as a "p arallel system". In the air conditioning modes, air (either a mixture o f inside an d outside at N O R M or inside air only at MAX) enters the system and passes through the evaporator core (receiving m axim um cooling) an d is then directed into the passenger c om partm ent through the dash outlets and foot coolers. A therm ister clipped to the evaporator core is used to control com pressor o p e r a tio n by sensing air tem perature as it leaves the evaporato r core. As the core tem peratu re increases the resistance o f the therm ister to 400 ohms, the amplifier (on the control) furnishes current to energize the compressor clutch coil. As the eva p o ra to r cools down, the tem perature o f the thermister decreases which biases the amplifier off and compressor clutch coil is de-energized. The dash outlets are rectangular in design and can be rotated horizontally or vertically to direct air as desired. Foot coolers are provided on both driver and passenger side. In the heater-defrost modes, the air conditioning outside air door is closed. The heater air door is open and outside air is allowed to pass through the heater core (receiving m aximum heating) and is then directed into the passenger co m p artm en t through the heater a n d /o r defroster outlets. OVERHEAD SYSTEMS (C-K-G MODELS) These systems (C69 on C-K -G Models) operate in conjunction with the Four-Season System (C-K Models) or C60 System (G M o d e ls)-th e y do not operate independently. N OTE: O verhead system kits are available for non-factory installation on C-K Models, providing the vehicle is equipped with the front system. These units are self contained, operating on inside (recirculated) air only. Air is drawn into the unit, passed through the evaporator core and then directed into the passenger com partm ent through the air distributor duct. System control is through the front system. The only control on the overhead system is a three speed blower switch. M O TO R H O M E CHASSIS SYSTEM This system perform s the cooling functions only. W hen heating (above am bient temperatures) is desired, the vehicle heater must be used. W hen air conditioning is desired, the heater should be completely shut off. This self-contained unit is bracket m ounted to the dash by the body m anufacturer. It operates on inside (recirculated) air only. Air is drawn into the unit, passed throu gh the e v a p o ra to r core (receiving m axim um cooling) and then directed into the vehicle through adjustable outlets. A thermostatic switch, located on the face plate is used to control compressor operation by sensing air tem perature as it leaves the evaporator core. BASIC A IR C O N D IT IO N E R W hen we look at an air conditioning unit, we will always find a set o f coils or a finned rad iato r core through which the air to be cooled passes. This is known as the "evaporator". The refrigerant boils in the evaporator. In boiling, or course, the refrigerant absorbs heat and changes into a vapor. By piping this vapor outside the car we can bodily carry out the heat that caused its creation. Once we get vapor out o f the evaporator, all we have to do is remove the heat it contains.

We know the liquid refrigerant boils at tem peratures considerably below freezing and that the vapors arising from it are only a shade w arm er even though they do contain quantities o f heat. Consequently, we c a n ’t expect to remove heat from sub-freezing vapors by "cooling" them in air tem peratures that usually range between 15 C and 38 C (60 °F and 100 °F)...heat refuses to flow from a cold object toward a w arm er object. But with a pump, we can squeeze the heat-laden v apor into a smaller space. And, when we compress the vapor, we also concentrate the heat it contains. In this way, we can make the vap or hotter without adding any heat. T hen we can cool it in comparatively w arm air. T h a t is the only responsibility o f a compressor in an air conditioning system. It is not intended to be a pump just for circulating the referigerant. Rather, its jo b is to exert pressure for two reasons. Pressure makes the vapor hot enough to cool off in w arm air. At the same time, the compressor raises the re f rig e r a n t’s pressure above the condensing point at the tem perature o f the surrounding air so it will condense. As the refrigeran t leaves the compressor, it is still a v a p o r although it is not quite hot and ready to give up the heat that it absorbed in the evaporator. One o f the easiest ways to help refrigerant vapor discharge its heat is to send it through a readiator-like com ponent known as a condenser. The condenser really is a very simple device having no moving parts. It does exactly the same jo b as the fam iliar radiator in a typical home steam -heating system. There, the steam is nothing more than water vapor. In passing through the radiator, the steam gives up its heat and condenses back into water. The purpose o f the condenser, as the nam e implies, is to condense the high pressure, high temperature refrigeran t vapor discharged by the compressor into a high pressure liquid refrigerant. This occurs when the high pressure, high tem perature refrigerant is subjected to the considerably cooler metal surfaces o f the condenser. This is due to the fu ndam ental laws, which state that " h e a t travels from the w arm er to the cooler surface," an d that "when heat is removed from vapor, liquid is produced." W hen the refrigerant condenses into a liquid, it again is ready for boiling in the evaporator. So, we run a pipe from the condenser back to the evaporator. MAIN UNITS OF THE SYSTEM T hese three units then; the e v a pora tor, the compressor, and the condenser...are the main working parts in any typical air conditioning system. We have the evapo rator w here the refrigerant boils and changes into a vapor, ab sorbing heat as it does so. We have the pum p or compressor to put pressure on the refrig erant so it can get rid o f its heat. And we have a condenser outside the car body to help discharge the heat into the surrounding air. Now let’s look at the compressor in detail, and some o f the components that work with these m ain units to complete the air conditioning system. AXIAL SIX-CYLINDER CO M PRESSO R The prim e purpose o f the compressor (fig. IB-4) is to take the low pressure refrigerant vapor produced by the evaporator and compress it into a high pressure, high tem perature vapor which will be sent on to the condenser. It utilizes the principle that "when a vapor is compressed, both its pressure and tem perature are raised" which we have already discussed. The axial six cylinder compressor is mounted above the engine in a special ru b b e r mounted bracket and is belt driven from the engine through an electromagnetic clutch pulley on the compressor. The compressor has three double-acting pistons, making it a six cylinder compressor. The compressor has a l .5 inch bore and 1.1875 inch stroke, giving it a total displacement of 12.6 cu. in. Identification o f the compressor is by model and serial n um b e r stamped on a plate on top of the compressor. Clutch-Pulley The movable part o f the clutch drive plate is in front of the pulley and bearing assembly. The arm ature plate, the movable m ember, is attached to the drive hub through driver springs and is riveted to both members. The hub o f the drive plate is pressed over a square drive key located in the compressor shaft. A spacer and retainer ring are assembled to the shaft and the assembly is held in place with a self-locking nut. The pulley rim, power element ring and pulley hub are formed into a final assembly by molding a frictional material between the rim and the hub with the power element ring im bedded in the forward face of the assembly. A two-row ball bearing is pressed into the pulley hub and held in place by a retainer ring. The entire pulley and bearing assembly is then pressed over the front head o f the compressor and secured by a retainer ring. Clutch coil The coil is molded into the coil housing with a filled epoxy resin and must be replaced as a complete assembly. Three protrusions on the rear o f the housing fit into alignm ent holes in the compressor front head. A retainer ring secures the coil and housing in place. The coil has 3.85 ohms resistance at 26.7X1 (80 °F) am bient tem perature and will require no more than 3.2 amperes at 12 vols D.C. Since the clutch coil is not grounded internally, a ground lead is required as well as a "h o t" lead. Compressor Connector Compressor connectors, are attached to the compres­ sor rear head by means o f a single bolt and lock washer. FRONT DISCHARGE V A L VE PLATE SHAFT SEAL ASM.

G Models have gauge fittings located on the muffler a n d com pressor inlet line. M otor Home Chassis unit fittings are located on the inlet and outlet lines. C-K model gauge fittings are located on the accumulator and ev ap orator inlet line. All fittings are equipped with a valve core. Pressure Relief Valve The pressure relief valve, located on the compressor rear head, is simply a safety valve designed to open automatically if the system pressure should reach a p re ­ determined level high enough to cause system damage. A fter the pressure drops to a safe level the valve will close. A fter such an occurence, the system should be throughly checked to discover and correct the cause of the abnorm al pressure increase, and then should be purged, evacuated and charged. RAD IA L FOUR CYLINDER CO M PRESSO R A Radial four cylinder compressor (Fig. IB-5) is used on a vehicle with a six cylinder engine. T he compressor is m ounted to the engine by m ounting brackets (Fig. IB-6) an d is belt driven by the engine w hen the electromagnetic clutch assembly on the compressor is energized by the air conditioning controls. The purpose o f the compressor is to pum p low pressure, low tem perature refrigerant vapor produced by the evapo rator and compress it into a high pressure, high tem perature vapor which can then be readily condensed back to a liquid state by the condenser. The compressor has a displacement o f 10.0 cu. in. The compressor has variations in the pulley rim d iam eter specified for the respective vehicle applications. The basic compressor m echanism is a modified scotch yoke with four cylinders located radially in the same plane. Opposed pistons are pressed into a yoke which rides upon a slider block located on the shaft eccentric. Rotation o f the shaft provides reciprocating piston motion with no "connecting rods". The m echa­ nism is completely balanced with counterweights. Needle bearings are used for the shaft journals and the shaft eccentric. Pistons and yokes, along with the m ain cylinder housing an d fro nt cover, are m ade from alum in um to provide light weight. Teflon piston rings are used to provide both a gas compression seal and piston-to-bore bearing surface. The outer shell is a simple steel band which encloses a large annu lar discharge muffler space. Two O-rings provide a seal between the compressor shell and the compressor cylinder. A ru b b er seal ring seals the front head to the cylinder assembly and the sh aft seal assembly provides a front head to shaft seal. R efrigerant flows into the crankcase from the connector block at the rear, is draw n through the reeds attached to the piston top during the suction stroke, and is discharged outward through the discharge valve plate which is held in place at the top o f the cylinder by a snap ring. D ischarge gas flows out of the compressor muffler cavity through the connector block at the rear. Clutch Coil The clutch coil is molded into the steel coil housing an d must be replaced as a complete assembly. Three protrusions on the rear o f the housing fit into alignment holes in the compressor front head. The coil is secured to the front h e a d by a pressed fit between the coil housing and neck portion of the fron t head. The coil has 3.65 ohm s resistance at 26.1X1 (80 °F) am b ient and will require no m ore than 3.2 am peres at 12 volts D.C. The clutch coil has two terminals for the power and ground leads. shaft and is tightened against the shaft. The rotor and hub is a welded assembly and contains six threaded holes for mounting the pulley rim. The pulley rim is secured to the rear portion o f the rotor by six screws and six special lock washers. A two-row ball bearing is pressed into the rotor hub and held in place by three punch stakes, 1200 apart, into the rotor hub near the hub bore. The entire clutch coil, pulley rim, rotor and bearing assembly is pressed on the front head o f the compressor and secured by a retainer ring. W hen power is supplied to the clutch coil the arm ature plate o f the drive plate and hub assembly electromagnetically engages the slotted portion o f the rotor face which then drives the crankshaft through the drive plate leaf springs and hub. Refrigerant Lines Special refrigerant hose lines are required to carry the refrigerant liquid and vapor between the various system components. The hose line with the smallest diam eter is called the high pressure liquid line. It is routed from the condenser or receiver-dehydrator to the evaporator or thermostatic expansion valve. The large diam eter hose line connecting the compressor and evaporator (or accumulator) is the low pressure vapor line. The large diam eter hose between the compressor and condenser is the high pressure vapor discharge line. These hoses are constructed with a synthetic material core covered by a woven fabric and coated for extra protection. This hose is so constructed to withstand the extreme pressures and temperatures found in the m odern refrigeration system. None but special refriger­ ant type hoses should be used. All systems make use o f swaged type connections (hose to metal fittings) with metal to metai fittings being m ade using " O " rings. Care must be taken when making these connections that they not be turned down too tightly or dam age to the " O " rings m ay result. Flexible refrigerant hoses should not be permitted to contact the hot engine manifold nor should they be bent into a radius o f less than 4 times their diameter. M uffler A muffler, located in the high pressure line from the compressor to the condenser, serves as a surge cham ber for high pressure gas to reduce the noise level o f the system while in operation. The muffler is actually a welded portion of the compressor connector assembly. It is found on all truck air contiioning systems. C lutch-Pulley The m ovable part o f the clutch drive plate is in f ro n t of an d adjacent to the rotor and bearing assembly. T he arm a tu re plate, the movable m ember, is attached to the drive hub through driver springs riveted to both m em bers. The hub of the drive plate is pressed on the com pressor sh a ft and keyed to the shaft by a square drive key. A self-locking nut threads on the end o f the Fan Slip Clutch A special engine fan is used on most systems. It is a 19.5 inch six or seven bladed fan, limited by means o f a viscous clutch to a m axim um speed o f 3400-3700 rpm, regardless of the speed o f the engine. The silicone fluid in the clutch transmits only enough torque to drive the fan at this limited speed, thus avoiding excessive noise 1. Screw 20. B e lle v ille W a s h e r 2. Locking W a s h e r 21.

Condenser In a properly charged system, the condenser delivers sub-cooled liquid. This is because all the vapor condenses before the end o f the condenser and the rem aining portion o f the condenser subcools the liquid. Receiver-D ehydrator (G and M o to r Hom e Chassis M odels) The receiver-dehydrator, serving as a reservoir for storage o f high pressure liquid produced in the condenser, incorporates a screen sack filled with the dehydrating agent. OUTLET Fig. IB 6- Compressor M ou n tin g - L6 Engine T he receiver-dehydrator, used prim arily as a liquid storage tank, also functions to trap minute quantities of moisture and foreign material which may have rem ained in the system after installation or service operations. A re frig e ran t sight glass is bult into the receiverd e h y d ra to r to be used as a quick check o f the state and condition o f charge o f the entire system. The receiverd eh y d ra to r is mounted near the condenser. S ig h t Glass (G and M o to r Hom e Chassis Models) W hile having no real function to perform in the system, the sight glass is a valuable aid in determ ining w heth er or not the refrigerant charge is sufficient and for elim inating some guess work in diagnosing difficulties. The sight glass, is built into the receiver-dehydrator outlet connection and is designed and located so that a shortage of refrigerant at this point will be indicated by the appearance o f bubbles beneath the glass. The dust cap provided should be kept in place when the sight glass is not in use. T h erm o static Expansion Valve (Fig. IB -7 ) C-K Overhead, G C60 and O verhead and Motor Home Chassis systems use a thermostatic expansion valve in place o f a float system. The valve consists prim arily o f the power element, body, actuating pins, seat an d orifice. At the high pressure liquid inlet, is a fine mesh screen which prevents dirt, filings or other foreign m atter from entering the valve orifice. W hen the valve is connected in the system, high pressure liquid refrigeran t enters the valve through the screen from the receiver-dehydrator or condenser and passes on to the seat an d orifice. Upon passing through the orifice the high pressure liquid becomes low pressure liquid. T he low pressure liquid leaves the valve and flows into the e vaporator core where it absorbs heat from the e vapo rato r core and changes to a low pressure vapor. Fig. lB-7--Expansion Valve and leaves the evaporator core as such. The power element bulb is clamped to the low pressure vapor line just beyond the outlet o f the evaporator (fig. IB-7). The operation o f the valve is quite simple. It is a matter o f controlling opposing forces produced by a spring and the refrigerant pressures. For example: The pressure in the power element is trying to push the seat away from the orifice, while the adjusting spring is trying to force the seat toward the orifice. These opposing pressures are established in the design of the valve so that during idle periods the adjusting spring tension and the referigerant pressure in the cooling coil are always greater than the opposing pressure in the power element. Therefore, the valve rem ains closed. W hen the compressor is started, it will reduce the pressure and tem perature of the refrigerant in the cooling coil to a point where the vapor pressure in the power element becomes the stronger. The seat then moves off the orifice and liquid starts to flow through the valve orifice into the cooling coil. The purpose o f the power element is to help determ ine the quantity o f liquid that is being metered into the cooling coil. As the tem perature of the low pressure line changes at the blub, the pressure o f the vapor in the power element changes, resulting in a change o f the position o f the seat. For example if the cooling coil gets more liquid than is required, the tem perature o f the low pressure line is reduced and the resultant lowering o f the bulb tem perature reduces the pressure o f the vapor in the power element, allowing the seat to move closer to the orifice. This immediately reduces the am ount of liquid leaving the valve. Under norm al operation, the power element provides accurate control o f the quantity o f refrigerant to the cooling coil. To employ our tire pu m p analogy once more for clarity, it is the same situation that would exist if you were inflating a tire with a very slow leak. Providing you pu m p ed the air into the tire as fast as it leaked out. you would be able to m aintain pressure even though the air would merely be circulating through the tire and leaking out through the puncture. A ccum u lato r-C -K M odels (Fig. IB -8 ) T he accumulator is located at the evaporator outlet. Its most im p ortant function is not to "accum ulate" although this too is im portant. Its prim ary function is to separate liquid retained from vapor, retain the liquid and release the vapor to the compressor. Thus, in and ideal accumulator with no oil bleed hole, an d in a correctly designed system, no liquid can get to the compressor. In an actual accumulator, there is some entrained liquid in the vapor stream to the compressor. The measure o f a good accumulator is how well it separates vapor from liquid and how little entrained liquid is released to the com pressor. Also, in an actual accumulator, an oil bleed hole is required to prevent trap ping o f oil in the bottom o f the accumulator; this oil bleed hole bleeds some liquid refrigerant as well. Therefore, flow out o f the accumulator to the compressor consists mostly of vapor with the addition of entrained liquid and liquid flow through the oil bleed hole. A bag o f desiccant (dehydrating agent) is located in the base of the accumulator as a moisture collecting device. N OTE: There is no sight glass in the accumulatorclutch cycle system. Expansion T ube-C -K Models Expansion tube flow rate depends on pressure difference and on subcooling; however, the flow rate is more sensitive to subcooling. The expansion tube is located in the evaporator inlet line (fig. IB-9). Therm ostatic Switch System tem perature is controlled by running the compressor intermittently, automatically turning it on and off as necessary to m aintain proper temperatures. The compressor is started and stopped through the use o f an electro-magnetic clutch and a thermostat affected by variations in temperature. The thermostatic switch incorporates a metallic tube which contains a highly expansive gas. This tube is inserted into the evaporator inlet line (C-K Four-Season System) or is located in the air stream as it leaves the evaporator (Motor Home Chassis Unit). The tube leads to a bellows operated switch. As air tempeature rises, the gas inside the tube expands, travels through the tube to the bellows and closes the electrical switch which engages the compressor clutch. As soon as the compressor starts running, the tem perature begins to go down. As the air being cooled gets colder, the gas in the thermostatic tube begins to reduce the pressure on the switch bellows. This allows the X T * switch contact disengages. to open and the compressor clutch Low R efrigerant Charge P rotection System C-K-G Models The compressor discharge pressure switch perform s the function o f shutting off the compressor when it senses low refrig erant pressure. The switch is located in the evaporator inlet line (high pressure). The switch electrically is wired in series between the compressor clutch and the master switch on the control. W hen the switch senses low pressure it breaks contact and opens the circuit to the compressor clutch, thus shutting off the A / C system an d preventing compressor failure or seizure. The compressor discharge pressure switch also perform s the function o f the am bient switch as the pressure at the switch varies directly with am bient tempeatures. The compressor should not run below -3 .91 (25 °F) am bient or 37 psi at the switch. The compressor should run in A / C modes above 7.2 C (45 F) a m b ien t or 42 psi at the switch. T he switch interacts with other switches so that in an A / C system where the compressor will not operate above 12 °C (45 °F) am bient the following components should be checked for continuity: 1. Compressor discharge pressure switch. 2. Master switch (on control head). If both switches show proper continuity, check the harness for shorts or im proper ground conditions. SYSTEM CONTROLS FOUR-SEASON SYSTEM (C-K M O DELS) FIG. IB -1 0 The system selector lever (air control lever) determ ines the mode o f operation: OFF, MAX, N O R M , BI-LEVEL, VENT, HEATER, DEF. W hen the system selector lever is placed in the MAX, N O R M , BI-LEVEL or DEF. positions, electical circuit connection is made to the compressor clutch through the control panel switch and the discharge pressure switch. If the compressor discharge pressure switch is closed (am bient tem perature above approxim ately 5 . 5 ^ (42 T ) , the compressor will run. In the O FF, or EC O N O M Y , (VENT or HEATER) positions, the compressor is not energized. The system selector lever also determ ines the direction o f outlet air flow. Moving the lever from mode to mode varies the position o f a sliding-type vacuum valve on the control. The position o f the vacuum valve will supply vacuum to, or vent, vacuum diaphragm s which position the upper and lower mode and defroster air doors in the selector duct assembly. The position of these air doors determines if output air flow is from heater outlet (OFF), the heater outlet with slight air flow from defroster nozzles (HEATER), heater and A /C outlets (VENT), A / C outlets only at MAX and N O R M , heater. A /C and defroster outlets (BI-LEVEL) or the defroster nozzles with slight air flow from the heater outlet (DEF). W hen the system is in M AX A /C mode and the tem perature lever is at full CO LD the air inlet door is positioned to reduce the supply o f outside air from a p p ro x im a tely 100% to a p p rox im ately 20%. The re m ain der of the air input 80% to the A /C system is then taken from the interior o f the passenger compartment. This recirculation o f interior air (recirc operation) provides a source of fast cool down of interior temperatures. A switch connected to the selector lever overrides the blower (F A N ) switch (in MAX A /C ) and automatically provides high blower speed. Tem perature Control The tem perature lever determines the temperature of outlet airflow by positioning the tem peature door in the slector duct assembly, through the motion of a bowden cable linking the control panel lever to the tem perature door. NOTE: An engine thermal switch prevents LO blower operation until the tem perature at the switch reaches 3 5 1 (95 °F). This blower delay can be by-passed by placing the fan switch in any of the other three positions. Fan Switch The blower (FA N ) switch provides a means of selecting! th e 'a m o u n t o f airflow from the system by regulating the speed o f the blower motor. There are, however, limitations to the control of blower speed. To provide constant ventilation, the blower m otor electrical circuitry prevents the blower motor from being shut off w hen the ignition switch is on. Therefore, the blower speeds available are HI, LO and two m edium speeds. The control m aster switch incorporates a n "over­ ride " function which overrides the blower speed switch and automatically provides HI blower speed when the system selector lever is in MAX and the temperature lever is set to full COLD.

T he fan switch is mounted in the instrum ent panel, to the right o f the steering coloumn (fig. IB-13. In the O F F position, the blower is inoperative; however, refrigerant is circulating in the system if the Four-Season System is ON.

W hen the system selector lever is placed in the A /C , positions, electrical circuit connection is m ade to the compressor clutch through the control panel switch and the discharge pressure switch. If the switch is closed (am bient tem perature above 4 .4 XI.), the compressor will run. In the O FF, HEAT, D E F O G or D E F positions, the compressor is not energized. The system selector lever also determines the direction o f outlet air flow. M oving the lever from mode to mode varies the position o f a rotary vacuum valve on the control. The position o f the vacuum valve will supply vacuum to, or vent, vacuum diaph rag m s which position the air and defroster doors in the heater distributor duct and the outside air door in the right side o f the cowl plenum. The position o f these doors determines if ouput air flow is from the A / C outlets using recirc air (MAX), or recirc and outside air (N O R M ), the heater outlet (HEAT), heater and defroster outlets (D E FO G ), or the defroster nozzles with slight air flow from the heater outlet (DEF). The blower (FAN ) switch provides a means of selecting the am ount o f air flow from the system by regulating the speed of the heater or A /C blower motor. There is no O F F position on the fa n switch; however the blower is inoperative if the selector lever is placed in the O F F position. If the selector lever is placed in any of the heater or A /C modes, the appropriate blower is operative. The blower speeds available are LO, M l, M2 and HI. O VERHEAD SYSTEM (G MODELS) This system opeates in conjunction with the C60 system. Since refrigerant is controlled by the C60 system, the only control provided on the rear overhead system is a three speed blower switch (fig. 1B -15).

Hose Clam ps W h e n hose clamp connections are encountered, special procedures are necessary for both removal and installation. Removal Fig. IB-17- Hose Clamp Connections 1. Carefully, with a sharp knife, make an angle cut in the hose as shown in Figure IB -17. This should loosen the hose so that it may be worked off the fittings. 2. Cut off slit end of hose. CAUTION: Use only approved refrigeration hose. Never use heater hose. Use extereme care not to nick or score the sealing beads when cutting o ff the hose. Cutting the hose lengthwise m ay result in this problem. Installation 1. Coat tube and hose with clean refrigeration oil. 2. Carefully insert hose over the three beads on the fitting and down as fa r as the fourth, or locating bead. Hose must butt against this fourth bead. CAUTION: Use no sealer o f any kind. 3. Install clamps on hose, hooking the locating arms over the cut end o f the hose. 4. Tighten the hose clamp screw to 35-42 in. lbs. torque. DO N O T R E T O R Q U E . The clamp screw torque will normally decrease as the hose conform s to the force o f the clamp. The screw should be retorqued only if its torque falls below 10 in. lbs.

N O T E : R esonant com pressor noises are not cause for alarm ; however, irregular noise or rattles m ay indicate broken parts or excessive clearances due to wear. To check seizure, de-energize the magnetic clutch and check to see if drive plate can be rotated. If rotation is impossible, compressor is seized (See "False C om pressor Seizure"). To check for a leak, refer to leak testing in the service m anual. Low discharge pressure m ay be due to a faulty internal seal o f the compressor, or a restriction in the compressor. Low discharge pressure m ay also be due to an insufficient refrigerant charge or a restriction elsewhere in the system. These possibilities should be checked prior to servicing the compressor. If the compressor is inoperative, but is not seized, check to see if current is being supplied to the magnetic clutch coil terminals. CO NDENSER A condenser may be defective in two ways: it may leak, or it may be restricted. A condenser restriction will result in excessive compressor discharge pressure. If a partial restriction is present, sometimes ice or frost will form im m ediately after the restriction as the refrigerant expands after passing through the restriction. If air flow through the condenser or rad ia to r is blocked, high discharge pressures will result. D uring norm al condenser operation, the outlet pipe will be slightly cooler than the inlet pipe. RECEIVER-DEHYD RATO R A defective receiver-dehydrator may be due to a restriction inside the body o f the unit. A restriction at the inlet to the receiver-dehydrator will cause high head pressures. Outlet tube restrictions will be indicated by low head pressures and little or no cooling. An excessively cold receiver-dehydrator outlet may be indicative o f a restriction. E X P A N S IO N VALVE A m alfunction o f the expansion valve will be caused by one o f the following conditions: valve stuck open, valve stuck closed, broken power element, a restricted screen o r an im properly located or installed power elem ent bult. The first three conditions require valve replacement. The last two may be corrected by replacing the valve inlet screen and by properly installing the power element bulb. Attachment o f the expansion valve bulb to the evaporator outlet line is very critical. The bulb must be attached tightly to the line and must make good contact with the line along the entire length of the bulb. A loose bulb will result in high low side pressures and poor cooling. Indications o f expansion valve trouble are provided by Perform ance Tests; consult Diagnostic Charts. VALVE STU CK OPEN NOISY COM PRESSOR. N o Cooling - Freeze Up.

Diagnosis for Defective Valve The following procedure must be followed to determine if a malfunction is due to a defective expansion valve. 1. Check to determ ine if the system will meet the perform ance test as outlined previously. If the expansion valve is defective, the low pressure readings (evaporator pressure) will be above specifications. 2. The loss o f system perform ance is not as evident when the compressor head pressure is below 200 psi. Therefore, it m ay be necessary to increase the system head pressure by partially blocking the condenser. Disconnect the blower lead wire and repeat the "perform ance check" to determ ine if the evaporator pressure can be obtained. 3. The system will also indicate a low refrigerant charge by bubbles occurring in the sight glass. EVAPO RATOR W hen the evaporator is defective, the trouble will show up as an inadequate supply o f cool air. A partially plugged core due to dirt, a cracked case, or a leaking seal will generally be the cause. REFR IG ER A N T LINE R E S TR IC TIO N S Restrictions in the refrigerant lines will be indicated as follows: 1. Suction Line - A restricted suction line will cause low suction pressure at the compressor, low discharge pressure and iittle or no cooling. 2. Discharge Line - A restriction in the discharge line generally will cause the pressure relief valve to open. 3. Liquid Line - A liquid line restriction will be evidenced by low discharge and suction pressure, and insufficient cooling. S ight Glass Diagnosis (G and M o to r Hom e Chassis U nits) At tem peratures higher than 21 XT (70 degrees F), the sight glass may indicate w heter the refrigerant charge is sufficient. A shortage o f liquid refrigerant is indicated after above five minutes o f compressor operation by the appearance o f slow-moving bubbles (vapor) or a broken column o f refrigerant under the glass. Continuous bubbles m ay app ea r in a properly ch arged system on a cool day. This is a no rm al situation. If the sight glass is generally clear and perform ance is satisfactory, occasional bubbles do not indicate refriger­ an t shortage. If the sight glass consistently shows foam ing or a broken liquid column, it should be observed after partially blocking the air to the condenser. If under this condition the sight glass clears and the perform ance is otherwise satisfactory, the charge shall be considered adequate. In all instances w here the indications o f refrigeran t shortage continues, additional refrigerant should be added in 1/4 lb. increments until the sight glass is clear. A n additional charge o f 1/2 lb. should be added as a reserve after the glass clears. In no case should the system be overcharged. VACUUM SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS (C-K-G FOUR-SEASON SYSTEM ) Start the engine and allow it to idle - move the selector lever to each position and refer to the vacuum d iagram s and operational charts for proper airflow, air door functioning and vacuum circuits. If air flow is not out of the proper outlets at each selector lever position, then proceed as follows: 1. Check for good hose co nn ectio ns-at the vacuum actuators, control head valve, reservoir, tees, etc. 2. Check the vacuum source circuit as follows: Install vacuum tee and gauge (with restrictor) at the vacuum tank outlet (see V acuum D iagram ). Idle the engine and read the vacuum (a norm al vacuum is equivalent to manifold vacuum) at all selector lever positions. a. Vacuum Less Than N orm al At All PositionsRemove the tee and connect the vacuum gauge line directly to the tank - read the vacuum. If still low, then the problem lies in the feed circuit, the feed circuit to the tank or in the tank itself. If vacuum is now normal, then the problem lies downstream. b. Vacuum Less T han N orm al at Some Posi­ tio n s - If vacuum was low at one or several o f the selector lever positions, a leak is indicated in these circuits. c. Vacuum N orm al at Alt P osition sIf vacuum was norm al and even at all positions, then the m alfunction is probably caused by improperly connected or plugged defective vacuum valve or valves. lines or a 3. Specific Vacuum Circuit Check Place the selector lever in the m alfunctioning position and check for vacuum at the pertinent vacuum actuators. If vacuum exists at the actuator but the door does not move, then the actuator is defective or the door is mechanically bound. If low or no vacuum exists at the actuator, then the next step is to determ ine w hether the cause is the vacuum harness or the vacuum valve. Check the vacuum harness first. Vacuum Harness Circuit Check 4. a. Disconnect the vacuum harness at the control head. b. The black line ( # 1 ) should show engine vacuum - if not, trace back through connector to vacuum tank. c. To check any individual circuit place the selector lever at the involved circuit position and check for vacuum presence. CHECK IN G SYSTEM O P ER A TIO N 1. O perate system for a maxim um o f five minutes at maximum cooling, high blower speed and with engine operating at 2000 R P M (exhaust should be vented if inside). 2. W hen system is stabilized, the pressure gauges on the charging station should read pressures corre­ sponding to values listed under P E R F O R M A N C E DATA. 3. W hen correct system pressures are observed, check system charge as described under "R efrig era n t Quick Check Procedure". 4. Feel outlet air distribution to ensure that cold air is being distributed. 5. Disconnect gauge lines and cap fittings. C A U TIO N : When removing gauge lines fr o m fittings, be sure to remove the adapters fro m the fittings rather than the gauge lines fr o m the adapters. PER FO R M A N C E TEST U n d e r norm al circumstances, it will not be necessary to Perform ance Test a sytem as outlined below; however, in certain instances, the following procedure may be advantageous in diagnosing system malfunction. The following fixed conditions must be adhered to in order to make it possible to compare the perform ance o f the system being tested with the standards below: 1. Doors and window closed. (Vehicle inside or in shade.) 2. Hood up and engine exhaust suitably ventilated. 3. Vehicle in N E U T R A L with engine running at 2000 rpm. 4.

However, it is im po rtan t to rem e m be r that low pressure has a direct relationship to nozzle outlet temperature. If pressure is too low, ice will gradually form on the evaporato r fins, restricting air flow into the passenger area and resulting in insufficient or no cooling.

N O T E: The oil may app e a r foamy. This is considered normal. To further check the compressor oil charge, should the above test show insufficient oil, it is necessary to remove the compressor from the vehicle, drain and m easure the oil as outlined under "C hecking Compressor Oil C h arg e." 4. In the event that it is not possible to idle the compressor as outlined in Step 1 to effect oil return to it, proceed as follows: a. Remove the compressor, drain, measure and discard the oil. b. If the am ount drained is more than 1-1/2 C hecking Com pressor Oil Charge fluid oz. and the system shows no signs of a m ajor leak, 1. Run the system for 10 minutes at 500-600 engine rpm with controls set for m axim um cooling and high blower speed. 2. T urn off engine, discharge the system, remove compressor from vehicle, place it in a horizontal position with the drain plug downward. Remove the drain plug and, tipping the compressor back and forth and rotating the compressor shaft, d rain the oil into a clean container, m easure and discard the oil. 3. Add new refrigeration oil to the compressor as follows. a. If the quantity drained was 4 fluid oz. or more, add the same am ou nt of new refrigeration oil to the replacem ent compressor. b. If the quantity drained was less than 4 fluid oz., add 6 fluid oz. of new refrigeration oil to the replacem ent compressor. c. If a new service compressor is being installed, drain all oil from it an d replace only the am ount specified in Steps 3a and 3b above. d. If a field repaired compressor is being installed, add one additional fluid oz. to the compressor. add the same am ount to the replacement compressor. c. If the am ount drained is less than 1-1/2 fluid oz. and the system appears to have lost an excessive am ount o f oil, add 6 fluid oz. of clean refrigeration oil to replacement compressor, 7 fluid oz. to a repaired compressor. If the oil contains chips or other foreign material, replace the receiver-dehydrator (expan­ sion tube on C-K models) and flush or replace all com ponent parts as necessary. A dd the full specified volume o f new refrigeraton oil to the replacement compressor. 5. Add additional oil in the following amounts for any system components being replaced. Evaporator C o r e ................................... 3 fluid oz. C o n d e n s e r.... :......................................... 1 fluid oz. R eceiv er-D eh y d rato r........................... 1 fluid oz. A ccu m u la to r........................................... 1 fluid oz. C A U TIO N : When adding oil to the compressor, it will be necessary to tilt the rear end o f the compressor up so that the oil will not run out o f the suction and discharge prots. Do not set the compressor on the shaft end. REFRIGERANT Q U IC K -C H EC K PROCEDURE The following procedure can be used to quickly determ ine w hether or not an air conditioning system has a proper charge o f refrigerant. This check can be m ade in a m anner of m inutes thus facilitating system diagnosis by pinpointing the problem to the am ount of charge in the system or by elim inating this possibility from the overall checkout.

Induce 1/ 2 # of refrigerant in system (if system will n o t accept charge, start engine and draw 1 /2 # in through low p r e s s u r e s id e ) . Check system with leak detector. Even though a differential is noted, there exists a possibility o f overcharge. An overfilled system will result in poor cooling dur­ ing low speed operation (as a result of excessive head pressure). An overfill is easily checked by dis­ connecting the com pressor c l u tc h connector while observing the sight glass. I I If refrigerant in sight glass remains clear for more than 45 seconds (before foaming and then settling away from sight glass) an overcharge is indicated. Verify with a perform ance check. If refrigerant foams and then settles away from sight glass in less than 45 seconds, it can be assumed that there is a proper charge of refrigerant in system . C ontinue checking out system using perfor­ m a n c e checks outlined previously. Fig. IB -3 0 Checking Evaporator Inlet and A cu um ulator O utlet Tem peratures ON VEHICLE SERVICE T H E R M O S T A T IC S W ITCH C-K Systems and Motor Home Chassis Units make use o f a therm ostatic switch with either an air or evapo rator inlet line sensing capillary. This capillary controls the switch by sensing the tem perature o f the air leaving the evaporator core (M otor Home Units) or tem perature o f the core fins (C-K models). Checking for Proper Operation M o to r Hom e Chassis Units 1. Install the gauge set and set up the vehicle as described un der "P erfo rm an ce Test." 2. M ovem ent o f the tem perature control knob should result in a definite change in suction pressure and cycling o f the compressor clutch. • If compressor continued to operate regardless o f the knob adjustment, it indicates that the switch points are fused which will lead to evaporator freeze-up. Replace the switch. • If the compressor does not operate, regardless o f the position o f the knob, a loss o f the power element charge is indicated (provided that it has been established that power is supplied to the switch). This, o f course, results in no cooling. Replace the switch. C-K Models 1. Install the gauge set and set up the vehicle as described under "P erfo rm an ce Test". 2. Set the control at A /C , HI blower, max C O LD and run the engine at 2000 rpm. • The thermostatic switch should cycle the compressor off when the low limit o f the outlet air tem perature is reached (see Peformance Data). If it does not, the switch points are fused which will lead to evaporator freeze up. Replace the switch. • If the compressor does not operate, a loss of power element charge is indicated (provided that it has been established that power is supplied to the switch). This, of course, results in no cooling. Replace the switch. N OTE: Do not attem pt to run a Performance Check with the system disassembled since inaccu­ rate readings would be the result. ALWAYS reinstall switch and capillary and any duct work before run ning a perform ance check. A M P LIFIE R BOARD P O TE N TIO M E TE R (Fig. IB -3 1 ) To cure a "too cold" or "not cold e n o ug h" capacity complaint, the sensor should be simulated by a 400 ± 1%, 1/2 W att resistor. By connecting the resistor as shown in Figure IB-31, the control pot can be rotated until the compressor clutch energizes. The procedure is as follows: 1. Remove the headlam p switch knob and then remove the instrum ent panel bezel. 2. Remove the control to instrum ent panel screws. 3. Rem ove the left foot cooler bracket to instrument panel reinforcement screws and remove the foot cooler and duct. 4. With the system in the vehicle and the engine running, disconnect the terminals F and J from the connector at the control wiring harness connector. 5. Connect a 400 ohm ± 1% , 1/2 W att resistor across terminals F and J. 6. Set the control tem perature lever at C O LD and then adjust by rotating the pot until the compressor clutch engages. 7. Reverse the adjustm ent by carefully rotating the pot until the compressor clutch just disengages. 8. Reverse Steps l -4 above and check system operation. C A P I L L A R Y BULB E XP A N SIO N VALVE (Fig. IB -3 2 ) An expansion valve is used on C-K Model Overhead Systems, all G Model systems and Motor Home Chassis Units. A malfunction o f the expansion valve will be caused by one o f the following conditions; valve stuck open, valve stuck closed, broken power element, a restricted screen or an im properly located or installed power elem ent bulb. A ttachm ent of the expansion valve bulb to the e v ap orator outlet pipe is very critical. The bulb must be attached tightly to the pipe and must make good contact with the pipe along the entire length of the bulb. A loose bulb will result in high " h ig h side" pressures and poor cooling. Indications o f expansion valve trouble provided by the P erform ance Test are as follows" VALVE S T U C K OPEN Noisy Compressor. N o Cooling - Freeze Up.

Check for Defective Valve The following procedure must be followed to determine if a malfunction is due to a defective expansion valve. 1. Check to determ ine if the system will meet the perform ance test as outlined previously. If the expansion valve is defective, the low pressure readings will be above specification. 2. The loss o f system performance is not as evident when the high side pressure is below 200 PSI. Therefore, it m ay be necessary to increase the system high side pressure by partially blocking the condenser. Disconnect the blower lead wire and repeat the "P erform ance Check" to determ ine if the low side pressure can be obtained. 3. The system will also indicate a low refrigerant charge by bubbles occurring in the sight glass.

Figure 2A-1 thru 2A-4 illustrates typical light duty truck fram es with crossmembers, body mounts and suspension attaching brackets. This section also includes general instructions for checking fram e alignment and recom m endations on frame repair. The G-Van fram e side rails, cross sills and outriggers are part o f the underbody assembly which is a welded unit. M isalignment o f the underbody can affect door opening fits and also influence the suspension system, causing suspension m isalignm ent. It is essential, therefore, that underbody alignment be exact to within 1/16" o f the specified dimensions. ON-VEHICLE SERVICE MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION UN D ER B O D Y IN S PE C TIO N Raise the vehicle on a hoist (preferably a twin-post type). Check for obvious floor pan deterioration. Check for loose dirt and rust around the inside of the floor pan reinforcem ent m em b er access holes. This is the first indication that corrosion may exist in hidden areas, and that repairs might be required before the final cleaning and protective treatm ent is performed. U sing a chisel, ensure that the drain provisions in the floor pan reinforcem ent m em bers are open. T here are drain holes in the body side panels also. These holes can be opened by using a punch or drift. The side panel drain holes are in the rear section o f the rocker panels, and in the lower rear quarter panels. FRAM E IN S PE C TIO N Raise the vehicle on a hoist (preferably a twin-post type). Check for obvious floor p an deterioration. Check for loose dirt and rust around the inside of the fram e rails, on top and at the ends where corrosion may exist in hidden areas. Check especially in the frame box sections for accumulation of debris. FRAME A L IG N M E N T Horizontal fram e checking can be m ade with tram m ing gauges applied directly to the fram e or by transferring selected points of measurem ent from the frame to the floor by means o f a plum bob and using the floor layout for measuring. Figure 2A-2 or 2A-4 may be used as a general guide in the selection o f checking points; however, selection o f these points is arbitrary d ep e n d in g on accessibility and convenience. An im portant point to rem em ber is that for each point selected on one side o f the frame, a corresponding point on the opposite side of the fram e must be used for vertical checks, opposite and alternate sides for horizontal checks. Vehicle Preparation Points to rem em ber when preparing vehicle for frame checking: 1. Place vehicle on a level surface. 2. Inspect dam ag ed areas for obvious frame misalignment to eliminate unnecessary measuring. 3. Support vehicle so that fram e sidemem bers are length. Opposite side m easurem ent should correspond parallel to the ground. within 3/16". 3. Measure diagonals marked A, B and C. If the Tram m ing Sequence (Fig. 2A -1) lengths o f intersecting diagonals are equal and these diagonals intersect the centerline, frame area included 1. D im ensions to bolts a n d / o r holes in fram e between these points o f m easurem ent may be considered extend to dead center of the hole or bolt. in alignment. 2. D imensions must be w ithin 3/16". 4. If front or rear end of fram e is dam ag ed and 3. If a tram b a r is used, for horizontal alignment width is no longer within limits, fram e centerline may be " X " - check from opposite and alternate reference points drawn through the intersection o f any two previously AA.

If fram e widths are not correct, layout centerline as shown in Step 4. 2. M easure distance from centerline to correspond­ ing points on each side o f fram e layout over entire 2A-4). For example, if the tram bar is set at point B with a vertical pointer length o f 8-1/4 inches, and at point E with a vertical pointer length of 5-1/4 inches (a height difference o f 3 inches), the tram bar should be parallel with the frame. If the area is twisted or misaligned in any way, tram bar will not be parallel. Placing the tram bar vertical pointers on opposite sides o f the fram e side rail is preferable in that fram e twist will show up during this vertical check.

FRAME DESIGN VARIES ACCORDING TO TRUCK MODEL Fig. 2A-2--C-K-P Series Truck Frame checking points, with dimensions for various frames shown in figure 2A-3. Fram e Repair Welding Before welding up a crack in frame, a hole should be drilled at the starting point o f the crack to prevent spreading. W id en V groove crack to allow complete weld penetration. N O T E: Do not weld into corners o f fram e or along edges o f side rail flanges. W elding at these points will tend to weaken the fram e and encourage new cracks. Bolting W herever rivets or failed bolts are replaced, bolt hole must be as n e ar the O.D. o f the bolt as possible to prevent bolt from w orking and wearing. Drill out and line ream hole (or holes) to the bolt O.D. U N D ER B O D Y A L IG N M E N T O ne m ethod o f d eterm ining the alignm ent of the u n derbo dy is with a tram gauge which should be sufficiently felxible to o btain all necessary measurements up to three quarters the length o f the vehicle. A good tra m m in g tool is essential for analyzing and determ ining the extent o f collision m isa lig n m e n t p resent in underbo dy construction. M E A S U R IN G To measure the distance accurately between any two reference points on the underbody, two specifications are required. 1. The horizontal dimension between the two points to be trammed. 2. The vertical dim ension from the datu m line to the points to be trammed. The tram bar should be on a parallel to that o f the body plane. The exception to this would be when one o f the reference locations is included in the misaligned area; then the parallel plane between the body and the tram bar may not prevail. A fter completion of the repairs, the tram gauge should be set at the specified dimension to check the accuracy o f the repair operation. EXCESSIVE BODY DAM AG E If dam age is so extensive that key locations are not suitable as reference points, rep air operations should always begin with the underbody area. All other components should be aligned progressively from this area. Unlike the conventional type of fram e design, the unitized type o f body construction seldom develops the two conditions o f "twist" and " d ia m o n d " in the underbody area as a result o f front or rear end collisions, therefore, there usually is an u n dam ag ed area suitable as a beginning reference point.

W O O D G R A IN A PPLIQ U E IN S T A L L A T IO N PRO CEDURE Genera! The wood grain applique (transfer film) is a vinyl m aterial with a pressure sensitive adhesive backing. The transfers are serviced in pre-cut panels. The transfers are designed with an appealing wood grain pattern and a 50 degree or semi-gloss finish. P reparation o f the surface to which the transfer will be applied is very im portant. In cases where body metal rep air has been m ade it is necessary to prime and color coat these areas to blend with the undam aged surface. Fig. 2C-18 Front End Sheet M etal Checking—G Series Apply the transfer film to color coated panels only, never to bare metal or primer. The surface must be free o f any im perfections that might high-light through the film. Remove dirt nibs and other foreign material in the paint by light sanding with 600 grit sandpaper. The tem perature of the body must be m aintained at a moderate level between approximately 70 and 90 degrees. Too warm a body will cause the wood grain film to stick prem aturely while too cool a body will reduce the adhesion o f the wood grain film. Cool the body panel with cool water when too warm and heat the body panel with a heat gun or a heat lamp w hen too cold. Transfers should not be replaced in temperatures below 65 degrees Fahrenheit. The transfer should not be subjected to temperature greater than 175 °F and should not be left at or near this tem perature for extended periods of time. Fig. 2C 19 Fender S kirt, Dash and Toe Pan—P Series S h elf life of the transfer material is 90 days at a tem perature not to exceed 105 F. Removal Remove the moldings from the affected panel. The transfer film may then be removed by lifting an edge and peeling the material from the painted surface. Exercise care so as not to da m a ge the paint. Application o f heat to the transfer and the panel by means o f a heat gun or heat lam p will aid in the removal. Installation 1. With a solvent d a m p e n e d sponge, clean entire surface to be covered with applique. 2. W ipe area dry with a clean cloth. 3. Prior to application of transfer, wet down the complete transfer surface o f the fender with a solution o f 1/4 oz. of neutral detergent cleaner (must not contain oils, perfumes, or bleaches) per gallon o f clear water. It is essential that no substitute for this solution be used and tha t the specified proportions be maintained. 4. While entire area is still wet with solution. remove pap er backing from transfer and align upper edge with pierced holes in fender and press on lightly. 5. Start at center o f transfer and squeeze outboard from middle to edges removing all air bubbles and wetting solution to assure a satisfactory bond. Use teflonbacked plastic squeegee only. 6. Notch applique at fender rear contour bend areas with scissors. Also notch out front m ark er lamp. 7. Fold ends o f applique over fender flanges using squeegee. Heat the wrap-around area o f applique with a heat lamp or gun to approximately 90 T and press with squeegee to secure entire edge surface. 8. If the w rap-around of the transfer has trouble sticking to fender edges, brush vinyl adhesive onto the fender or transfer area. Allow the adhesive to set for one minute then press transfer to fender for adhesion. 9. Inspect transfer installation from critical angle using adequate light reflection to detect any irregularities that may have developed during installation. Remove all air or moisture bubbles by piercing each at an acute angle with a fine pin or needle and by pressing the bubble down. 10. Install previously removed parts and clean up vehicle as required.

W IN D S H IE L D GLASS T he windshield is a one-piece type and is retained in the windshield opening by a molded rub ber weatherstrip. See figure 2D-13. W hen replacing a cracked windshield glass, it is very im p o rta n t that the cause o f the glass breakage be determ ined and the condition corrected before a new glass is installed. Otherwise, it is highly possible that a small obstruction or high spot somewhere around the windshield o pening will continue to crack or break the newly installed windshield especially w hen the strain on the glass caused by this obstruction is increased by such conditions as wind pressures, extremes of temperature, motion o f the vehicle, etc. NOTE: T he p rocedu re for rem oval of the VIEW A w in dsh ie ld applies to o th e r sta tio n a ry glass applications, such as in figures 2D-20 and 2D-21. Removal 1. Before removing the windshield, mark the location o f the break on the windshield rubb er channel and the body. Protect the pain t finish inside o f the cab. Mask around the windshield opening and outside, lay a suitable covering across the hood and fenders. N O T E : The windshield glass ru bb er w eatherstrip is one piece. The glass is held in a channel within the weatherstrip. 2. On vehicles w ithout reveal moldings, "u n z ip " the locking strip shown in figure 2D-18. 3. On vehicles with reveal moldings, remove reveal molding with tools show in figure 2D-19. 4. To free windshield r u b b e r channel of w eather­ strip loosen the lip of the windshield weatherstrip from the pinchweld flange along the top and at the sides by Fig. 2D-14--Applying Pressure to W indshield applying firm, controlled pressure to the edge o f the glass. At the same time assist the lip o f the rubber weatherstrip channel over the pinchweld flange with a flat bladed tool. See figures 2D-14 and 2D-15. 5. With the aid o f an assistant outside the cab, remove the windshield from the opening. See figure 2D16. Checking W indshield Opening Due to the expanse and contour of the windshield it is im perative in the event of a stress crack that the windshield opening be thoroughly checked before installing a replacement windshield. The replacement glass is used as a template. 1. Check for the following conditions at the previously marked point o f fracture. a. Chipped edges on glass. b. Irregularities in bodyopening. c. Irregularities in ru bb er channel weatherstrip. 2. Check flange area for solder, weld high spots, or hardened spot-weld sealer. Remove all high spots. 3. Check windshield glass to opening, by support­ ing glass with six spacers contained in packet J-22577. See figure 2D-17. C A U TIO N : Do not strike glass against body metal. Chipped edges on (he glass can lead to future breaks. 4. With the windshield supported and centered in its opening, check the relationship of the glass to the body opening flange around the entire perim eter of the glass. 5. Check the relationship o f glass to opening as follows: a. Inside edge o f glass to body flange. b. Outer edge of glass to parallel body metal. 6. M ark areas of body metal or flange to be reform ed remove glass and correct as necessary. 2ZBS Fig. 2D -17-C hecking W indshield Opening 7. Recheck windshield satisfactory proceed as follows: in its opening and if Installation 1. Place a protective covering over front fenders and hood, then apply soapy w ater to all grooves of the w eatherstrip. 2. Install w e a th e rstrip centrally to the body opening, with the pinchweld flange in the inner w eatherstrip groove. See figure 2D-18. N OTE: Because o f the configuration of the w eatherstrip and o f the im portance o f centrally locating the w eatherstrip in the body opening, it is not recomm ended to use the "cord-type" installa­ tion technique. 3. Position the lower edge o f the windsheild glas into the outer weatherstrip groove. Gently push the glass " in to " the weatherstrip, assisting rub ber over edge o f glass. 4. W hen glass is in position, lock the weatherstrip to the glass as follows: a. Base W eatherstrip - Bend the "locking strip" over and use a thin bladed tool to lock w eatherstrip tightly against windshield. See figure 2D-18 for detail. b. O ptional W eatherstrip - Use J - 2 189-24 and J - 2 189-23 in Handle J -2 189 to install flexible reveal m olding into locking slot o f weatherstrip, as shown in figure 2D-19. This will expand the w eatherstrip to a tight Fig. 2D 18 -Locking the W eatherstrip to the Glass fit against the windshield. Install reveal molding so that joint is at center o f lower edge of windshield. Cover the joint with the molding cap.

D oor alignm ent adjustments are made at the striker bolt, and at door hinges. The door, w hen properly located in door opening, will have .19 inch clearance at the top and side edges, and .25 inch clearance at the bottom. The door should be adjusted in the o pening so the edge of the door across the top and also at the lock side is parallel with the body opening as nearly as possible. Hinge Adjustm ent D o o r hinge bolt holes are oversized to make adjustm ent possible. A lignm ent adjustments can be m ade by loosening the proper hinge bolts, aligning door to pro p e r position, and tightening bolts securely. See figure 2D-22, for typical adjustments. Striker Bolt Adjustm ent With the use o f J-23457, shown in figure 2D-23. the striker bolt can be adjusted in any o f three ways. See figure 2D-24. 1. Up and down - To adjust striker up or down, loosen bolt, adjust to desired height, and tighten bolt securely. NOTE: This adjustm ent is im portant to assure that the right proportion o f d o o r’s weight will rest on striker bolt when door is closed. If bolt is positioned too high on pillar, rapid w ear will occur to the lock cam; if too low, an extra load will be placed on door hinges as well as pull door downward and out o f alignment. 2.

W hen cleaning this type of stain or soilage, care must be taken not to enlarge the soiled area. It is sometimes more desirable to have a small stain than an enlarged stain as a result of careless cleaning. CAUTION: When cleaning interior soft trim such as upholstery or carpeting, do not use volatile cleaning solvents such as: acetone, lacquer thinners, carbon tetrachloride, enamel reducers, nail polish removers; or such cleaning m aterials as laundry soaps, bleaches or reducing agents (except as noted in the instructions on stain removal). Never use gasoline or naphtha fo r any cleaning purpose. These materials may be toxic or flam m able, or m ay cause damage to interior trim. SEATS Cleaning Fabrics with Cleaning Fluid Care and Cleaning of Interior Soft Trim This type o f cleaner should be used for cleaning stains containing grease, oil or fats. Excess stain should be gently scraped oft' trim with a clean dull knife or Dust and loose dirt that accumulate on interior fabric trim should be removed frequently with a vacuum cleaner, whisk broom or soft brush. Vinyl or leather trim should be wiped clean with a d am p cloth. N orm al cleanable trim soilage, spots or stains can be cleaned with the pro per use o f trim cleaners available through G e n e ra l Motors dealers or other reputable supply outlets. Before attem pting to remove spots or stains from upholstery, determine as accurately as possible the nature and age o f the spot or stain. Some spots or stains can be removed satisfactorily with w ater or mild soap solution (refer to accom panying "R em oval o f Specific Stains"). For best results, spots or stains should be rem oved as soon as possible. Some types o f stains or soilage such as lipsticks, some inks, certain types of grease, mustard, etc., are extremely difficult and, in some scraper. Use very little cleaner, light pressure, and clean cloths (preferably cheese cloth). Cleaning action with cloth should be from outside of stain towards center and constantly changing to a clean section o f cloth. W hen stain is cleaned from fabric, im mediately wipe area briskly with a clean absorbent towel or cheese cloth to help dry area and prevent a cleaning ring. If ring forms, immediately clean entire area or panel section o f the trim assembly. NOTE: Sometimes a difficult spot may require a second application o f cleaning fluid followed Fig. 2D-78--Removable Top im m ediately by a soft brush to completely remove the spot. Cleaning Fabrics with D etergent Foam Cleaners This type o f cleaner is excellent for cleaning general soilage from fabrics and for cleaning a panel section w here a minor cleaning ring m ay be left from spot cleaning. Vacuum area to remove excess loose dirt. Always clean at least a full trim panel or section o f trim. Mask adjacent trim along stitch or weld lines.

W IN D S H IE L D GLASS The windshield is a one-piece type and is retained in the windshield opening by a moulded ru bb er w e a th e rstrip . This w e a th e rs trip is sealed in the w indshield opening and sealed to the windshield glass. See figure 2D-101. W hen replacing a cracked windshield glass, it is very im p o rta n t that the cause o f the glass breakage be determ ined and the condition corrected before a new glass is installed. Otherwise, it is highly possible that a small obstruction or high spot somewhere around the windshield opening will continue to crack or break the newly installed windshield, especially when the strain on the glass caused by this obstruction is increased by such conditions as wind pressures, extremes o f temperature, motion o f the vehicle, etc. The precedure for removal of the windshield applies to the complete windshield assembly and to other stationary glass, such as in figure 2D-104. Removal NOTE: Refer to figures 2D-14 to 2D-16 in the "CK Models" portion o f this section for illustration of removal technique. 3.

With the windshield supported and centered in its opening, check the relationship of the glass to the body opening flange around the entire perim eter o f the glass. 6. Check the relationship o f glass to opening as follows: a. Inside edge of glass to body flange. b. Outer edge o f glass to parallel body metal. 7. M ark areas o f body metal or flange to be reformed, remove glass and correct as necessary. 8. Recheck windshield in its opening and if satisfactory proceed as follows: Fig. 2 D -10 1 -W in d sh ie ld Glass 1. Before removing the windshield, mark the location o f the break on the windshield rubb er channel and the body. Protect the p a in t finish inside o f the cab.

M aintenan ce and Adjustments Specifications................................. 3 A- 1 3A-2 3A-6 GENERAL DESCRIPTION F R O N T A L IG N M E N T The term " f ro n t alig nm en t" refers to the angular relationships between the front wheels, the front suspension attaching parts and the ground. The pointing in or "toe-in " of the front wheels, the tilt of the front wheels from vertical (when viewed from the front of the vehicle) and the tilt o f the suspension m em bers from vertical (when viewed from the side of the vehicle), all these are involved in front alignment. The various factors that enter into front alignment are covered here each one under its own heading. CASTER Caster is the tilting o f the front steering axis either forward or backward from the vertical (when viewed from the side o f the vehicle). A backward tilt is said to be positive ( + ) and a forward tilt is said to be negative (-). O n the short and long arm type suspension you cannot see a caster angle without a special instrument, but you can understand that if you look straight down from the top o f the upper control arm to the ground you would lind that the ball joints do not line up (fore and aft) when a caster angle other than 0° is present. If you had a positive caster angle the lower ball joint would be slightly ahead (toward the front o f the vehicle) o f the upper ball jo in t center line. In short then, caster is the forward or backward tilt o f the steering axis as viewed from a side elevation. Caster is designed into the front axle assembly on all K series vehicles (l'our-wheel drive), an d is no n-adjustab le. See caster copy un d e r A D JU ST M EN TS. CAMBER Cam ber is the tilting of the front wheels from the vertical when viewed from the front o f the vehicle. W hen the wheels tilt outward at the top, the cam ber is said to be positive ( + ) . W hen the wheels tilt inward at the top, the cam ber is said to be negative (—). The am ount of tilt is measured in degrees from the vertical and this m easurem ent is called the c am ber angle. C am ber is designed into the front axle assembly o f all K series vehicles and is non-adjustable. See cam ber copy under A D JU ST M E N T S. TOE-IN Toe-in is the turning in o f the front wheels. The actual am ount o f toe-in is normally only a fraction of an inch. The purpose o f a toe specification is to ensure parallel rolling o f the front wheels. (Excessive toe-in or toe-out will cause tire wear). Toe-in also serves to offset the small deflections o f the wheel support system which occurs when the vehicle is rolling forward. In other words, even when the wheels are set to toe-in slightly when the vehicle is standing still, they tend to roll parallel on the road when the vehicle is moving. See toein copy under A D JU STM E N T S. S U B T R A C T S H IM S HERE '- T O IN C R E A S E C A STE R 2. Draw a graphic as in Fig. 3A-4 that is representative o f the fra m e angle (either " u p " in rear or "d ow n" in rear). 3. D eterm ine the caster angle from the alignment equipm ent and draw a line that is representative o f the caster reading. 4. To determine an "actual (corrected) caster re ad in g " with various fra m e angles and caster readings, one of the following rules applies: a.

This gear provides for ease o f handling by transmitting forces from the w orm shaft to the pitm an shaft through the use o f ball bearings. The steering column is connected to the steering g ear by a flexible coupling. This coupling incorporates a capturing strap which is designed to prevent column-to- coupling deflection from exceeding the length o f the coupling alignm ent pins. The trucks incorporate "F o rw ard Steering" whereas the steering linkage is located forward o f the front crossmember. Steering effort is transmitted to left and right hand adjustable tie rod through a relay rod. The relay rod is connected to an idler arm on the right and to the pitm an arm on the left. CONDITION Excessive Play or Looseness in Steering System. Excessive looseness in tie rod or intermediate rod pivots, or excessive vertical lash in idler support. POSSIBLE CAUSE CORRECTION Front wheel bearings loosely adjusted. Adjust bearings to obtain proper end play. Worn steering shaft couplings. Replace part. Worn upper ball joints. Check and replace if necessary. Steering wheel loose on shaft, loose pitman arm, tie rods, steering arms or steering linkage ball studs. Tighten to specified torque, or replace if necessary. Steering gear thrust bearings loosely adjusted. Adjust preload to specification. Excessive over-center lash in steering gear. Adjust preload to specification. Worn intermediate rod or tie rod sockets. Replace worn part. Seal damage and leakage resulting in loss of lubricant, corrosion and excessive wear. Replace damaged parts as necessary.

Pitman arm loose on shaft or steering gear mounting bolt loose. Tighten to specified torque. Loose or worn steering shaft bearing. Replace steering shaft bearing. Excessive over-center lash or worm thrust bearings adjusted too loose. Adjust steering gear to specified preloads. NOTE: On turns a slight rattle may occur, due to the increased lash between ball nut and pitman shaft as gear moves off the center of “high point” position. This is normal and lash must not be reduced to eliminate this slight rattle. Poor Returnability Steering column misaligned. Align column. Insufficient or improper lubricant in steering gear or front suspension. Lubricate as specified. Steering gear adjusted too tight. Adjust over-center and thrust bearing preload to specifications.

The "A ", "B", and " C " term inals on the tester will overhang the chassis connector. This does not affect the test results. These terminals are for vehicles with cornering lights. Connect the single black ju m p e r to a good ground. The tester is now ready for use (Fig. 3B -11). T U R N S IG N A L D IA G N O S IS C AN D K SERIES W hen a complaint is m ade involving the turn signal system, it must first be determ ined w hether the problem is mechanical o r electrical. If mechanical, the switch itself is at fault and must be repaired or replaced. If electrical, J-23980 should be used to determine whether the switch, or the chassis wiring is in need of rep air or replacement. This diagnostic procedure has been designed to guide the mechanic through the proper diagnosis and re p air of the turn signal system. The service section is to be used where assembly a n d / o r disassembly procedures are required. The wiring diagram , found in Section 12, should be used to trouble shoot the chassis and body wiring after the problem has been isolated. The nature o f the customer complaint will generally point to the problem area. Fig. 3 B -1 3 -Checking Harm onica Connector on Column Electrical Chassis Electrical The most common turn signal system problems are generally electrical and may easily, be fixed by the replacement of fuses, bulbs or flashers in both directions. If the lever does not return to the neutral position, disassemble the upper p art o f the column until the switch is visible. 2. Check the return from lane change by holding the lever in lane change and releasing (both left and right). If the lever does not return to neutral, disassemble the upper part o f the column. 3. If the hazard w arning button cannot depressed or released, the switch must be replaced. be Switch Visual Inspection 1. With the upper part of the column disassembled so that the signal switch is visible (Figure 3B-15) check for missing springs. Replace any spring that is missing, inspecting the molded pins which secure them. If these pins are broken, the switch must be replaced. 2. Check the position o f the switch in the bowl. If it appears cocked or crooked, loosen the securing screws (3) and visually inspect the switch. If any o f the plastic is broken or badly deform ed, the switch must be replaced. Fig. 3B -14-C hecking Hazard W arning Flasher First make these checks and replace any non­ operative components. 3. If the switch appears undam aged, replace it being careful to seat the pilot into the housing, tighten the screws to 25 lbs. in. o f torque. POWER STE ER IN G SYSTEM DIA G N O S IS 1. Check fu se s(F ig u re 3B-12). Replace if blown. If new fuse blows, replace flasher in system. (There are 2 flashers in the signal switch system. The hazard w arning flasher and turn signal flasher are located on the fuse block. 2. Check for secure connection at the chassis to switch connector. This is the harm onica connector on the column (Figure 3B-13). Secure if loose. Check all individual wire terminals for proper seating in the connector bodies. Term inals should be locked in place. 3. Depress hazard w arn in g button and check all lights in signal swritch system. Replace any which do not work. If all lamps light w hen hazard w arning is depressed, but flashing does not occur, replace hazard w a rning flasher. (On fuse block) (Figure 3B-14). 4. If all directional lamps light w hen lane change or turn indicator is actuated, but no flashing occurs, replace the turn signal flasher. T he above four steps will, in most cases, cure the com m on signal switch system troubles. If the system is still not operating correctly, use J-23980 to determine w h e th e r the chassis wiring or the signal switch itself is at fault. Complaints of faulty steering are frequently the result o f problems other than the steering gear or pump. Those areas o f the steering system which can be easily checked and quickly corrected without disassembly and overhaul of any m ajor components should be attempted first. Conditions such as hard or loose steering, road shock or vibrations are not always due to the steering gear or pump, but are often related instead to such factors low tire pressure and front end alignment. These factors should be checked and corrected before any M echanical 1. If the c u sto m e r’s c o m p la in t indicates the problem is in the switch, function check as to return from full left an d full right turns. Actuate the turn lever into a full turn position in e ither direction, then turn the steering wheel (motor on - power steering) at least 1/4 turn in the direction indicated and then back to center.

System Checks M any factors affect power operation o f the steering system, o f which the most com m on are: 1. Fluid level and condition. 2. Drive belt tension. 3. Loose c om ponent mountings. 4. Loose p u m p pulley. These factors must be checked and corrected before m aking any further diagnosis o f the steering system. The need for proper diagnosis cannot be over-emphasized. A fter the source o f the problem has been found, determ ine the cause. For example, if the oil level in the reservoir is found to be low, refill and check the entire hydraulic system for oil leaks. Refilling the reservoir will not necessarily correct problem. Fluid Level 1. R un engine to norm al operating temperature, then shut engine off. Remove reservoir filler cap and check oil level to " h o t" m ark on dipstick. 2. If oil level is low, add hydraulic fluid to proper level on dipstick and replace filler cap. N OTE: W hen a dd in g or making a complete fluid change, always use G M power steering fluid or equivalent. 3. W hen checking fluid level after the steering system has been serviced, air must be bled from the system. Proceed as follows: a. W ith wheels turned all the w ay to the left, add power steering fluid to "C o ld " mark on dipstick. b. Start engine, and run ning at fast idle, recheck fluid level. Add fluid if necessary to "C old" m ark on dipstick. c. Bleed system by turning wheels from side to side without hitting stops. M aintain fluid level just above internal p u m p casting. Fluid with air in it will have a light tan or red appearance. This air must be eliminated from fluid before norm al steering action can be obtained. d. Return wheels to center position and continue to run engine for two or three minutes, then shut engine off. e. Road test car to m ake sure steering functions normally and is free from noise. f. Recheck fluid level as described in steps 1 and 2, m aking sure fluid level is at " h o t" m ark on dipstick after the system has stabilized at its normal operating tem perature approximately 170° to 190°F. B elt Adjustm ent W hen adjusting a power steering p u m p belt, never pry against the pu m p reservoir or pull against the filler neck. To increase belt tension move the pu m p outward by prying against the p u m p housing casting extension directly behind the pum p drive pulley. A belt that has been previously tensioned is considered to be a used belt and should be tightened to 75 pounds. A belt that has never been tensioned is considered to be a new belt and should be tightened to 125 pounds. Place belt tension gage, J-23600 or equivalent midway between the pulleys on drive belt being checked. If the belt tension is incorrect proceed as follows: 1. W hen power steering pum p is driven by a single belt: a. Loosen the p u m p attaching bolts and adjust the belt to correct tension by moving the pu m p outward, away from the engine. b. Snug all pu m p mounting bolts and remove pry bar. c. Tighten all pum p mounting bolts to specified torque. d. Check belt tension and remove the belt tension gage. Hydraulic System Checks The following p rocedure outlines m ethods to identify and isolate power steering hydraulic circuit difficulties. The test provides means o f determ ining whether power steering system hydraulic parts are actually faulty. This test will result in readings indicating faulty hydraulic operation, and will help to identify the faulty component. Before perform ing hydraulic circuit test, carefully check belt tension, fluid level and condition o f driving pulley. Power Steering Hydraulic System Test Engine must be at normal operating temperature. Inflate front tires to correct pressure. All tests are made with engine idling, check idle adjustment and if necessary adjust engine idle speed to correct specifica­ tions listed in Section 6C and proceed as follows: 1. With engine N O T running disconnect pressure hose from pum p and install Tool J-5176 using a spare pressure hose between gauge and pump. G au ge must be between shut-off valve and pump. Open shut-off valve. 2. Remove filler cap from pum p reservoir and check fluid level. Fill p u m p reservoir to full mark on dipstick. Start engine and, m omentarily holding steering wheel against stop, check connections at Tool J-5176 for leakage. 3. Bleed system as outlined under M aintenance and Adjustments. 4. Insert therm om eter (Tool J-5421) in reservoir filler opening. Move steering wheel from stop to stop several times until therm om eter indicates that hydraulic fluid in reservoir has reached tem perature of 150° to 170°F. CAUTION: To prevent scrubbing fla t spots on tires, do not turn steering wheel more than fiv e times without rolling vehicle to change tire-tofloor contact area. 5. Start engine and check fluid level adding any fluid if required. W hen engine is at norm al operating temperature, the initial pressure read on the gauge (valve open) should be in the 80-125 PSI range. Should this CONDITION POSSIBLE CAUSE CORRECTION SYSTEM NOISE There is some noise in all power steering systems. Common complaints are listed as follows: Pump noise-“chirp” . Loose belt. Adjust belt tension to specification. Belt squeal. Loose belt. Adjust belt tension to specification. Gear noise ( “ hissing” sound) There is some noise in all power steer­ ing systems. One of the most common is a hissing sound most evident at standstill parking. There is no relation­ ship between this noise and perfor­ mance of the steering. “ Hiss” may be expected when steering wheel is at end of travel or when slowly turning at standstill. Do not replace valve unless “ hiss” is extremely objectionable. Slight “ hiss” is normal and in no way affects steer­ ing. A replacement valve will also exhi­ bit slight noise and is not always a cure for the objection. Investigate clearance around flexible coupling rivets. Be sure steering shaft arid gear are aligned so flexible coupling rotates in a flat plane and is not distorted as shaft ro­ tates. Any metal-to-metal contacts through flexible coupling will transmit “hiss" into passenger compartment. Rattle. Pressure hose touching other parts of car. Adjust hose position. Loose pump pulley nut Replace nut, torque to specs. Pump vanes not installed properly. Install properly. Pump vanes sticking in rotor slots. Free up by removing burrs, varnish or dirt. Improper over-center adjustment Adjust to specifications. Gear noise (rattle or chuckle). NOTE: A slight rattle may occur on turns because of increased clearance off the “ high point” . This is normal and clearance must not be reduced below specified limits to eliminate this slight rattle. Loose pitman arm. Tighten to specifications Gear loose on frame. Check gear-to-frame mounting bolts. Tighten bolts to 70 foot-pounds. Rattle or chuckle. Steering linkage looseness. Check linkage pivot points for wear. Replace if necessary. Groan. Low oil level. Fill reservoir to proper level. Groan. Air in the oil. Poor pressure hose connection. Bleed system by operating steering from right to left full turn. Check connections, torque to specs. Growl.

Improper front suspension alignment. Check and adjust to specifications. Tight steering shaft bearings. Replace bearings. Front suspension misaligned Adjust to specifications. Steering shaft rubbing ID of shift tube. Align column. Unbalanced or badly worn steering gear valve. Replace valve. NOTE: If this is cause, steering effort will be very light in direction of lead and heavy in opposite direction. Steering wheel surges or jerks when turning with engine running especially during parking. Momentary increase in effort when turning wheel fast to right or left. Hard steering or lack of assist. Steering linkage not level. Adjust as required. Low oil level in pump. Check oil level, add as necessary. Loose pump belt. Adjust tension to specification. Sticky How control valve.

However, occasionally oil seepage m ay occur from the gear or pum p other than the seal areas. If this type of leakage is found, replace the leaking part. The following diagram s have been prepared to show the potential areas o f leakage. If leakage occurs in the zones shown, replace the part listed using the service manual as a guide. to find the Quick Fixes The purpose o f this section is to acquaint you with the types o f leakage which can be repaired very easily. It contains inform ation on reservoir oil level, the hoses and the hose connections. An overfilled pu m p reservoir can be a cause for leakage complaint. The oil in the steering system expands as heated during norm al usage. If overfilled the excess is forced thhrough the b reath er cap hole and may be sprayed over the engine by air blast. O perate the engine and steering system until normal operating tem perature is obtained. Remove the reservoir cap and check the graduated level on the dipstick. Adjust the oil level as required. Seepage at the hose connections can be a cause for leakage com plaint and can be due to loose connection nuts. If leakage is observed at the hose connections, and the nut is not cross threaded, tighten the nuts at the gear to 30 foot pounds. The nut at the power steering pu m p should be tightened to 40 foot pounds. If tightening to this torque does not stop the leak, refer to the diagnostic chart. If either the return hose or the pressure hose leaks, replace the hose. Component Replacement Lip seals, which seal rotating shafts, require special treatm ent. This type of seal is used on the steering gear at the p itm a n shaft, at the stud shaft, and on the drive shaft o f the pump. W hen leakage occurs in one o f these areas, always replace the seal(s), after inspecting and thoroughly cleaning the sealing surfaces. Replace the shaft only if very severe pitting is found. If the corrosion in the lip seal contact zone is slight, clean the surface of the shaft with crocus cloth. Replace the shaft only if the leakage can no t be stopped by smoothing with crocus cloth first.

MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENTS Lubrication The m anual steering gear is factory-filled with steering gear lubricant. Seasonal change o f this lubricant should not be perform ed and the housing should not be drain e d no lubrication is required for the life of the steering gear. Every 36,000 miles, the m anual gear should be inspected for seal leakage (actual solid grease - not just oily film ) If a seal is replaced or the g ear is overhauled, the gear housing should be refilled with 1051052 (13 oz. container) Steering Gear Lubricant which meets GM Specification GM 4673M , or its equivalent. N O T E : Do not use EP Chassis Lube, which meets G M Specification GM 6 0 3 1M, to lubricate the gear DO NOT OVER-FILL the gear housing. 6. Turn the steering wheel gently in one direction until stopped by the gear; then turn back on e-half turn. CAUTION: Do not turn the steering wheel hard against the stops when the steering linkage is disconnected from the gear as damage to the ball guides could result. 7. M easure and record "b e arin g d ra g " by applying a torque wrench with a socket on the steering wheel nut and rotating through a 90° arc (fig. 3B-30). NOTE: Do not use a torque wrench having a maximum torque reading o f more than 50 inch pounds. 8. Adjust "thrust bearing p relo ad " by tightening the adjuster plug until the proper "thrust loading The steering linkage un der norm al conditions should be lubricated with any w ater resistant EP type chassis lubricant every 7,500 miles or six months, whichever occurs first. Lubricate every 3,000 miles or two months whichever occurs first when operating in dusty or muddy conditions or if the vehicle is used "off-road". Lubrication points an d additional info rm atio n on the chassis lubricant recom m en ded can be found in Section 0—General Info rm atio n and lubrication.

Loosen the steering gear adjuster plug locknut an d back the adjuster plug off 1/4 turn (fig. 3B-29). 5. Remove the horn shroud or button cap. Fig. 3B 2 9 -Steering Gear A djustm ent Points-Typical pre lo ad " is obtained (See specifications section). W hen the p rop er preload has been obtained, tighten the adjuster plug locknut to specifications and recheck torque. If the gear feels " lu m p y " after adjustment, there is probably dam ag e in the bearings due to severe impact or im prop er adjustment; the gear must be disassembled and inspected for replacem ent o f dam aged parts. 9. Adjust "over-center p re lo a d " as follows: a. Turn the steering wheel gently from one stop all the way to the other carefully counting the total n u m b e r o f turns. Turn the wheel back exactly half-way, to center position. b. Turn the lash adjuster screw clockwise to take out all lash between the ball nut and pitm an shaft sector teeth and then tighten the locknut. c. Check the torque at the steering wheel, taking the highest read in g as the wheel is turned through center position. See the Specifications Section for proper over­ center preload. d. If necessary, loosen locknut and readjust lash adjuster screw to obtain pro p e r torque. Tighten the locknut to specifications and again check torque reading through center o f travel. N O T E : If m axim um specification is exceeded, turn lash adjuster screw counterclockwise, then come up on adjustm ent by turning the adjuster in a clockwise motion. 10. Reassemble the p itm a n arm to the p itm an shaft, lining up the marks m ade during disassembly. T orque the p itm a n shaft nut to sspecifications. CAUTION: I f a clamp type pitm an arm is used, spread the pitm an arm ju s t enough, with a wedge, to slip the arm onto the pitm an shaft. Do not spread the clamp more than required to slip over pitm an shaft with hand pressure. Do not ham m er the p itm a n arm onto the pitm an shaft. Be sure to install the hardened steel washer before installing the nut. 11. Install the horn button cap or shroud and connect the battery ground cable. 12 Lower the vehicle to the floor. S teering Gear High Point C entering 1. Set front wheels in straight ahead position. This can be checked by driving vehicle a short distance on a flat surface to determ ine steering wheel position at which vehicle follows a straight path. 2. W ith fro nt wheels set straight ahead, check position o f mark on w o rm sh aft designating steering gear high point. This mark should be at the top side o f the shaft at 12 o ’clock position and lined up with the mark in the coupling lower clamp. 3. O n C, G and P series if gear has been moved off high point w hen setting wheel in straight ahead position. Loosen adjusting sleeve clamps on both left and right h a nd tie rods, then turn both sleeves an equal nu m b e r of turns in the same direction to b ring gear back on high point. N O T E: T urning the sleeves an unequal num ber of turns or in different directions will disturb the toein setting o f the wheels. 4. On K series if the gear has been moved off high point when setting wheels in straight ahead position. Loosen adjusting sleeve clamps on the connecting rod then turn sleeve to bring gear back on high point. 5. Readjust toe-in as outlined in Section 3A (if necessary). 6. Be sure to properly orient sleeves an d clamps as shown in figures 3B-104, 3B-106 and 3B-109 when fastening and torqueing clamps to proper specifications. Steering W heel Alignm ent NOTE: On all series vehicles check steering gear for high point centering before checking steering wheel alignment. 1.

Fig. 3B-34--Shift Tube A djustm ent-A utom atic Transmission Power Steering G ear Adjustm ent Procedure Fig. 3B-32--Steering Column Lower Bearing A djustm ent Adjustment of the steering g ear in the vehicle is discouraged because o f the difficulty encountered in adjusting the worm thrust bearing preload and the confusing effects of the hydraulic fluid in the gear. Since a gear adjustment is m ade only as a correction and not as a periodic adjustment, it is better to take the extra time and make the adjustment correctly the first time. Since a handling stability complaint can be caused by im properly adjusted worm bearings as well as an im proper gear over-center adjustment, it is necessary that the steering g ear assembly be removed from the vehicle and both thrust bearing and over-center preload be checked and corrected as necessary. An in-vehicle check o f the steering gear will not pin-point a thrust bearing looseness. Thrust Bearing Adjustment Fig. 3B-33--Shift Tube A djustm ent-3 Speed M anual Transm ission 3. Tighten attaching screws and clam p bolt. Automatic Transmission 1. Place the shift tube lever in " N e u tra l" or "D rive ". 2.

Fill, if necessary, to prop er level with G M Power Steering Fluid or equivalent. Fig. 3B -42-C hecking Belt Tension w ith J-23600 Bleeding Hydraulic System 1. Fill oil reservoir to pro per level and let oil rem ain undisturbed for at least two minutes. 2. Start engine and run only for about two seconds. 3. Add oil if necessary. 4. Repeat above procedure until oil level remains constant after run ning engine. 5. Raise front end o f vehicle so that wheels are off the ground. 6. Increase engine speed to approximately 1500 rpm. 7. T urn the wheels (off ground) right and left, lightly contacting the wheel stops. 8. Add oil if necessary. 9. Lower the vehicle and turn wheels right and left on the ground. 10. Check oil level and refill as required. 11. If oil is extremely foamy, allow vehicle to stand a few minutes with engine off and repeat above procedure. a. Check belt tightness an d check for a bent or loose pulley. (Pulley should not wobble with engine running.) b. Check to make sure hoses are not touching any other parts o f the truck, particularly sheet metal except w here design calls for a clamp. c. Check oil level, filling to proper level if necessary, following operations 1 through 10. This step an d Step " D " are extremely im p ortant as low oil level a n d / o r air in the oil are the most frequent causes of objectional p u m p noise. d. Check the presence o f air in the oil. If air is present, attem pt to bleed system as described in operations 1 through 10. If it becomes obvious that the pu m p will not bleed after a few trials, proceed as outlined und er Hydraulic System Checks. Hydraulic System Checks T he following p ro c e d u re outlines m ethods to identify and isolate power steering hydraulic circuit difficulties. The test provides means o f determ ining w heth er power steering system hydraulic parts are actually faulty. This test will result in readings indicating faulty hydraulic operation, and will help to identify the faulty component. Before perfo rm in g hydraulic circuit test, carefully check belt tension, fluid level and condition o f driving pulley. Pow er S teering Hydraulic System Test Engine must be at norm al operating temperature. Inflate fron t tires to correct pressure. All tests are made with engine idling, check idle adjustment and if necessary adjust engine idle speed to correct specifica­ tions listed in Section 6C and proceed as follows: 1. With engine NOT ru n nn in g disconnect pressure hose from pum p and install Tool J-5176 using a spare pressure hose between gauge and pump. G auge must be between shut-off valve and p u m p (Fig. 3B-43), Open shut-off valve. 2. Remove filler cap from pum p reservoir and check fluid level. Fill pum p reservoir to full mark on dip stick. Start engine and, m om entarily holding steering wheel against stop, check connections at Tool J-5176 for leakage. A HIGH PRESSURE HOSE FROM PUMP B ADDITIONAL HIGH PRESSURE P/S HOSE TO GEAR C TOOL J-5176 Fig. 3B 43 Checking Power Steering Pressures 3. Bleed system as outlined under Maintenance and Adjustments. 4. Insert therm om eter (Tool J-5421) in reservoir filler opening. Move steering wheel from stop to stop several times until therm om eter indicates that hydraulic fluid in reservoir has reached tem perature of 150 to 170 F. CAUTION: To prevent scrubbing fla t spots on tires, do not turn steering wheel more than Jive times without rolling vehicle to change tire-tofloor contact area. 5. Start engine and check fluid level adding any fluid if required. W hen engine is at norm al operating temperature, the initial pressure read on the gage (valve open) should be in the 80-125 PSI range. Should this pressure be in excess of 200 PSI - check the hoses for restrictions and the poppet valve for proper assembly. 6. Close gate valve fully 3 times. Record the highest pressures attained each time. CAUTION: Do not leave valve fully closed fo r more than 5 seconds as the pum p could be dam aged internally. a. If the pressures recorded are within the listed specs and the range o f readings are within 50 PSI, the pum p is functioning within specs. (Ex. Spec. 1250 - 1350 PSI - readings - 1270 - 1275 - 1280). b. If the pressures recorded are high, but do not repeat within 50 PSI, the flow controlling valve is sticking. Remove the valve, clean it and remove any burrs using crocus cloth or fine hone. If the system contains some dirt, flush it. If it is exceptionally dirty, both the pum p and the gear must be completely disassembled, cleaned, flushed and reassembled before further usage. c. If the pressures recorded are constant, but more than 100 PSI, below the low listed spec., replace the flow control valve and recheck. If the pressures are still low. replace the rotating group in the pump. 7. If the pu m p checks within specifications, leave 1.

Reinstall the steering column assembly follow­ ing the "M an d a to ry Installation Sequence" outlined later in this section. Steering Column Fig. 3B-62--Steering Column Cover and Seal Ignition Switch (C and K Series) T he ignition switch is mounted on top of the column jacket n ear the front o f the dash. F o r anti-theft reasons, the switch is located inside the channel section of the brake pedal support and is completely inaccessible w ithout first lowering the steering column (see steering column removal). T he switch is actuated by a rod and rack assembly. A portion of the rack is toothed and engages a gear on the end of the lock cylinder, thus enabling the rod and rack to be moved axially (with respect to the column) to actuate the switch w hen the lock cylinder is rotated. Removal 1. Lower the steering column as outlined under "S teering Column R em oval" later in this section. It is not necessary to remove the steering wheel. CAUTION: I f the steering column is not rem oved fr o m the vehicle, be sure that it is properly supported, before proceeding. 2. The switch should be positioned in "Lock" position before removing. If the lock cylinder has already been removed, the actuating rod to the switch should be pulled up until there is a definite stop, then moved down one detent, which is the "L ock" position. 3. Remove the two switch dBrews and remove the switch assembly. Installation 1. Before replacing the switch, be sure that the lock is in the "L ock" position (fig. 3B-61); if it is not, a screwdriver (placed in the locking rod slot) can be used to move the switch to "Lock". 2. Install the activating rod into the switch and assemble the switch on the column; tighten the m ounting screws. CAUTION: Use only the specified screws since over-length screws could prevent a portion o f the assembly from compressing under impact. All models which are equipped with the Function Locking Energy Absorbing Steering Columns are one of five basic designs. 1. Synchromesh - The synchromesh column is used on models with the standard transmission and column m ounted shift levers. The shift tube, within the outer column jacket, includes two lower shift levers for connection to the transmission control linkage. This column does not lock the transmission when the lock cylinder is in the "lock" position. 2. Floor Shift - This column is used on models equipped with a m anual transmission with the shift lever on the floor. This column does not lock the transmission w hen the lock cylinder is in the "lock" position. 3. Automatic Column Shift - This column has a single lower shift lever for shifting the automatic transmission. The transmission is locked in Park when the lock cylinder is in "Lock". 4. Tilt Column Option automatic transmission T he upper end and steering shaft o f this column is specifically designed to accommodate the optional tilt steering wheel. The lower portion o f the column is the same as in item nu m b e r 3. 5. Tilt Column Option Manual Transmission - This column is the same as the automatic transmission tilt column except incorporating provisions for the manual transmission shifting and the transmission is not locked when the lock cylinder is in "L ock" position. To perform service procedures on the steering column upper end components, it is not necessary to remove the column from the vehicle. The steering wheel, horn components, directional signal switch, and ignition lock cylinder m ay be removed with the column re m ain in g in the vehicle as described earlier in this section. CAUTION: The outer mast ja c ke t shift tube, steering shaft a n d instrument panel m ounting bracket are designed as energy absorbing units. Because o f the design o f these components, it is absolutely necessary to handle the column with care when perform ing any service operation. A void hammering, jarring, dropping or leaning on any portion o f the column. When reassem­ bling the column components, use only the specified screws, nuts and bolts and tighten to specified torque. Care should be exercised in using over-length screws or bolts as they m ay prevent a portion o f the column fr o m compressing under impact. Inspection To determ ine if the energy absorbing steering column components are functioning as designed, or if repairs are required, a close inspection should be made. Inspection is called for in all cases where dam age is evident or w henever the vehicle is being repaired due to a front end collision. W henever a force has been exerted on the steering wheel or steering column, or its components, inspection should also be made. If dam age is evident, the affected parts must be replaced. The inspection procedure for the various steering column com ponents on all C and K Series Trucks is as follows: Column Support B racket D am a ge in this area will be indicated by separation o f the m ounting capsules from the bracket. The bracket will have moved forward toward the engine co m p art­ m ent and will usually result in collapsing o f the jacket section o f the steering column. Column Jac ke t Inspect jacket section o f column for looseness, a n d / or bends. Fig. 3B-64 -Steering Column to Dash Panel-C,K P Typical S h ifte r S h a ft Separation o f the shifter shaft sections will be internal and cannot be visually identified. Hold lower end o f the "shifter sh aft" and move "s h ift lever" on colum n through its ranges and up and down. If there is little or no m ovem ent o f the "shifter shaft", the plastic joints are sheared. Steering S h a ft If the steering shaft plastic pins have been sheared, the shaft will rattle when struck lightly from the side and some lash m ay be felt w hen rotating the steering wheel while holding the rag joint. It should be noted that if the steering shaft pins are sheared due to m inor collision the vehicle can be safely steered; however, steering shaft replacem ent is recommended. Because of the differences in the steering column Fig. 3B-65--Steering Columns to Dash Panel-G types, be sure to refer to the set o f instructions below which apply to the column being serviced.

Lower the vehicle to the floor. 5. Adjust toe-in (see Section 3A) and align steering wheel as described previously in this section under "Steering Wheel A lignm ent and High Point Centering". Idler Arm Use o f the pro p e r diagnosis and checking procedure is essential to prevent needless replacement o f good idler arms. 1. Raise the vehicle in such a m a n n e r as to allow the front wheels to rotate freely and the steering m echanism freedom to turn. Position the wheels in a straight ahead position. 2. Using a push pull type spring scale located as n ear the relay rod end o f the idler arm as possible, exert a 25 lb. force upw ard and then downward while noticing the total distance the end of the arm moves. This distance should not exceed ” 1/8 inch for a total acceptable m ovem ent o f 1/4 inch (Figure 3B-108). It is necessary to ensure that the correct load is applied to the arm since it will move more w hen higher loads are applied. It is also necessary that a scale or ruler be rested against the fram e and used to determine the am ount of m ovem ent since observers tend to over-estimate the actual movem ent w hen a scale is not used. The idler arm should always be replaced if it fails this test. N O T E : Jerking the right front wheel and tire assembly back and forth thus causing an up and down m ovem ent in the idler arm is not an acceptable method o f checking since there is no control on the am ount o f force being applied. Caution should be used in assuming shimmey complaints are caused by loose idler arms. Before suspecting suspension or steering components, techni­ cians should eliminate shim my excitation factors, such as dynam ic imbalance, run-out or force variation o f wheel and tire assemblies and road surface irregularities.

The control arms are o f unequal length (S.L.A. Type). These control arms are connected to the steering knuckle through pivoting ball joints. This suspension system consists of upper and lower control arms pivoting on steel threaded or rubber A coil spring is located between the lower control arm and a formed seat in the suspension crossmember, thus the lower control arm is the load carrying member. Double acting shock absorbers are also attached to the bushings on upper and lower control arm shafts. The lower control arms and connect with the fram e to the lower control arms are attached to the crossmember. The upper control arms are attached to a fram e bracket. rear on the upper end. The front wheel bearings are tapered roller type and are used on all models. ^9 C-10 G-10-20 C-20-30 G-30 P-10-30 Fig. 3C -l--Front Suspension, C P Series SHOCK ABSORBER LOWER CONTROL ARMS Fig. 3C-2--Front Suspension G-30-Typical MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENTS CAUTION: See C A U T IO N on page I o f this section regarding the fasteners referred to in the m aintenance and adjustm ent procedures below.

Prelim inary Inspection and Ride Test: Tire Pressure Check tire pressure com pare to vehicle specifications and adjust as required. Poor vehicle control and ride com plaints are caused in m an y cases by im pro per tire inflation. Special Suspension Equipment Check Service Parts Identification Sticker for any special suspension equipm ent; such as, a heavy duty suspension. Vehicles equipped with this type o f option have a somewhat stiffer or harsh ride, and this should be kept in m ind during the following tests. If complaint about stiffness should occur while vehicle is still new (under 5,000 miles), owner should be advised to have ride rechecked after 7,000 to 8,000 miles. Vehicle Load Conditions Note any exceptional load conditions under which the owner normally operates the vehicle; such as, large tool boxes full o f tools, pick up bed full etc. If exceptional loading is apparent, check the distribution of this weight. Note if it is all toward one side o f the vehicle or at the extreme rear of the vehicle. Reposition load as required to obtain a more uniform weight distribution. Check Vehicle Ride and Handling After completing previous checks, ride vehicle with owner to determ ine if problem has been corrected or to definitely establish type o f problem that still exists.

Do not confuse this paint with a leak condition. • a slight trace o f shock fluid around the seal cover area is not cause for replacement. The shock seal is engineered to perm it a slight seepage to lubricate the rod. The shock absorber has reserve fluid to compensate for the slight seepage. • shocks are sometimes incorrectly diagnosed as leakers due to oil spray originating from some other source. If in doubt, wipe the wet area from and manually operate shock as described in Step (2). Fluid will reappear if shock is leaking. Inspecting and Testing the Shocks T hree procedures are included in this step. Thet are (a) Bounce Test, (b) Inspecting Shock M ountings for Noise (Looseness) and (c) M anually O perating Shocks to D eterm ine if Shocks are Weak, Leaking Hydraulic Fluid, a n d / o r if Shocks have an Internal Noise Condition. IM PORTANT: Test procedures (b) and (c) require vehicle to be on a hoist that supports wheels or rear axle housing and front lower control arms. 2. Bounce Test N OTE: It may be necessary with certain types o f shock mountings to fabricate a bracket that can be installed on a shock to enable a technician to securely grip the shock w hen manually operating the shock. See Figure 3C-9 for suggested methods of providing tem porary grip. This test should help the mechanic to isolate the following shock defects: • binding condition internally • verify leaking shock • im proper or defective valving (a) If suspected problem is in front shocks, disconnect both front shock lower mountings and stroke each shock as follows: G rip the lower end o f the shock securely and pull down (rebound stroke) then push up (compression stroke). The control arms will limit the movement o f the front shocks during the compression stroke. Com pare the rebound resistance between both front shocks, then com pare the compression resistance. If a noticeable difference can be felt during either stroke, usually the shock having the least resistance is at fault. (b) If shock has an internal noise condition, N OTE: This is only a com parison type test to help locate the suspected shock or noise condition before proceeding. Test each front and rear shock by bouncing each corner o f the vehicle. This can usually be done by lifting up and pushing down on the end of the bum per near each corner o f the vehicle until m axim um movement up and down is reached. Then let go o f bum per and observe if the up and down motion stops very quickly. II' up and down motion continues longer at one corner when c om pared to opposite corner (example, both front shocks), the one having the longer up and down motion m ay be suspect. Do Not com pare front to rear. If com plaint is noise, this test should help to locate the suspected area. Inspecting Shock Mountings If noisy a n d / o r loose shock m ountings are suspected, place vehicle on hoist that supports wheels and check all mountings for the following conditions: (1) W orn or defective gromm ets (2) Loose m ounting nuts (3) Possible interference condition (4) Bump stops missing If no a p p a re n t defects are noted in this step but noise condition still exists when vehicle is bounced up and down, proceed. Inspecting Shocks for Leaks and Manually Operating Shocks This procedure is sub-divided into two general areas, (1) Inspecting Shocks for Loss of Hydraulic Fluid an d (2) M anually O perating Shock. It should aid the technician to localize defective shocks caused by internal noise in the shock, weak, leaking, etc. 1. Inspecting Hydraulic Fluid Shocks for Possible Loss (a) Disconnect each shock lower mounting as required and pull down on the shock until it is fully extended. (b) Inspect shocks for leaks in seal cover area. Shock fluid is a very thin hydraulic fluid and has a characteristic odor and dark brown tint (Figure 3C-8). Certain precautions should be observed when inspecting shocks for leaks: Manually Operating Shocks of TYPICAL FRONT SHOCK TYPICAL REAR SHOCK DUST T U B E O T BOTTOM M O UNT \ BO TTO M' M O UNT ROD EXTENDED (REBOUND) x SHOCK COLLAPSED BOTTOM M O UNT ROD EXTENDED (REBOUND) ' TOP END DOWN SHOCK -« COLLAPSED a BOTTOM M 0 U N T\^^ INVERT.

THEN C O LLA PSE POSITION FOR PURGING AIR FROM SHOCK ABSORBER Fig. 3C-10--Position for Purging A ir From Shocks Bench Test Procedure extend shock fully, then exert an extra pull. If noisy shock should be replaced. O th e r noise co nd itio ns that re qu ire shock replacem ent are: • a grunt or squeal after one full stroke in both directions • a clicking noise on fast reverse • a skip or lag at reversal near mid-stroke IM PORTANT: W hen air adjustable shocks are being manually operated, the air line must be disconnected at the shock absorber. BENCH CHECKS T he bench checks are recom m ended if the proper type hoist is not available to perform the “on c a r” tests, or if there is still some doubt as to w hether the shocks are defective. In addition, the bench test allows a more thorough visual inspection. Bench check procedures are discussed for three general types of shocks. SPIRAL GROOVE RESERVOIR IM PORTANT: If this type o f shock has been stored or allowed to lay in a horizontal position for any length o f time, an air void will develop in the pressure ch am ber o f the shock absorber. This air void if not purged, can cause a technician to diagnose the shock as defective. To purge the air from the pressure chamber, proceed as follows: (Refer to Figure 3C-10) (a) Holding the shock in its norm al vertical position (top end up), fully extend shock. (b) Hold the top end o f the shock down and fully collapse the shock. (c) Repeat Steps (a) and (b) at least five (5) times to assure air is purged. 1. This is a comparison type test. If possible, o btain a new or known good shock with same part n u m b e r as shock und er test. 2. With shocks in vertical position (top end up), clamp bottom mounts in vise. CAUTION: Do not clamp on reservoir tube or m ounting threads. 3. Manually pum p each shock by h an d at various rates of speed and compare resistance o f suspected shock with the new one. NOTE: Rebound resistance (extending the shock) is normally stronger than the compression resist­ ance (approximately 2:1). However, resistance should be smooth and constant for each stroking rate. 4. Observe or listen for the following conditions that will indicate a defective shock: • a skip or lag when reversing stroke at mid travel. • seizing or binding condition except at extreme end o f either stroke. • a noise, such as a grunt or squeal, after completing one full stroke in both directions. • a clicking type noise at fast reversal. • fluid leakage. 5. To check for a loose piston, completely extend shock to full rebound; then exert an extra hard pull. If a give is felt, a loose piston is indicated and shock should be replaced. PLIACELL OR GENETRON Pliacell and G e netron are some o f the trade names used to indicate a gas-filled cell in the shock reservoir. The reservoirs o f Pliacell and G e netron shocks are smooth, com pared to the spiral groove type. The cell takes the place of air in the reservoir. Thus, aeration or foam ing of the fluid is eliminated, as air an d fluid cannot mix. Due to this feature, these shocks should be bench checked in an inverted position (top end down). If, when stroked, a lag is noticed, it means the gas-filled cell has been ruptured, and the shock should be replaced. If no lag is noticed, the re m ain der o f the bench check is the same as given in the Spiral Groove Reservoir, Section 1, Bench Check Procedure. AIR A D JUSTAB LE SHOCKS This type o f shock contains an air cham ber like the spiral groove reservoir type, and must have the air p urged from the working cham ber. See Section 1, Spiral G roove Reservoir. A fter air has been purged from shock, proceed as follows: (a) C lam p lower shock m ounting ring in vise in vertical position with larger d iam eter tube at the top. (b) Pum p unit by hand at different rates o f speed. Smooth resistance should be felt through the length of the stroke. Since the units are normally pressurized, the sound o f air bubbles or a gurgling noise is norm al (c) The re m a in d e r o f the bench check is the same as given in the Spiral Groove Reservoir, Section 1, Bench Check Procedure.

At the wheel ends o f the axle tubes, two types of steering knuckle attachment are used. Figures 3C-1K and 3C-2K show the KIO and K20 knuckle attached with ball joints. Figure 3C-3K shows the king-pin attachm ent used in K30. The tapered upper king pin fits in a tapered nylon bushing. The lower king pin is part o f the bearing cap, and this king pin rides in a tapered roller bearing. All trucks with full-time four-wheel drive use a locked hub. as shown in Figure 3C-1K (for KIO, K20), and in Figure 3C-3K (for K30). A free-wheeling hub is used on trucks equipped with part-time four-wheel drive. The free-wheeling hub (for KIO, K20) is shown in Figure 3C-2K. This hub allows the driver to manually engage or disengage the hub from the axle shafts. R \ a 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION All 10-30 series vehicles use a leaf spring/solid rear axle suspension system. Typical systems are illustrated in Fig. 3D-1, 3D-2 and 3D-3. The rear axle assembly is attached to multi-leaf springs by " U " bolts. The spring front eyes are attached to the fram e at the front hangers, through rubber bushings. The rear ends o f the springs are attached to the fram e by the use o f shackles which allow the spring to "change its length" while the vehicle is in motion. Control arms are not used with leaf springs. Ride control is provided by two identical direct double acting shock absorbers angle-mounted between the fram e and brackets attached to the axle tubes. 3D -1 3D-2 3D-2 3D-3 3D-4 3D-8 Fig. 3D -2-T ypical G-Truck Rear Suspension Fig. 3D -3-T ypical P-30 H.D.

It is essential to conduct a periodic pressure check according to the tire inflation tables on the following pages plus a visual tire inspection to detect im bedded objects which might otherwise go unnoticed and cause serious casing damage. are selected to provide the best all around tire perform an ce for all normal operations. All tires are m anu factured for co nfiguration and use on load wheels c a rry in g of specific capacity. size, W hen replacing a worn or dam aged tire it is essential that you use a replacem ent tire o f the same size and load rating as that with which m anufactured. Use the vehicle was equipped when of any other size o f tire may seriously affect ride, handling, ground clearance, tire clearance an d speedom eter calibration. Similarly, use of wheels with offsets other than recommended, or use of w hat are commonly referred to as "reversed rim s" may seriously overload wheel bea rin g s or other axle components causing rapid w ear or failure o f these parts and void the vehicle warranty. To achieve best all around vehicle handling perform ance belted tires and bias ply tires should not be mixed on the same truck. Because o f possible adverse effects on vehicle handling, do not mix radial ply tires with other type tires on the same vehicle. TUBE TIRES Some commercial vehicles are equipped (at customer option) with synthetic rubber tires and tubes.

Do not straighten bent wheels or use inner tubes in leaking wheels used with tubeless tires. The wheels originally equipped on the vehicle will provide optim um life up to the m axim um load and inflation pressures as shown in the Wheel Code and Limits Chart. M axim um loads, m axim u m inflation pressures, wheel identification codes, and wheel sizes are stam ped on each wheel. On a new vehicle or after the wheel has been changed, the wheel nut torque must be checked at 100, 1,000 and 6,000 miles and every 6,000 miles thereafter. W h e n rep la c in g wheels for any reason, the replacem ent wheels should be equivalent in load capacity, inflation pressure capacity, diameter, width, offset, and m o unting configurations to those originally installed on the vehicle. A wheel of im pro per size or type may adversely affect load carrying capacity, wheel and bearing life, brake cooling, sp e e d o m e te r/o d o m eter calibration, vehi­ cle ground clearance, and tire clearance to the body and chassis. Replacem ent with " u s e d " wheels which may have been subjected to harsh operating conditions or very high mileage is not recommended. These wheels m ay fail prem aturely without any prior visual indication. N O T E : The use of wheels a n d / o r tires with higher load carrying capacity than originally equipped on the vehicle does not necessarily increase the G A W R ’s or the G V W R o f the vehicle. Wheels having diameters ran ging from 16 inch through 19.5 inch diam eter tha t have also been certified for radial tire application up to the maxim um load and m axim um tire pressure wheel limits shown in the W heel Code and Limits Chart have the word " r a d ia l" stamped on the rim. Wheels in the 16 inch through 19.5 inch d ia m e te r range without the " r a d ia l" identification stam p are not to be used with radial tires. TIR E IN S P E C TIO N AND R O TA TIO N Front and rear tires perform different jobs and can wear differently depending on the type o f roads driven, individual driving habits, etc. To obtain m axim um tire life, tires should be inspected and rotated regularly. Bias-belted tires should be rotated every 7,500 miles (passenger car type tires); 6,000 miles (truck type tires). Radial tires should be rotated at the first 7,500 miles and then at least every 15,000 miles th ereafter (passenger car type tires); first 6,000 miles then every 12,000 miles (truck type tires). For the longest tire life, any time irregular w ear is noticed, the tires should be inspected and rotated and the cause o f the uneven w ear corrected. Be certain to check wheel nut tightness and to adjust the tire pressures, front and rear, after rotation to agree with those recomm ended in the tire inflation charts. The outer tire on a dual wheel will skid or drag on a turn because o f the difference in the turning radii o f the inner and outer tires. This results in faster w ear o f the outer tire. In general, the tire with the largest diam eter or least w ear whould be at the outside o f each dual wheel. In addition, when trucks are operated continu­ ously on high crown roads an increase in air pressure of from 5 to 10 PSI in the outside tire o f each dual produces m aximum tire life. IN FLA TIO N PRESSURE The m axim um cold inflation pressures for the factory installed tires are listed on the VIN plate. Tires must be inflated to these pressures when the G V W R or an axle G A W R is reached. Im proper tire inflation pressures for the load the vehicle is carrying can adversely affect tire life and vehicle performance.

The tire flexes more a n d can build up excessive heat, w eakening the tire and increasing susceptibility to dam age or failure. Too high an air pressure can result in abnorm al wear, harsh vehicle ride, and increased susceptibility to dam age from road hazards. Lower inflation pressures should be used only with reduced vehicle loads and the rear tire pressure should be equal to or greater than the front pressure on single wheel application. A fter determ ining the load on each tire by weighing the vehicle on a scale, the correct cold inflation pressures for the actual tire loads can be obtained from the T ire /W h e el Load and Inflation Pressure C hart shown in this section. Tire inflation pressures should be checked at least monthly when the tires are "cold" and when changing the load the vehicle is carrying.

The “ cold ” tire inflation pressure rating applies to the tire pressure when the vehicle has not been driven for three hours or m ore, or driven less than one m ile. 2. It is normal for tire pressures to increase 4-8 PSI, or m ore, when the tires becom e “h o t” from driving, D o n ot “ b leed ” or reduce tire in­ flation pressures after driving your vehicle. Bleeding serves to reduce “ cold ” inflation pressure and increase tire flexin g which can result in tire damage and failure. For sustained driving over 75 mph with pas­ senger car typ e tires, cold inflation pressures should be increased 4 PSI above the recom ­ m ended cold inflation pressures in the Tire/ Wheel Load and Inflation Pressure Chart for the load being carried up to a m axim um o f 32 PSI for load range B tires, 3 6 PSI for load range C, and 4 0 PSI for load range D. Sus­ tained speeds above 75 mph are n ot recom ­ m ended when the 4 PSI adjustm ent exceeds the m axim um pressures stated above. 3. 4. For sustained driving over 65 mph w ith truck typ e tires* cold inflation pressures should be increased 10 PSI above th ose specified in the Tire/W heel Load and Inflation Pressure charts for the load being carried. Do not exceed the m axim um w heel capacity show n in the Wheel Code & Limits Chart. Sustained speeds above 65 MPH are n ot recom m ended where the 10 PSI pressure increase w ould exceed this m axi­ m um w heel capacity. For special operating con d ition s such as carry­ ing slide-in campers or other high center of gravity loads, cold inflation pressures may be increased up to 10 PSI above those show n in the table. The total increase in cold inflation pressures, how ever, m ust not exceed the m axi­ mum w heel capacity show n on the Wheel Code & Limits Chart.

Severe injuries can result from improper servicing techniques. It is recommended that tires on multi-piece rims be serviced only by competent personnel with proper equipment or by competent truck tire repair shops. C O R R E C T IN G IRREGULAR TIRE WEAR Heel and Toe W ear This is a saw-toothed effect where one end o f each tread block is worn more th a n the other. The end that wears is the one that first grips the road w hen the brakes are applied. Heel and toe w ear is less noticeable on rear tires than on front tires, because the propelling action o f the rear wheels creates a force which tends to wear the opposite end of the tread blocks. The two forces, propelling an d braking, m ake for more even wear o f the rear tires, w hereas only the braking forces act on the front wheels, and the saw-tooth effect is more noticeable. A certain am ount of heel and toe wear is normal. Excessive wear is usually due to high speed driving and excessive use of brakes. The best remedy, in addition to cautioning the owner on his driving habits, is to interchange tires regularly. Side W ear This may be caused by incorrect wheel camber, underinflation, high cambered roads or by taking corners at too high a rate o f speed. The first two causes are the most common. C am ber w ear can be radily identified because it occurs only on one side o f the treads, whereas underinflation causes wear on both sides. C am ber wear requires correction o f the cam ber first and then interchanging tires. There is, o f course, no correction for high cam bered roads. Cornering w ear is discussed further on. M isalignm ent W ear This is w ear due to excessive toe-in or toe-out. In either case, tires will revolve with a side motion and scrape the tread ru bb er off. If misalignment is severe, the ru bber will be scraped off o f both tires; if slight, only one will be affected. The scraping action against the face o f the tire causes a small feather edge of rubber to ap p e a r on one side of the tread and this feather edge is certain indication o f misalignment. The remedy is readjusting toe-in, or rechecking the entire front end alignm ent if necessary. Uneven W ear U neven or spotty wear is due to such irregularities as unequal caster or camber, bent front suspension parts, out-of-balance wheels, brake drum s out o f round, brakes out o f adjustm ent or other mechanical conditions. The rem edy in each case consists of locating the mechanical defect and correcting it. C ornering W ear W hen a truck makes an extremely fast turn, the weight is shifted from an even loading on all wheels to an abn orm al load on the tires on the outside o f the curve and a very light load on the inside tires, due to centrifugal force. This unequal loading may have two unfavorable results. First the rear tire on the inside of the curve may be relieved of so much load that it is no longer geared to the road and it slips, grinding off the tread on the inside half o f the tire at an excessive rate. This type of tire shows much the same appearance of tread w ear as tire w ear caused by negative camber. Second the transfer o f weight may also overload the outside tires so much that they are laterally distorted resulting in excessive wear on the outside h alf o f the tire, producing a type o f wear like that caused by excessive positive camber. C o rnerin g wear can be most easily distinguished from ab no rm al cam ber w ear by the rounding of the outside shoulder or edge o f the tire and by the roughening o f the tread surface which denotes abrasion. C o rn erin g w ear often produces a fin or raised portion along the inside edge o f each row in the tread pattern. In some cases this fin is almost as pronounced as a toe-in fin, and in others, it tapers into a row o f tread blocks to such an extent that the tire has a definite "step w e a r" appearance. T he only rem edy for cornering wear is proper instruction o f operators. D riving more slowly on curves an d turns will avoid g rinding ru b b e r off tires. To offset norm al cornering w ear as much as possible tires should be interchanged at regular intervals. Wheel and Tire Balancing It is desirable from the standpoints o f tire wear and vehicle ride and handling ease to m a intain proper balance o f wheel and tire assemblies on all models. This may be accomplished by either o f the two types o f balancing systems in currect use which balance wheels either on the vehicle or off. The "o n the vehicle" type, however, is the more desirable in that all rolling components (brake drums, bearings, seals, etc.) are included in the balancing procedure and thereby have any existing unbalance corrected. Truck Wheel Balance Weights All 1977 truck wheels equipped with a tubular side ring (rolled flange rim) on the outboard side o f the wheel rims require special design weights to fit. D ynam ic balancing can be accomplished through use o f these special balance weights which are designed only for installations on the outboard side o f these wheels. Conventional weights fit only the inboard side o f these wheels. Static Balance Static balance (sometimes called still balance) is the equal distribution o f weight o f the wheel and tire assembly about the axis o f rotation in such a m anner that the assembly has no tendency to rotate by itself, regardless o f its position. For example: A wheel with chunk o f dirt on the rim will always rotate by itself until the heavy side is a the bottom. Any wheel with a heavy side like this is statically out of balance. Static unbalance o f a wheel causes a hopping or pounding action (up and down) which frequently leads to wheel "flutter" and quite often to wheel " tra m p " . Dynamic Balance Dynam ic balance (sometimes called running balance means that the wheel must be in static balance, and also run smoothly at all speeds. To insure successful, accurate balancing, the following precautions must be observed: • Wheel and tire must be clean and free from all foreign matter. • The tires should be in good condition and properly mounted with the balance mark on the tire, if any, lined up with the valve. • Bent wheels that have runout over 1/16" should be replaced. • Inspect tire and wheel assembly to determine if an eccentric o r out-of-round condition exists. Note that this condition, if severe, cannot be "balanced out". An assembly which has an out-of-round condition exceeding 3 /1 6 " on tire sizes through 19.5" is not suitable for use on the front o f the vehicle. Its use on the rear should be governed by its general condition and whether the roundness defect seriously detracts from overall ride quality. • W hen balancing wheels and tires, it is recom­ mended that the instructions covering the operation o f the wheel balancer being used be closely followed. • W hen balancing truck type nylon tires, tires must be hot (run for several miles) before raising vehicle to balance so that flat spot is elimated. A tire which is flat spotted will be incorrectly balanced. WHEEL REMO VAL AN D IN S TA LLA TIO N Jacking Instructions Place vehicle jack supplied or recom m ended as follows: To raise a rear wheel, place jack under axle housing; to raise fron t wheel o f C, G, P models, place jack under lower control arm pivot; to raise front wheel of K models, place jack under front axle near spring seat. Dual and Single Wheels W hen installing the tire and wheel on the vehicle, the following procedure should be followed: A fter wheel nuts are p ut on loosely, turn the wheel until one nut is at the top o f the bolt circle; tighten the nut just snug. Snug up the re m aining nuts criss-cross to m inim ize runout, then tig h te n the nuts to the recom m ended torque alternately and evenly to avoid excessive runout. W hen installing wheels on vehicles with dual rear wheels: 1. Install inner and outer wheel and clamp ring on rear, or wheel and clamp ring on front (be sure pins on clam p ring face outboard). 2. Install and snug nuts finger tight. 3. T orque nuts to specified torque in sequence shown in Figure 4. Lateral runout should not exceed 1 /8 " on front wheel or 3 /1 6 " on rear wheel. Matching Side and Lock Rings Side and lock rings o f different rim types are not interchangeable. Some m ay ap p ea r to be, but they do not fit peoperly on the rim base. Serious accidents have resulted from the use of m ismatched rings. Rim base and rings must be matched according to m anufacturer, size and type. This info rm atio n is stamped on each part. Installing Synthetic Tubes When tube and flap are not properly lubricated a n d mounted, they will stretch thin in the tire bead a nd rim region. This will cause premature failure. 1. Before installing tube in tire, clean inside of casing thoroughly. 2. Insert tube in tire and inflate until it is nearly rounded out. 3. Inspect rim for rust scale and bent flanges-clean rust scale and straighten flanges where necessary. 4. U sing a brush or cloth swab, apply a solution of neutral vegetable oil soap to the inside and outside of CAUTION: tire beads and also the the rim side o f the tube. Do not allow soap solution to run down into tire. 5. W hen m ounting tire and tube on a drop center rim, follow the standard procedure. Be sure tire is centered on rim so that beads are out o f rim well before inflating. Do not allow tire to h ang loosely on wheel while inflating. 6. Center valve and pull it firmly against the rim. Hold in this position and inflate until tire beads are firmly seated on rim against flanges. 7. Completely deflate tire by removing valve core. 8. Reinflate tire to recom m ended pressure. TUBELESS TIRES Tubeless tires mounted on one piece full drop center rims are standard on some trucks. These tires have a safety inner liner which if punctured, tends to cling to the penetrating object forming a partial seal until the object is removed from the tire. The mounting and dem ounting of tubeless truck tires will present no problem when a ru bb er lubricant, such as Ru-Glyde or equivalent is applied to tire beads and rim flanges. Ru-Glyde or equivalent in addition to materially assisting in mounting and dem ounting also prevents rusting at the tire sealing area and thus prevents tires from adhering to the wheel. CAUTION: A hammer, or tools with sharp edges, should never be used to demount or mount tubeless tires as damage to rim flange or tire sealing bead may result. Inspection for Leaks 1. With wheel assembly removed from vehicle, inflate the tire to recom m ended operating pressure. 2. Check for leaks at rim bead by placing wheel and tire horizontal and allowing w ater to stand in groove between rim and tire. Check for large leaks by lowering assembly into water tank or running water over tire. Demounting 1. Remove vlave core to completely deflate tire. With tire lying flat on floor, loosen beads from rim seats by walking around on tire with heels at points close to rim. With wide side o f rim down, apply tire lubricant to top bead. With stops toward rim, insert spoon ends of two tire irons about 10" apart. While standing on tire to hold bead in gutter, pull one tool toward center of rim. 2. Hold one iron in position with foot and pull second iron toward center o f rim. Progressively work bead off rim, taking additional bites if necessary. 3. Stand assembly in vertical position. Lubricate second bead. At top o f assembly insert straight end of tire iron between bead and back flange o f rim at about a 45 degree angle. 4. Turn iron so that it is perpendicular to rim. Pry second bead off. Mounting All tubeless ties will be mounted as follows: 1. Inspect rim to insure bead seats are clean and smooth. Then place rim on floor with wide side down ond lubricate first bead o f tire and upper bead seat of rim. 2. Push first bead into well o f rim and onto rim as fa r as possible. Using straight end of tire iron and with stop resting on rim flange, work rem aining section of first bead over rim. 3. Hold second bead in well by standing on tire. W hen necessary, push section o f bead into rim well and anchor with vise-grip pliers by pinching pliers on rim flange. Using spoon end o f tire iron with stop toward rim, work progressively around bead using small bites until bead slips over flange onto rim base. If necessary, insert second tire iron and lubricate last 6 " o f bead before completing. 4. Check valve to be certain that hex nut at the valve base is tight. Inflate tire to recom m ended operating pressure. Check assembly for air leaks.

The spider is shaped like an X and arms that extend from it are called trunnions. See figure 4A-1. The spider allows the two yoke shafts to operate at an angle to each other. W hen torque is transmitted at an angle, through this type o f joint, the driving yoke rotates at a constant speed while the driven yoke speeds up and slows down twice per revolution. This changing of velocity (acceleration) o f the driven yoke increases as the angle between the two yoke shafts increases. This is the prime reason why single universal joints are not used for angles greater than three to four degrees. At four degrees, for example the change o f velocity is .5%. At ten degrees it is 3%. If the universal joint were set at 30 degrees and the driving yoke were turning at 1000 RPM the velocity o f the driven yoke would change from 856 RPM to 1155 RPM in one q uarter o f a revolution. In the rem aining quarter revolution the velocity would change from 1155 RPM to 866 RPM. On a one-piece drive shaft this problem can be eliminated by arranging two simple universal joints so that the two driving yokes are rotated 90 degrees to each other. However the angle between the drive and driven yokes must be very nearly the same on both joints for this to work. Refer to figure 4A-2. This allows the alternate acceleration and deceleration o f one jo in t to be offset by the alternate deceleration and acceleration o f the second joint. W hen the two joints do not run at approximately the same angle, operation can be rough and an objectionable vibration can be produced. Universal joints are designed to consider the effects I Fig. 4A-2--Universal Joints Arranged for Constant Velocity of various loadings acceleration. W ithin universal joints will However, when the operational life o f the and rear axle windup, during the design angle variations the operate safely and efficiently. design angles are exceeded the joints m ay decrease. The bearings used in universal joints are the needle roller type. The needle rollers are held in place on the trunnion by round bearing cups. The bearing cups are held in the yoke by either (depending on the m anufacturer) snap rings or plastic injection. These joints usually are lubricated for life and cannot be lubricated while on the vehicle. Constant Velocity Joint—Double Cardan Joint As mentioned previously, the simple universal joint will operate efficiently through small angles only. Also, two simple universal joints phased properly and operating through the same angle will transm it constant velocity. W h en a large angle is encountered in a driveline, a simple universal jo in t will introduce two vibrations in each revolution. It is in this situation that a constant velocity jo in t is used. Essentially, the constant velocity joint is two simple universal joints closely coupled by a coupling yoke, phased properly for constant velocity. A centering ball socket between the joints maintains the relative position o f the two units. This centering device causes each o f the two units to operate through one-h alf o f the complete angle between the drive shaft and differential carrier. See figure 4A-3. N O T E : The ball/socket on this Constant Velocity jo in t requires periodic lubrication. A lubrication fitting is provided fo r this purpose, and is illustrated later in this section. Fig. 4A-3--Ball-Socket Location Propeller Shafts The propeller shaft is a steel tube which is used to transmit power from the transmission output shaft to the differential. To accommodate various model, wheelbase and transmission combinations, drive shafts differ in length, diam eter and the type o f splined yoke. On some models the drive shaft is made up o f concentric steel tubes with ru b b e r elements between. Each shaft is installed in the same m anner. A universal joint and splined slip yoke are located at the transmission end o f the shaft, where they are held in alignment by a bushing in the transmission rear extension. The slip yoke permits fore and aft movement of the drive shaft as the differential assembly moves up and down. The spline is lubricated internally by transmission lubricant or grease. An oil seal at the transmission prevents leakage and protects the slip yoke from dust, dirt and other harm ful material. Since the drive shaft is a balanced unit, it should be kept completely free of undercoating and other foreign material which would upset shaft balance. Both one piece and two piece propeller shafts are used depending on the model. All are tubular and use needle bearing type universal joints. On models that use a two piece shaft, the shaft is supported n ear its splined end in a ru bb er cushioned ball bearing which is mounted in a bracket attached to a frame crossmember. The ball bearing is p erm anently lubricated and sealed. F our wheel drive models use a front propeller shaft incorporating a constant velocity joint. PROPELLER SHAFT AND UNIVERSAL JOINT DIAGNOSIS Checking and Correcting Propeller Shaft Unbalance 1. Place vehicle on a twin post hoist so that the re a r wheels are free to rotate. 2. Remove both rear tire an d wheel assemblies and brake drums. C A U T IO N : Use care not to apply brakes with drums removed. 3. Visually inspect propshaft, U-Joints and attach­ ments for m ud undercoating o r other discrepancies. Make necessary corrections prior to running. 4. With vehicle running in gear at the indicated speed where disturbance is at its peak, observe the intensity of the disturbance. 5. Stop engine and disconnect drive shaft from com panion flange. Reinstall shaft by rotating it 180° from its original position. D eterm ine which position o f the com panion flange gives the best balance. 6. Install rear drums and wheels, and road test vehicle for final check o f balance. If balance is still unacceptable, replace drive shaft. D IA G N O S T IC C H A R T C O M P L A IN T PO SSIBLE CAUSE Leak at front slip yo ke. a. Rough outside surface on splined yoke. N O TE: An occasional drop o f lubricant leaking from splined yoke is normal and requires no attention. b. Defective transmission rear oil seal. Knock in drive line, clunking noise when car is operated under floating condition at 10 mph in high gear or neutral. C O R R E C T IO N a. Replace seal i f cut by burrs on yo ke. Minor burrs can be sm oothed by careful use o f crocus cloth or honing w ith a fine stone. Replace y o k e if outside surface is rough or burred badly. b. Replace transmission rear oil seal. c. Bring transmission oil up to proper level after correction. a. Worn or damaged universal joints. a. Disassemble universal joints, inspect and replace worn or damaged parts. b. b. Replace differential case and/or side gears as required. Side gear hub counterbore in differential worn oversize. Ping, Snap or Click in drive line. a. Loose upper or lower control arm bushing bolts. a. Tighten bolts to specified torque. NOTE: Usually occurs on initial load application after transmission has been put into gear, either forward or reverse. b. Loose companion flange. b. Remove companion flange, turn 180° from its original position, apply white lead to splines and reinstall. Tighten pinion nut to specified torque. C O M P L A IN T Roughness, Vibration or Body Boom at any speed. NOTE: With tachometer installed in car, determine whether propeller shaft is cause of complaint by driving through speed range and note the engine speed (rpm) at which vibration (roughness) is most pronounced. Then, shift transmission to a different gear range and drive car at same engine speed (rpm) at which vibration was noted before. Note the effect on the vibration. If vibration occurs at the same engine speed (rpm), regardless of transmission gear range selected, drive shaft assembly is not at fault, since the shaft speed (rpm) varies. If vibration decreased, or is eliminated, in a different gear range but at the same engine speed (rpm), check the possible causes: C O R R E C T IO N P O S S IB L E C A U S E a. . Bent or dented drive shaft. a. Replace. b. Undercoating on drive shaft. b. Clean drive shaft. c. Tire unbalance. (30-80 mph, not throttle conscious) c. Balance or replace as required. d. Excessive U-bolt torque. d. Check and correct to specified torque. e. Tight unive rsal j oints. e. Impact yokes with a hammer to free up. Overhaul joint if unable to free up or if joint feels rough when rotated by hand. f. Worn universal joints. f. g. Burrs or gouges on companion flange. Check snap ring locating surfaces on flange yoke. g. Rework or replace companion flange. h. Drive shaft or companion flange unbalance. h. Check for missing balance weights on drive shaft. Remove and reassemble drive shaft to companion flange, 180° from original position. i. Excessive looseness at slip yoke spline. i. Replace necessary parts. j. j. Drive shaft runout (50-80 mph throttle conscious) Check drive shaft runout at front and rear. Should be less than specified. If above, rotate shaft 180° and recheck. If still above specified, replace shaft. Overhaul, replacing necessary parts. Roughness usually at low speeds, light load, 15-35 mph. a. U-bolt clamp nuts excessively tight. a. Check and correct torque to that specified. If torque was excessive or if brenelled pattern on trunnions is evident, replace joints. Scraping noise. a. Slinger, companion flange, or end yoke rubbing on rear axle carrier. a. Straighten slinger to remove interference. Roughness on heavy acceleration (short duration.) a. Double cardan joint ball seats worn. Ball seat spring may be broken. a. Replace joint and shaft assembly. Roughness -- above 35 mph felt and/or heard. a. Tires unbalanced or worn. a. Balance or replace as required. UNIT REPAIR PROPELLER SHAFT Two methods are used to retain the propeller shaft to the dilferential pinion flange. One method utilizes " U " bolts, and the other is a strap attachment. Refer to figures 4A-6 and 4A-7. Removal 1. Raise vehicle on hoist. Mark relationship o f shaft to com panion flange and disconnect the rear universal jo in t by removing tru m m io n bearing " U " bolts or straps. T ap e bearing cups to trunnion to prevent d ro p ping and loss o f bearing rollers. 2. For models with two-piece shafts remove bolts retaining bearing support to hanger. 3. Slide pro peller sh aft fo rw ard disengaging trunnion from axle flange, then slide assembly rearward disengaging from transmission. N OTE: F or models using strap o r U-bolt attachm ents to transmission or transfer case use same removal procedure as above. Universal Joints On models with between center slip propshaft it is im p o rta n t th a t c om po ne n ts are m a rk e d p rio r to dissassembly for pro p e r phasing. Arrows are stamped on assemblies as shown in Fig. 4A-8. NOTE: The universal joints are o f the extendedlife design and do not require periodic inspection or lubrication; however, when these joints are disassem bled, repack b earings and lubricate reservoir at end o f trunnions with high-melting point wheel bearing lubricant use care not to dam age or dislodge seals from trunnion. Snap Ring Type Disassembly 1. Remove bearing lock rings from trunnion yoke. 2. Support trunnion yoke on a piece o f 1-1/4" I.D. pipe on an arb or bed. NOTE: Due to length o f the propeller shaft it may be more convenient to use a bench vise, for removal and installation, instead o f an arbo r press. In this case, proceed with disassembly and assembly procedure as with an arbor press Fig. 4A9 and 4A-10. 3. Using a suitable socket or rod, press on trunnion 1. T r u n n io n 2. Seal 3.

G rasp cup in vise and work cup out of yoke. See figures 4A-9 and 4A-10. Partially install other cup. Align trunnion into cup, and press cups into yoke. 2. Install lock rings. N OTE: The bearing cup cannot be fully pressed out. 4. Press trunnion in opposite direction and remove o th er cup as in Step 3. 5. Clean and inspect dust seals, bearing rollers, and trunnion. Relubricate bearings as indicated in Section 0. N OTE: In addition to packing the bearings, make sure that the lubricant reservoir at the end o f each trunnion is completely filled with lubricant. In filling these reservoirs, pack lubricant into the hole so as to fill from the bottom (use o f squeeze bottle is recom m ended). This will prevent air pockets and ensure an adequate supply o f lubricant. Reassembly Fig. 4A-11 1. Position trun nion into yoke. Paritally install b earing cup into yoke. Start trunnion into bearing cup. Injected Plastic Type Disassembly NOTE: N ever clamp drive sh aft tubing in a vise as the tube may be dented. Always clamp on one of the yokes, and support the shaft horizontally. Avoid da m a g in g the slip yoke sealing surface. Nicks may dam age the bushing or cut the seal lip. 1. Support the drive shaft in a horizontal position in line with the base plate o f a press. Place the universal joint so that the lower ear o f the shaft yoke is supported on a 1-1/8" socket. Place the cross press, J-9522-3, on the open horizontal bearing cups, and press the lower bearing cup out o f the yoke ear as shown in figure 4A12. This will shear the plastic retaining the lower bearing cup. 2. If the bearing cup is not completely removed, onelift the cross and insert Spacer J-9522-5 between the seal l '/ g " SOCKET TO SUPPORT YOKE EAR BUT MUST CLEAR BEARING CUP and bearing cup being removed, as shown in figure 4A13. Complete the removal of the bearing cup, by pressing it out o f the yoke. 3. Rotate the drive shaft, shear the opposite plastic retainer, and press the opposite bearing cup out o f the yoke as before, using Spacer J-9522. 4. Disengage cross from yoke and remove. N O TE : Production universal joints cannot be reassembled. There are no bearing retainer grooves in production bearing cups. Discard all universal jo in t parts removed. 5. Remove the rem ains o f the sheared plastic bearing retainer from the ears o f the yoke. This will aid in reassembly o f the service jo in t bearing cups. It usually is easier to remove plastic if a small pin or punch is first driven through the injection holes. 6. If the front universal jo in t is being serviced, remove the pair of b earing cups from the slip yoke in the same m anner. Reassembly A universal jo in t service kit is used w hen reassembling this joint. See figure 4A-14. This kit includes one pregreased cross assembly, four service bearing cup assemblies with seals, needle rollers, washers, grease and four bearing retainers. M ake sure that the seals are in place on the service bearing cups to hold the needle rollers in place for handling. 1. Remove all o f the rem ains o f the sheared plastic b earing retainers from the grooves in the yokes. The sheared plastic may prevent the bearing cups from being pressed into place, and this prevent the bearing retainers from being properly seated. 2. Install one bearing cup p a rt way into one side of the yoke, and turn this yoke ear to the bottom. 3. Insert cross into yoke so that the trunnion seats freely into b earing cup as shown in figure 4A-15. ROLLER B EA R IN G S B E A R IN G RETAINER Fig. 4A-14 Repair Kit 4. Install opposite bearing cup part way. Make sure that both trunnions are started straight and true into both bearing cups. 5. Press against opposite bearing cups, working the cross all o f the time to check for free movement of the trunnions in the bearings. If there seems to be a h an g­ up, stop pressing and recheck needle rollers, to determine if one or more o f them has been tipped un der the end o f the trunnion. 6. As soon as one bearing retainer groove clears the inside o f the yoke, stop pressing and snap the bearing retainer into place as shown in figure 4A-16. 7. Continue to press until the opposite bearing retainer can be snap ped into place. If difficulty is encountered, strike the yoke firmly with a h a m m e r to aid in seating bearing retainers. This springs the yoke ears slightly. See figure 4A-17. 8. Assemble the other half o f the universal jo int in the same manner. 5. Assemble bearing support as follows: a. Install inner deflector on propeller shaft, if removed, and prick punch deflector at two opposite points to make sure it is tight on shaft. b. Fill space between in ner dust shield and bearing with lithium soap grease. c. Start bearing and slinger assembly straight on shaft journal. Support propeller shaft and, using suitable length o f pipe over splined end o f shaft, press bearing and inner slinger against shoulder on shaft. d. Install dust shield over shaft, small diam eter first and press into position against outer slinger. e. Install rub ber cushion onto bearing. f. Install bracket onto cushion. g. Install retaining strap. Installation of Propshafts Fig. 4A -16--lnstalling Snap Ring to Retain Trunnion 9.

N O TE : W h e n re installing prop sh afts, it is necessary to place the shafts into particular positions to assure proper operation. This is called phasing. All models with 32 splines use an alignment key, as shown in figure 4A-19, to obtain p rop er phasing. The shafts can mate only in the correct position. G and K models with 16 splines must be phased as shown in figure 4A-20. 1. For models with one piece propeller shafts, slide shaft into transmission and attach rear U -jointto axle. 2. For C-P models with two-piece propeller shafts, proper phasing is accomplished with the alignm ent key, shown in figure 4A-19. 3. F or G -K models with two piece shafts, install front h alf into transmission and bolt support to crossmember. a. Slide grease cap and gasket onto rear splines. b. Rotate shaft so front U-joint trunnion is in correct position. See figure 4A-20. c. Take rear propeller shaft and before install­ ing, align U-joint trunnions as shown in figure 4A-20. Attach rear U-joint to axle. Tighten grease cap. d. Torque bearing support to crossmem ber and U -joint to axle attachments.

A basic differential consists o f a set o f four gears. Two o f these gears are called differential side gears, an d the other two are differential p inion gears. Some differentials have more than two pinion gears. Each side gear is splined to an axle shaft. Consequently, each axle shaft must turn w hen its side gear rotates. T h e differential pinion gears are mounted on a differential p inion shaft, and the gears are free to rotate on this shaft. T he pinion shaft is fitted into a bore in the differential case and is at right angles to the axle shafts. Power flow through the differential is as follows: The drive p inion roates the ring gear. The ring gear, being bolted to the differential case, rotates the case. The differential pinion, as it rotates w ith the case, forces the pinion gears against the side gears. W hen both wheels have equal traction, the pinion gears do not rotate on the pinion shaft because the input force on the pinion gear is equally divided between the two side gears. See figure 4B-1. Consequently, the pinion gears revolve with the pinion shaft, but do not rotate around the shaft itself. The side gears, being splined to the axle shafts and in mesh with the pinion gears, rotate the axle shafts. If a vehicle were always driven in a straight line, the ring and pinion gears would be sufficient. The axle shaft could then be solidly attached to the ring gear and both driving wheels would turn at equal speeds. However, if it became necessary to turn a corner, the tires would scuff and slide because the outer wheel would travel further than the inner wheel, as in figure 4B-2. To prevent tire scuffing an d sliding, the differential becomes effective and allows the axle shafts to rotate at different speeds. As the inner wheel slows down, the side gear splined to that axle shaft also slows down. At this point, the pinion gears act as balancing levers by m aintaining equal speeds o f rotation o f the axle shafts.See figure4B-3.

Welded-on brackets provide attachm ent points for suspension componenets such as shock absorbers and leaf springs. A welded flange is provided for brake flange plate attachment. An overhung hypoid drive pinion is supported by two preloaded tapered roller bearings. The pinion shaft is sealed by means o f a molded, spring loaded, rubber seal. The seal is mounted on the pinion flange which is splined and bolted to the hypoid pinion shaft. The hypoid ring gear is bolted to a one-piece differential case which is supported by two preloaded tapered roller bearings.

If the inner wheel slows to 75%, the outer wheel would turn 125%. If one wheel stopped, the other wheel would turn 200%. Six distinct axles compromise the truck line-up. These six, categorized by ring gear diameter, are a) 8-1/ 2" and b) 8 -7 /8 " Ring G ear, c) Chevrolet 10-1/2" Ring G ear, d) D a n a 10-1/2" Ring G ear, e) D a n a 9 -3 /4 " Ring G e a r and f)Chevrolet 12-1/4" Ring Gear. 8 - 1 / 2 " and 8 - 7 / 8 " Ring Gear Axle The axle shown in figure 4B-4 is a semifloating, fabricated constructed type consisting o f a cast carrier with large bosses on each end into which two welded steel tubes are fitted. The carrier contains an overhung hypoid pinion an d ring gear. The differential is a two pinion a rrangem ent. The axle housing is m ade up of two steel welded tubes pressed into the crossbore o f the cast carrier. Each The axle shown in figure 4B-5 is of the full floating type with hypoid ring gear and drive pinion. The full floating construction enables easy removal o f axle shafts without removing truck load and without jacking up the axle. The differential carrier is heavily ribbed to provide rigid support for the differential assembly. The straddle-mounted drive pinion is supported at the front by two opposed tapered roller bearings. The pinion straddle bearing is a roller bearing assembly consisting o f an outer race and roller assembly. A precision ground d iam eter on the pinion pilot functions as an inner race. Side bearing preload and ring gear-to-pinion backlash are controlled by side bearing adjusting nuts threaded into the carrier near the axle tubes. Pinion depth is controlled by a shim located between the pinion bearing retainer assembly and the differential carrier. Dana 1 0 - 1 / 2 " Ring Gear Axle The D ana axle shown in figure 4B-6 is a Salisburytype similar in design to the 8 -7 /8 " ring gear axle in figure 4B-4. It does differ in several points, however. The axle shafts are full floating; the carrier must be spread to remove the differential; and the drive pinion incorpo­ rates two shim packs. The inner pack controls pinion 1.

Dana 9 - 3 / 4 " Ring Gear Axle T he D a n a axle shown in figure 4B-7 is similar to the unit shown in 4B-6; however, the differential side bearing shims are located between the case and the side bearings. C hevrolet 1 2 - 1 / 4 " Ring Gear Axle (1 1 ,0 0 0 Pound Capacity) T he 11,000 lb. capacity, single-speed hypoid axle, illustrated in figure 4B-8, has a straddle mounted drive pinion which is supported at the re a r by a straight roller bearing. The pinion front bearing consists o f a double row ball bearing. The differential is a conventional four-pinion type. Thrust washers are used between the side gears and case and also between differential pinions and the differential case. A thrust pad mounted on the end o f an adjusting screw threaded into the carrier housing limits deflection o f the ring gear under high torque conditions. Involute splines are incorporated in the axle shaft flange and in the wheel hubs. This design provides for the driving torque to be transmitted from the axle shaft to the hub through the m ating splines. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.

Locating a broken axle shaft, or broken differential gear, presents little or no problem, but, locating and isolating axle noise can be an entirely different matter. Degree of Noise Any gear driven unit, and especially an automotive drive axle where engine torque multiplication occurs at a 90° turn in the drive line, produces a certain am ount o f noise. Therefore, an interpretation must be m ade for each vehicle to determ ine w hether the noise is normal or if a problem actually exists. A norm al am ount o f noise must be expected and cann ot be eliminated by conventional repairs or adjustment. See figure 4B-9. Acceptable noise can be defined as a slight noise heard only at a certain speed or under unusual or remote conditions. For example, this noise tends to reach a " p e a k " at speeds from 40 to 60 miles per hour depend in g on road and load conditions, or on gear ratio and tire size. This slight noise is in no way indicative of trouble in the axle assembly. Drive line noises m ay baffle even the best d ia g n o stic ia n . Vehicle noises co m ing from tires, transmission, propeller shaft, universal joints, and front or rear wheel bearings, are often mistaken for axle noise. Such practices as: raising tire pressure to eliminate tire noise (although this will not silence tread noise o f mud and snow tires), listening for the noise at varying speeds and road surfaces, on drive, float, and coast conditions will aid in locating the source o f alleged axle noises. Thus, every effort should be m ade to isolate the noise to a specific drive line com ponent instead o f making a r a n d o m guess that could be a costly waste o f time. Elimination of External Noises W h e n a rear axle is suspected of being noisy, it is advisable to m ake a thorough test to determ ine whether the noise originates in the tires, road surface, front wheel bearings, engine, transmission, or rear axle assembly. N oise which originates in other places cannot be corrected by adjustm ent or replacement o f parts in the rear axle assembly. Road N o ise -S o m e road surfaces, such as brick or rough-surfaced concrete, cause noise which may be mistaken for tire or rear axle noise. Driving on a different type o f road, such as smooth asphalt or dirt, will quickly show w hether the road surface is the cause o f noise. R oad noise usually is the same on drive or coast. Tire Noise- Tire noise may easily be mistaken for rear axle noise, even though the noisy tires m ay be located on the front wheels. Tires worn unevenly, or SOME t/O/SE/S ACCEPTABLE having surfaces on non-skid divisions worn in saw-tooth fashion, are usually noisy and m ay produce vibrations which seem to originate elsewhere in the vehicle. This is particularly true with low tire pressure. Test for Tire N oise-T ire noise changes with different road surfaces, but rear axle noise does not. T emporarily inflating all tires to approximately 50 pounds pressure, for test purposes only will materially alter noise caused by tires but will not affect noise caused by the rear axle. R ear axle noise usually ceases when coasting at speeds under 30 miles p e r hour; however, tire noise continues but with lower tone as vehicle speed is reduced. R e a r axle noise usually ch ang es when com paring "p ull" and "coast" but tire noise remains about the same. Engine and Transmission N oises-Som etim es a noise which seems to originate in the rear axle is actually caused by the engine or transmission. To determine which unit is actually causing the noise, observe approximate car speeds and conditions un der which the noise is most pronounced; then stop vehicle in a quiet place to avoid interfering noises. W ith transmission in neutral, run engine slowly up and down through engine speeds corresponding to vehicle speed at which the noise was most pronounced. If a similar noise is produced with vehicle standing, it is caused by the engine or transmission and not the rear axle. Front Wheel Bearing N o ise- Loose or rough front wheel bearings will cause noise which m ay be confused with rear axle noises; however, front wheel bearing noise does not change w hen com paring "pu ll" and "coast". Light application o f brake, while holding vehicle speed steady, will often cause wheel bearing noise to diminish, as this takes some weight off the bearing. Front wheel bearings may be easily checked for noise by jacking up the wheels and spinning them, and also be shaking wheels to determ ine if bearings are excessively loose. Body Boom Noise or Vibration Objectional "bo dy boo m " noise or vibration at 5565 mph can be caused by an unbalanced propeller shaft. Excessive looseness at the spline can contribute to this unbalance. Other items that may also contribute to the noise problem are as follows: 1. U ndercoating or mud on the shaft, causing unbalance. 2. S haft or com panion flange balance weights missing. 3. S haft dam age, such as bending, dents, or nicks. 4. Tire-type roughness. Switch tires from a known good car to determ ine tire fault. If, after m aking a comprehensive check of the vehicle, all indications point to the rear axle, further diagnostic steps are necessary to determ ine the axle com ponents at fault. True axle noises generally fall into two categories: gear noise and bearing noise. Rear Axle Noises If a careful test of vehicle shows that noise is not caused by external items it is then reasonable to assume that noise is caused by rear axle assembly. The rear axle should be tested on a smooth level road to avoid road noise. It is not advisable to test rear axle for noise by r u n n in g with rear wheels jacked up. Noises in rear axle assembly may be caused by a faulty propeller shaft, faulty rear wheel bearings, faulty differential or pinion shaft bearings, misalignment between two U-joints, or worn differential side gears and pinions; noises may also be caused by mismatched, im properly adjusted, or scored ring and pinion gear set. Rear Wheel Bearing Noise- A rough rear wheel bearing produces a vibration or growl which continues with vehicle coasting and transmission in neutral. A brinelled rear wheel bearing causes a knock or click approxim ately every two revolutions of rear wheel, since the bearing rollers do not travel at the same speed as the re a r axle and wheel. With rear wheels jacked up, spin re a r wheels by hand while listening at hubs for evidence o f rough or brinelled wheel bearing. Differential Side Gear and Pinion Noise^Differential side gears and pinions seldom cause noise since their m ovem ent is relatively slight on straight ahead driving. Noise produced by these gears will be most pronounced on turns. Pinion Bearing failures can be distinguished because they rotate at higher speeds than differential side bearings and axle shaft bearings. Rough or brinelled pinion bearings produce a continuous low pitched w h irrin g or scraping noise starting at relatively low speed. Side Bearings produce a constant rough noise o f a lower pitch th a n pinion bearings. Side bearing noise may also fluctuate in the above wheel bearing test. N O TE : Bearing Diagnosis Charts appe a r later in this section. Gear Noise There are two basic types o f gear noise. The first type is produced by broken, bent, or forcibly dam aged gear teeth and is usually quite audible over the entire speed range and presents no particular problem in diagnosis. F or example, hypoid gear tooth scoring as seen in figure 4B-10 generally results from the following: insufficient lu b ric a n t im p ro p e r breakin, im p ro p e r lubricant, insufficient gear backlash, im proper ring and Fig. 4B-10--Two Causes of Gear Noise pinion gear alignment, or loss of drive pinion nut torque. The scoring will progressively lead to complete erosion o f the gear tooth, or gear tooth pitting and eventual fracture if the initial scoring condition is not corrected. A nother cause o f hypoid tooth fracture is extended overloading o f the gear set which will produce fatigue fracture, or shock loading which will result in sudden failure. Differential pinion and side gears rarely give trouble. C om m on causes o f differential failure are shock loading, extended overloading, and seizure of the differential pinions to the cross shaft resulting from excessive wheel spin and con seq uen t lubrication breakdown. The second type o f gear noise pertains to the mesh pattern o f the gear teeth. This form o f a bnorm al gear noise can be recognized as it produces a cycling pitch (whine) and will be very pronounced in the speed range at which it occurs, a ppearing under either "drive", "float" or "coast" conditions. "D riv e " is acceleration or heavy pull. "C o ast" is with a closed throttle and vehicle in gear and "float" is using just enough throttle to keep the car from driving the engine—the vehicle slows down gradually but engine still pulls slightly. G e a r noise tends to peak in a narrow speed range or ranges, and will tend to rem ain constant in pitch. Bearing noise will vary in pitch with vehicle speeds. See figure 4B-11.

ON-VEHICLE SERVICE 8 - 1 / 2 and 8 - 7 / 8 RING GEAR AXLE AXLE ASSEMBLY Construction o f the axle assembly is such that service operations may be p erform ed with the housing installed in the vehicle or with the housing installed in a holding fixture. The following removal and installation procedure is necessary only when the housing requires replacement. CAUTION: See C A U T IO N on page 1 o f this section, regarding A x le Assembly fasteners. Removal 1. Raise vehicle on hoist. 2. Support rear axle assembly with suitable lifting device, so that tension is relieved in springs and shock absorbers. 3. Remove trunnion bearing " U " bolts from the axle com panion flange, separate trunnion from flange, position propeller sh aft to one side and tie it to fram e side rail.

The split system consists basically o f two separate brake systems. W hen a failure is encountered on either, the other is adequate to stop the vehicle. If one system is not functioning, it is normal for the brake pedal lash and pedal effort to substantially increase. This occurs because o f the design o f the master cylinder which incorporates an actuating piston for each system. W hen the rear system loses fluid, its piston will bottom against the front piston. W hen the front system loses fluid, its piston will bottom on the end o f the master cylinder body. The pressure differential in one o f the systems causes an uneven hydraulic pressure balance between the front and rear systems. The combination valve (near the master cylinder) detects the loss o f pressure and illuminates the brake alarm indicator light on the instrument panel. The pressure loss is felt at the brake pedal by an ap parent lack o f brakes for most of the brake travel and then, w hen failed ch am b er is bottomed, the pedal will harden. If a vehicle displays these symptoms, it is a good indication that one o f the systems contains air or has failed, an d it is necessary to bleed or repair the brakes. M A S TE R CYLINDER The system is designed with a separate hydraulic system for the front and rear brakes using a dual master cylinder. The cylinder has two separate reservoirs and outlets in a co m m o n body casting. if a failure should occur, and turns " o n " a red light in the dash to w arn the operator of the failure. DISC BRAKES FRO NT All models have disc brakes on the front. The one piece caliper mounts on the steering knuckle/steering arm, which is also a one piece casting, an d astride the brake disc. The caliper is the single piston design which is said to be a sliding caliper sliding piston. N o front brake adjustment is necessary once the system is in operation and the pedal has been stroked to "s ea t" the shoes to the caliper. DISC BRAKES REAR (JF9) C O M B IN A T IO N VALVE All models have a com bination valve. The front and rear hydraulic lines are routed through this com bination " m e te rin g " and "b ra k e failure w arning switch" to their a pp rop riate wheel cylinders or caliper. The m etering portion of the com bination valve tends to "hold off" front hydraulic pressure until the rear brake system overcomes the pull back springs; then pressure is allowed to flow with the result being a good distribution of braking effort. T he brake failure w arning switch portion o f the c o m bination valve "senses" a loss o f hydraulic pressure, R ear disc brakes operate in the same m an ner as front disc brakes except the caliper is mounted to a support attached to the axle flange. D RU M BRAKES REAR The rear brakes are duo servo and self adjusting. Brake adjustment takes place w hen the brakes are applied with a firm pedal effort while the vehicle is backing up. Applying the brakes moves the actuator which turns the star wheel and lengthens the adjuster screw assembly. This action moves the shoes outward until clearance between the lining and drum is within proper limits. DIAGNOSIS IN S P E C T IO N AND TE S TIN G BRAKES Testing Brakes CAUTION: New linings m ust be protected fro m severe use f o r several hundred miles. Brakes should be tested on dry, clean, reasonably smooth and level roadway. A true test o f brake perform an ce cann ot be m ade if roadway is wet, greasy o r covered with loose dirt so that all tires do not grip the road equally. Testing will also be adversely affected if roadw ay is crowned so as to throw weight o f vehicle toward wheels on one side or if roadway is so rough that wheels tend to bounce. Test brakes at different vehicle speeds with both light and heavy pedal pressure; however, avoid locking the wheels and sliding the tires on roadway. Locked wheels and sliding tires do not indicate brake efficiency since heavily braked but turning wheels will stop vehicle in less distance than locked wheels. More tire-to-road friction is present with a heavily braked turning tire than with a sliding tire. External Conditions that Affect Brake Performance 1. Tires--Tires having unequal contact and grip on road will cause unequal braking. Tires must be equally inflated and tread p attern o f right and left tires must be approximately equal. 2. Vehicle Loading--When vehicle has unequal loading, the most heavily loaded wheels require more braking power than others. A heavily loaded vehicle requires more braking effort. 3. Front Wheel Bearings-A loose front wheel bearing permits the drum to tilt and have spotty contact with the brake shoe linings causing erratic action. 4. Front End A lignment-M isalignm ent o f the front end, particularly in regard to limits on cam ber and theoretical king pin inclination, will cause the brakes to pull to one side.

A fte r these possible causes have been elim inated, ch eck fo r the probable cause and rem edy as o u tlin ed below: Norm al O p erating Characteristics Brake pedal application o f the H ydro-boost system differs in som e respects from a vacuum type pow er brake system in th e follow ing m anner: 1. On pedal application u n til b o o ster run-out, slight pow er steering pum p noise m ay be heard. 2. Pedal application through run-out will n o t necessarily be sm ooth due to th e internal ratio change, i t is possible to push the pedal past run-out because o f th e higher pedal ratio. A t run-out o f the vacuum booster the pedal ju st becom es hard. N O BOOST - 3. On the first full application o f th e brake pedal, a slight hissing sound m ay be heard. T he hiss is the accum ulator charging and the noise should go away in a sh o rt period o f time. 4. On a spike brake application, a slight pedal kick-back may be felt. 5. If the vehicle is started w ith the pedal de­ pressed, the pedal will fall away slightly then return back to approxim ately the original position. H ARD PEDAL P relim inary Check W ith the engine stopped, depress the brake pedal several times to eliminate all accumulator reserve from the system. Hold the brake pedal depressed with medium pressure (25 to 35 lbs.), start the engine. If the unit is operating correctly, the brake pedal will fall slightly and then push back against the driver's foot, remaining at about the same position. If the booster is not operating correctly, the trouble may be one of the following causes: P ro b a b le C ause R em ed y 1. Lo o se o r b r o k e n power s t e e r i n g pump bel t . 1.

Hold fo ra maximum of five seconds. Then release the steering wheel and turn off the engine. Depress and release the brake pedal. There should be a minimum of three power assisted brake applications before a hard pedal is obtained. Re-start the engine and turn the steering wheel until the wheels contact the wheel stops lightly. There should be a light hissing sound as the accumulator is charged. Hold steering wheel lightly against stop for a maximum of five seconds. Then release the steering wheel, and turn off the engine. Wait one hour and apply brake pedal (do not re-start the engine). There should still be a minimum of three power assisted brake applications before obtaining a hard pedal. If either of these preliminary checks shows that the accumulator is not holding its charge, the trouble may be one of the following causes. P r o b a b le Cause Remedy 1.

ON-VEHICLE SERVICE PEDAL TRAVEL At reasonably frequent intervals, the brakes should be inspected for pedal travel, which is the distance the pedal moves toward the floor from a fully-released position. Inspection should be m ade with the brake pedal firmly depressed (approxim ately 90 lbs.) while the brakes are cold. C-K-G M a n u a l .........4.5" C-K-G P o w e r.........3.5" P (Except J F 9 ) ...... 3.5" P ( J F 9 ) .............. 6.0" O n power brake-equipped vehicles, p u m p the pedal a m inim um o f 3 times with the engine off before making pedal travel checks. This exhausts all vacuum from the power booster. STOP LIGHT SWITCH Adjustm ent The stop light switch is mounted on a flange pro truding from the brake pedal support. 1. Release the brake pedal to its normal position. 2. Adjust switch by turning in or out as necessary. Electrical contact should be made when the brake pedal is depressed 1.0-1.24" (C-K models), .70" (G-P models) from its fully released position. 3. Tighten switch locknut, if so equipped, and connect electrical harness. BLEEDING AND FLUSHING BRAKE SYSTEM Bleeding Brake Hydraulic System A bleeding operation is necessary to remove air w henever it is introduced into the hydraulic brake system. It m ay be necessary to bleed the hydraulic system at all four wheel cylinders if air has been introduced through low fluid level or by disconnecting brake pipes at master cylinder. If brake pipe is disconnected at any wheel cylinder, then that wheel cylinder only need be bled. If pipes are disconnected at any fitting located between m aster cylinder and wheel cylinders, then all wheel cylinders served by the disconnected pipe must be bled. M anual Bleed If the vehicle is equipped with power brakes, deplete the vacuum reserve by applying the brakes several times. 1. Fill m aster cylinder with brake fluid and keep at least on e-half full o f fluid du rin g bleeding operation. Bleed right rear brake, left rear brake, right front brake and left front brake. 2. W ith the proper size box end wrench or Tool J-21472 over bleeder valve, attach bleeder tube to valve and allow tube to hang subm erged in brake fluid in a clean glass j a r (fig. 5-1). 3. Open the bleeder valve and fully depress the brake pedal. 4. Close bleeder valve and release brake pedal. 5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until all air is evacuated. Check and refill master cylinder reservoir as required to prevent air from being drawn through master cylinder. 6. Repeat the bleeding procedure at all wheels if the entire system is to be bled. 7. Check the brake pedal, feel for "sponginess" and repeat entire bleeding procedure if necessary. Flushing Brake Hydraulic System It is recom m ended that the entire hydraulic system be thoroughly flushed with clean brake fluid whenever new parts are installed in the hydraulic system. Flushing is also recom m ended if there is any doubt as to the grade of fluid in the system. If fluid has been used which contains the slightest trace of mineral oil, all ru bber parts that have been subjected to the contam i­ nated fluid should be replaced. BRAKE PIPES Replacement (Figs. 5-2 thru 5-4) W A R N IN G : NEVER USE COPPER T U B IN G BECAUSE COPPER IS SUBJECT TO FATIGUE CRACKING A N D C O RRO SION W H IC H COULD RESULT IN BRAKE FAILURE.

If any o f the above conditions are observed on the brake hose, it will be necessary to replace it. Front Brake Hose R em o val (fig s . 5 -2 th ru 5 -4 ) 1. Raise vehicle on hoist. 2. Clean dirt and foreign material from both hose end fittings. 3. Disconnect brake pipe from hose fitting using a back-up wrench on fitting. Be careful not to bend frame bracket or brake pipe. It may be necessary to soak the connections with p enetrating oil. 4. Remove " U " clip from female fitting at bracket and remove hose from bracket. 5. Remove bolt from caliper end o f hose. Remove hose from caliper, and discard the two copper gaskets on either side of fitting block. In s ta lla tio n Fig. 5-5--Typical Rear Hose Fittings 1. Procure the recom m ended tubing and steel fitting nuts o f the correct size. (Outside diam eter of tubing is used to specify size.) 2. Cut tubing to length. Correct length may be determ ined by measuring old pipe using a cord and ad ding 1 /8 " for each double flare. 3. D ouble flare tubing ends using a suitable flaring tool such as J-23530. Follow instructions included in tool set. M ake sure fittings are second flare. installed before starting W A R N IN G : DOUBLE FLARING TOOL M U S T BE USED AS SIN G LE CANNOT PRODUCE ENOUGH TO HOLD A FLARING FLARE THE TOOLS STRONG NECESSARY PRESSURE. 1. Use new copper gaskets on both sides o f fitting block, wet bolt threads with brake fluid, then with fitting orientation flange engaged with the caliper orientation ledge on JB8 and JF9 (hose located in caliper gate on all except JB8 and JF9), fasten hose to caliper; torque to specifications. 2. With weight o f vehicle on suspension, pass female fitting through frame or fram e bracket. Fitting fits the bracket in only one position. With least am ount of twist in hose, install fitting in this position. There should be no kinks in hose. 3. Install " U " clip to female fitting at frame bracket. 4. Attach brake pipe to hose fitting using a backup w'rench on fitting; torque to specifications. 5. Inspect to see that hose doesn’t make contact with any p art of suspension. Check in extreme right hand and extreme left h and turn conditions. If hose makes any contact, remove and correct. 6. Bleed brake system. 7. Lower vehicle from hoist. Rear Brake Hose R em o val 4. Bend pipe assembly to match old pipe using a tubing bender. Clearance o f .75" must be m aintained to all moving or vibrating parts. BRAKE HOSES Inspection The flexible hydraulic brake hose which transmits hydraulic pressure from the steel brake pipe on the fram e to the rear axle and to the calipers should be inspected every 4 months or 6,000 miles (heavy duty emission vehicles), every 12 m onths or 7,500 miles (light duty emission vehicles). The brake hose assembly should be checked for road hazard dam age, for cracks and chafing o f the outer cover, and for leaks and blisters. A light and m irror may be needed for an adequate 1. Raise vehicle on hoist. 2. Remove all three brake pipes from hose, two at junction block and, with the use o f a back-up wrench, one on the female fitting at bracket. Be careful not to bend bracket or pipes; use penetrating oil if necessary. 3. Remove " U " clip and take female fitting out of bracket (fig. 5-5). 4. Observe position at w'hich junction block is mounted to the axle. W hen installing new hose be sure this junction block is in the same position. 5. Remove bolt attaching junction block to axle. In s ta lla tio n 1. T hread both rear axle pipes into junction block. 2. Bolt junction block to axle and then torque rear pipes into block. 3. Pass female end o f hose through bracket; female fitting will fit bracket in only 1 position (except G models), 2 positions (G models). W ithout twisting hose, position female end in bracket. 4. Install " U " clip. 5. Attach pipe to female fitting using a back-up wrench on fitting; torque to specification, again be careful not to bend bracket or pipe. Check to see that hose installation did not loosen fram e bracket, re-torque bracket if necessary. 6. Bleed system. 7. Lower vehicle from hoist. 2. Remove nuts from the engine com partm ent on C, K and G models or bolts from m ounting bracket on P models. N OTE: Take notice o f the spacers on P models for reinstallation. 3. Disconnect the release handle rod at the parking brake assembly end (C-K models). 4. Remove the bolts from the underside o f the dash and lower the brake assembly (C-K-G Models). 5. C-K-G Models-Disconnect the cable ball from the parking brake clevis and remove the assembly. P Models^Remove the clevis pin and disconnect the cable from the brake assembly; remove the assembly. BLEEDING HYDRO-BOOST/POWER STEERING HYDRAULIC SYSTEM In s ta lla tio n T he following procedure should be used to bleed the power steering hydraulic system on hydro-boost vehicles. N O T E : If the power steering fluid has foam ed due to low fluid level, it will be necessary to park the vehicle for approximately one hour (reservoir cap loose) so that the foam can dissipate. 1. Raise the front o f the vehicle on a hoist so that the tires are clear o f the floor. 2. Check reservoir and fill with G M Power Steering Fluid (or equivalent). N O T E : Leave the reservoir cap off- during entire bleed procedure. 3. Install a remote control starter switch so that engine can be cranked but not started. C A U T IO N : Whenever the engine is cranked remotely at the starter, with a special ju m p er or other means, the distributor prim ary lead must be disconnected fr o m the negative post on the coil. 4. Crank engine for 4 to 5 second intervals while pouring fluid into the reservoir. 5. Fill reservoir and crank as in step 4 until system will no longer accept fluid. It is norm al that fluid may spill w hen cranking stops (it is the result o f air in the system trying to escape). To prevent spilling, crank engine. 6. Remove remote control starter switch. Reinstall distributor p rim a ry lead. 7. Start engine and allow to run 2 seconds. 8. Check and refill fluid reservoir if necessary. 9. Start engine and depress the brake pedal several times while rotating the steering wheel from stop to stop. 10. Turn engine off and then p u m p brake pedal 4-5 times to deplete accumulator pressure. 11. Check and refill fluid reservoir if necessary. 12. Repeat Steps 9, 10 and 11. Install pu m p reservoir cap. 13. Remove vehicle from hoist. PARKING BRAKE PEDAL OR HANDLE Removal (Fig. 5-9) Reverse the removal procedure. Torque all bolts and nuts. A fter installing the clevis-pin, use a new cotter pin to secure the clevis pin. Adjust the cable if necessary as outlined below. C A U TIO N : See "C aution" on Page 1 o f this section. PARKING BRAKE ADJUSTMENT A djustment o f park in g brake cable is necessary w henever holding ability is not adequate or whenever the center brake cables have been disconnected. NOTE: The service brake must be properly adjusted as a base for parking brake adjustment; conversely the park in g brake must be properly adjusted for the service brake to function as intended. Inspection If complete release o f the parking brake is not obtained, unless it is forcibly returned to its released position, or if application effort is high, check parking brake assembly for free operation. If operation is sticky or a bind is experienced, correct as follows: 1. Clean and lubricate brake cables and equalizer with Delco Brake Lube (or equivalent). 2. Inspect brake assembly for straightness and alignment (replace if necessary). 3. Clean and lubricate parking brake assembly with Delco Brake Lube (or equivalent). 4. Checking routing o f cables for kinks or binding. A djustm ent-Foot Pedal Type NOTE: Before adjusting parking brake, check service brake condition and adjustment. 1. Raise vehicle on hoist. 2. Loosen the equalizer adjusting nut. 3. Apply p a rking brake 4 notches from fully released position. 4. Tighten the equalizer nut until a m oderate drag is felt when the rear wheels are rotated forward. 1. Place parking brake pedal or handle in the released position.

T he boot, piston seal, rubber bushings and sleeves are to be replaced each time the caliper is overhauled. Discard, do not bother to clean and inspect, these parts. 2. Clean all other parts in clean denatured alcohol or brake cleaner. Use dry, filtered compressed air to dry parts and blow out all passages in the caliper and bleeder valves. The use of lubricated shop air will leave a film of m ineral oil on the metal parts. This may dam age ru b b e r parts w hen they come in contact after reassembly. 3. Check the m ounting for corrosion, breaks in the plating or other dam age. Do not use abrasives in an attem pt to clean the pins -- replace them. 4. Carefully examine the piston outside diam eter for scoring, nicks, corrosion an d worn or dam aged chrom e plating. If any surface defects are detected, replace the piston. 5. Check the bore in the caliper for the same defects as the piston with the exception of plating dam age. T he piston bore is not plated and stains or m inor corrosion can be polished with crocus cloth. Do not use em ery cloth. Thoroughly clean the caliper after the use o f crocus cloth. If the bore cannot be cleaned up in this m anner, replace the caliper. Reassembly 1. Lubricate the bore in the caliper and the new piston seal with clean brake fluid. Position the seal in the caliper bore groove. Lubricate the piston with clean brake fluid and assemble a new boot into the groove in the piston so that the fold faces the open end o f the piston. Insert the piston into the caliper bore, using care not to unseat the seal and force down to the bottom in the bore. This will require a force o f 50 to 100 pounds. Position the outside d iam eter o f the boot in the caliper counterbore and seat with Tool J-22904 (fig. 5-37). 2. Check the boot installation to make sure that the retaining ring molded into the boot is not bent and that the boot is installed fully, below the caliper face, and evenly all around. Otherwise dirt or moisture may enter the bore and cause d am age or corrosion. Fig. 5-37-Seating Boot 3. Install the brake hose in the caliper inlet using a new copper gasket. Installation 1. Installation o f the caliper and m ounting parts (rubber bushing, sleeves, shoe and lining assemblies and pins) is the same as for lining replacement except for the following: a. The brake hose must be connected to the brake pipe at the fram e or frame bracket. Use extreme care to orient the hose so that the keyed hose end fitting aligns with the slot in the bracket without twisting or kinking the hose. b. A fter overhaul — or any time that the brake hose or line is disconnected — the calipers must be bled. Bendix Removal CAUTION: Clean dirt fro m hose to caliper connection before proceeding with removal. 1. Remove the hose to caliper bolt and cap or tape the open connections to prevent dirt from entering the hose or caliper. Discard the copper gaskets. 2. Remove the caliper assembly as described under "Shoe and Linings-Removal". Disassembly (Fig. 5-38) 1. Clean the exterior o f the caliper using clean brake fluid and place on a clean work surface. NOTE: An alternate method o f removing the piston is to stroke the brake pedal (gently) while the hydraulic lines are still connected. This will push the piston out o f the caliper bore. 4. Remove the boot from the piston bore. 5. Using a small piece o f wood or plastic, remove the square ring seal from the piston bore. CAUTION: Do not use a m etal tool o f any kind fo r this operation as it m ay dam age the bore. 6. Remove the bleeder valve from the caliper.

Installation N O T E: Installation o f the caliper and m ounting parts is the same for: "Shoe and Lining-Disc Brake" except for steps given below: 1. Lateral runout is the m ovem ent o f the rotor from side to side as it rotates on the steering knuckle spindle. This could be described as "rotor wobble". 2. The movem ent of the rotor from side to side in the lateral plane causes the brake shoe and lining and pistons to be knocked back into their bores. This results in additional pedal travel required and a vibration during the braking action. 3. To check lateral runout, first tighten the wheel bearings until all o f the play is out o f the bearings. Fasten a dial indicator to some portion of the suspension the so that the point o f the stylus contacts the rotor face approximately one inch from the rotor edge (fig. 5-42). Set the dial at zero. Move the rotor one complete rotation, checking the indicator as the rotor moves. 4. Lateral runout should not be over .004" total indicator reading. Parallelism Check 1. Parallelism is the m easurem ent o f the thickness of the rotor at four or more points around the circumference of the rotor. All m easurem ents must be made at the same distance in from the edge o f the rotor. 2. A rotor that varies over .0005" causes pedal vibration, as well as front end vibration during brake applications. A ro to r that does not m eet these specifications m ay be refinished precision equipm en t is available. to specifications if DRUM BRAKE SHOE AND LINING Rotor T olerance and Surface Finish Service Brake In m anu facturin g the brake rotor, tolerances o f the ru b b in g surfaces for flatness, for parallelism and for lateral runout are held very closely. The m aintenance o f these close controls on the shape o f the rubbing surfaces is necessary to prevent brake roughness. In addition to these tolerences. the surface finish must be held to a specified range. The control of the r u b b in g surface finish is necessary to avoid pulls and erratic perform ance and to extend lining life. Light scoring o f the rotor surfaces not exceeding .015" in depth, which may result from normal use, is not detrim ental to brake operation. Adjustment M achining Since accurate control o f the rotor tolerances is necessary for pro p e r perform ance of the disc brakes, m achining o f the rotor should be done only with precision equipment. WARNING: ALL BRAKE ROTORS HAVE A MINIMUM THICKNESS DIMENSION CAST INTO THEM. THIS DIMENSION IS THE MINIMUM WEAR DIMENSION AND NOT A REFINISH DIMENSION. DO NOT USE A BRAKE ROTOR THAT WILL NOT MEET THE SPECIFICATIONS, AS SHOWN BELOW, AFTER REFINISHING. REPLACE WITH NEW BRAKE ROTOR.

The wheel bolts on disc brakes can be pressed out fro m the outside o f the hub an d installed from inside the rotor by pressing into place. N o drilling or cutting is required. 4. Reinstall assembly and adjust wheel bearings. 1. Using a punch, knock out lanced area in brake drum. If this is done with the drum installed on the vehicle, the drum must be removed and all metal cleaned out of the brake com partm ent. Be sure to procure a new metal hole cover and install it in the d rum after adjustment to prevent dirt and w ater from getting into the brakes. Use J-6166 to turn brake adjusting screw; expand brake shoes at each wheel until the wheel can just be turned by hand. The drag should be equal at all wheels. 2. Back off' brake adjusting screw at each wheel 30 notches. If shoes still drag lightly on drum, back off adjusting screw one or two additional notches. Brakes should be free of drag when screw has been backed off approximately 12 notches. Heavy drag at this point indicates tight parking brake cables. 3. Install metal adjusting hole cover in brake drum. 4. Check parking brake adjustment. Removal and Inspecting WARNING: See " W a rn in g ” on Page 1 of this section. 1. Raise vehicle on hoist. Remove wheel and brake drum. It may be necessary to back off the brake shoe adjustment before the brake drums can be removed. To back off' shoe adjustment, rotate shoe adjusting screw downward. NOTE: On JB6, JB7 and JB8 equipped vehicles, it is necessary to remove the axle shafts to remove the hub and d ru m assembly; refer to Section 4B o f this manual. 2.

Check all backing plate attaching bolts to make sure they are tight. Using fine em ery cloth, clean all rust and dirt from shoe contact surfaces on plate. rivet extending through the shoe rim, but no farther. Keep hands clean while handling brake lining. 3. Start riveting at center o f shoe an d lining and work toward the ends. Use a roll set for riveting; a star set might split the tubular end and then the rivet would not fill the hole. The p rim ary lining is shorter than secondary lining; therefore, the rivet holes at each end of the shoe rim are not used. 4. A fter riveting is completed, lining must seat snugly against shoe with no more than .005" separation midway between rivets. Check with a .004" (go) and a .006" (No Go) feeler gage. Relining Brake Shoes 1. Lubricate fulcrum end o f parking brake lever with Delco Brake L ubricant or equivalent, then attach lever to secondary shoe. Make sure that lever is free moving. 2. Connect brake shoes together with adjusting screw spring, then place adjusting screw in position. W hen installing the adjusting screw spring an d adjusting screw, make sure the spring does not touch the starwheel portion o f the adjusting screw; and, also, w hen installing adjusting screw, make sure right hand thread adjusting screw is on left side of vehicle an d left hand thread adjusting screw is on right side o f vehicle. Make certain starwheel lines up with adjusting hole in backing plate. If old brake shoes are to be relined, inspect shoes for distortion and for looseness between the rim and web; these are the causes for discarding any shoe. If shoes are serviceable, be governed by the following points in installing new linings: 1. Remove old linings by drilling out rivets. Punching rivets out will distort shoe rim. Thoroughly clean surface o f shoe rim and file off any burrs or high spots. 2. Use G M brake lining (or equivalent) and the rivets included in lining package which are o f the correct size. The rivets must fit the holes with the solid body of Installation and Adjustment 8. M easure brake drum I.D. using inside caliper portion o f Tool J-2 1 177 (fig. 5-44).

BRAKE DRUMS Inspection and Reconditioning W A R N IN G : See " W a rn in g " on Page 1 of this section. W henever brake drums are removed, they should be thoroughly cleaned and inspected for cracks, scores, deep grooves and out-of-round. Cracked, Scored, or Grooved Drum A cracked d rum is unsafe for further service and must be replaced. D o not attempt to weld a cracked drum. Smooth up any slight scores. Heavy or extensive scoring will cause excessive brake lining wear, an d it will probably be necessary to rebore in order to true up the braking surface. If the brake linings are slightly worn and the drum is grooved, the d rum should be polished with fine emery cloth but should not be turned. At this stage, eliminating the grooves in drum would necessitate removal o f too much metal, while if left alone, the grooves and lining ridges match and satisfactory service can be obtained. If brake linings are to be replaced, a grooved drum should be turned for use w ith new linings. A grooved drum, if used with new lining, will not only w ear the lining, but will make it difficult, if not impossible to obtain efficient brake perform ance. Out-Of-Round or Tapered Drum An out-of-round drum makes accurate brake shoe adjustm ent impossible and is likely to cause excessive wear o f other parts of brake mechanism due to its eccentric action. An out-of-round drum can also cause severe and irregular tire tread w ear as well as pulsating brake pedal. W hen the braking surface o f a brake drum exceeds the factory specification limits in tap er (a n d /o r) being out-of-round, the dru m should be turned to true up the braking surface. Out-of-round as well as taper and w ear can be accurately measured with an inside m icrom eter fitted with proper extension rods. W hen measuring a d ru m for out-of-round, taper and wear, take m easurem ents at the open and closed edges o f m achined surface and at right angles to each other. Turning Brake Drums If a dru m is to be turned, only enough metal should be removed to obtain a true, smooth braking surface. If a dru m does not clean-up when turned to a maximum d iam eter as shown in the general specification, it must be replaced. Removal o f more metal will affect dissipation of heat and m ay cause distortion o f the drum. All brake drum s have a m aximum d iam eter cast into them. This diam eter is the m aximum wear diam eter and not a refinish diam eter. Do not refinish a brake drum that will not meet the specifications, as shown below, after refinishing.

Seven main bearings support the crankshaft which is retained by recessed bearing caps that are machined with the block for proper alignm ent and clearances. Cylinders are com­ pletely encircled by coolant jackets. CYLINDER HEAD The cast iron cylinder head provides a compression ratio o f 8.3:1. It is cast with individual intake and exhaust ports for each cylinder. Valve guides are integral and rocker arm s are retained on individual threaded studs pressed into head. Most 250 heads have integrated inlet manifold manifolds. while the 292 uses separate inlet CRANKSHAFT AND BEARINGS The crankshaft is cast nodular iron and is supported by seven main bearings. N u m b e r seven bearing is the end thrust bearing. M ain bearings are lubricated from oil holes which intersect the main oil gallery located on the right side o f the block. The cam bearings are also fed oil by intersecting holes with main oil gallery. The lifters are located in the main oil gallery. A d am p er assembly, on the forward end o f the crakshaft, dam pens any engine torsional vibrations. The outer ring o f the d a m p e r is grooved for the accessory drive belts. CAMSHAFT AND DRIVE The cast iron cam shaft is supported by four bearings and is gear driven. A cast iron crankshaft gear drives the alum inum cam sh aft gear. Cam lobes are ground, h a rd e n e d and tapered w ith the high side toward the rear. This, coupled with a spherical face on the lifters, causes the valve lifters to rotate. PISTONS AND CONNECTING RODS The pistons are m ade o f a cast alum inum alloy using two compression rings an d one oil control ring. Piston pins are offset .060" toward the thrust side (right h an d side) to provide a gradual change in thrust pressure against the cylinder wall as the piston travels its path. Pins are chrom ium steel an d have a floating fit in the pistons. They are retained in the connecting rods by a press fit. Connecting rods are m ade o f forged steel. Full pressure lubrication is directed to the connecting rods by drilled oil passages from the adjacent m ain bearing journal. Oil holes at the connecting rod journals are located so that oil is supplied to give maxiumu lubrication just p rio r to full bearing load. VALVE TRAIN A very simple ball pivot-type train is used. Motion is transm itted from the cam sh aft through the hydraulic lifters and push rods to the rocker arms. The rocker arm pivots on its ball and transmits the cam shaft motion to the valve. The rocker arm ball is retained by a self locking nut. HYDRAULIC VALVE LIFTERS H ydraulic Valve Lifters are used to keep all parts of the valve train in constant contact for quiet operation. The hydraulic lifter assembly consists of: the lifter body, which rides in the cylinder block boss, a plunger, a push rod seat, a m etering valve, a plunger spring, a check ball and spring, a check ball retainer and a push rod seat retainer. W h en the lifter is riding on the low point (base circle) o f the cam, the plunger spring keeps the plunger and push rod seat in contact with the push rod. W h e n the lifter body begins to ride up the cam lobe, the check ball cust off the transfer o f oil from the reservoir below the plunger. The plunger and lifter body then rise as a unit, pushing up the push rod and opening the valve. A very small am ount o f oil will leak out between the plunger and the body. As the lifter body rides down the other side o f the cam, the plunger follows with it until the valve closes. The lifter body continues to follow the cam to its low point, but the plunger spring keeps the plunger in contact with the push rod. The ball check valve will then move off its seat and the lifter reservoir will be refilled with oil. INTAKE MANIFOLD The intake manifold is o f cast iron, single level design for efficient fuel distribution. The 250 manifold is an integral unit with the head, except KIO and CIO with F44, while the 292 uses a separate component. The carburetor pad is centrally located with a passage running underneath the pad (E.F.E.), through which exhaust gases are forced, to prom ote faster fuel vaporization when the engine is cold. An E G R port is also cast into the manifold for the induction of a metered am ount o f exhaust gases into the air and fuel mixture which has entered through the carburetor. EXHAUST MANIFOLD A single four port, underslung, center take down manifold o f cast iron is used to direct exhaust gases from the combustion chambers. A heat shield is mounted to the m anifold that is used to route heated air to the air cleaner for better fuel vaporization. ENGINE SERVICE NOTE: The following inform ation is im portant in preventing engine d am age and in providing reliable engine performance. W hen raising or supporting the engine for any reason, do not use a jack under the oil pan, any sheet metal or crankshaft pulley. Due to the small clearance between the oil pan and the oil pu m p screen, jacking against the oil p an may cause it to be bent against the pu m p screen, resulting in a dam aged oil pickup unit. It should be kept in mind, while working on the engine, that the 12-volt electrical system is capable o f violent and d a m aging short circuits. W hen perform ing any work where electrical terminals could possibly be grounded, the ground cable o f the battery should be disconnected at the battery. Any time the carburetor or air cleaner is removed, the intake opening should be covered. This will protect against accidental entrance of foreign material which could follow the intake passage into the cylinder and cause extensive dam age w hen the engine is started. Engine Lubrication Full pressure lubrication, through a full flow oil filter is furnished by a gear-type oil pump. The distributor, driven by a helical gear on the camshaft, drives the oil pump. The m ain oil gallery feeds oil, through drilled passages, to the cam shaft and crankshaft to lubricate the bearings. The m ain oil gallery also feeds the valve lifters; which, through hollow push rods, feed the individually mounted rocker arms (Fig. 6A-3).

VALVE LIFTERS Hydraulic valve lifters very seldom require atten­ tion. The lifters are extremely simple in design. Readjustments are not necessary, and servicing o f the lifters requires only that care and cleanliness be exercised in the handling o f parts. Locating Noisy Lifters Fig. 6A-12--Valve A djustm ent J -5 8 9 2 L___ J -2 3 5 9 0 Fig. 6A-13-C om pressing Valve Spring 1. Rem ove rocker arm cover as previously outlined. 2. Remove spark plug, rocker arm and push rod on the cylinder(s) to be serviced. 3. Install air line ad ap ter Tool J-23590 to spark plug port and apply compressed air to hold the valves in place. 4. Using Tool J-5892 to compress the valve spring, remove the valve locks, valve cap, valve shield and valve spring and d a m p e r (fig. 6A-13). 5. Remove the valve stem oil seal. Locate a noisy valve lifter by using a piece of garden hose approxim ately four feet in length. Place one end o f the hose near the end o f each intake and exhaust valve with the other end o f the hose to the ear. In this m a n n e r the sound is localized, m aking it easy to determ ine which lifter is at fault. A nother method is to place a finger on the face of the valve spring retainer. If the lifter is not functioning properly, a distinct shock will be felt w hen the valve returns to its seat. T he general types o f valve lifter noise are as follows: 1. Hard R apping Noise - Usually caused by the plunger becoming tight in the bore o f the lifter body to such an extent t h a l j h e return spring can no longer push the plunger back up to working position. Probable causes are: a. Excessive varnish or c arbon deposit causing abnorm al stickiness. b. G alling or "pickup" between plunger and bore o f lifter body, usually caused by an abrasive piece of dirt or metal wedging between plunger and lifter body. 2. M oderate Rapping Noise - Probable causes are: a. Excessively high leakdown rate. b. Leaky check valve seat. c. Im proper adjustment. 3. G eneral Noise T hroughout the Valve T rain This will, in most cases, be caused by either insufficient oil supply or im pro per adjustment. 4. Intermittent Clicking Probable causes are: a. A microscopic piece o f dirt momentarily caught between ball seat and check valve ball. b. In rare cases, the ball itself m ay be out-of­ round or have a flat spot. c. Im proper adjustment. In most cases where noise exists in one or more lifters, all lifter units should be removed, disassembled, cleaned in a solvent, reassembled, and reinstalled in the engine. If dirt, varnish, carbon, etc., is shown to exist in one unit, it more than likely exists in all the units, thus it would only be a matter o f time before all lifters caused trouble. R e m o va l 1. Remove rocker arm cover and loosen rocker arm s sufficiently to remove the push rods. Place push rods in a rack so that they m ay be returned to their original location. 2.

Inspect the cylinder head for cracks in the exhaust ports, combustion cham bers, or external cracks to the w ater cham ber. 2. Inspect the valves for burned heads, cracked faces or d am aged stems. N O T E: Excessive valve stem to bore clearance will cause excessive oil consumption and may cause valve breakage. Insufficient clearance will result in noisy and sticky functioning of the valve and disturb engine smoothness. 3. Measure valve stem clearance (fig. 6A-21) as follows: Clam p a dial indicator on one side o f the cylinder head rocker arm cover gasket rail, locating the indicator so that movem ent o f the valve stem from side to side (crosswise to the head) will cause a direct movem ent of the indicator stem. The indicator stem must contact the side o f the valve stem just above the valve guide. With the valve head dropped about 1/16" off the valve seat; move the stem o f the valve from side to side using light pressure to obtain a clearance reading. 5. Inspect rocker arm studs for wear or damage. Assembly 1. Insert valves in the proper ports. 2. Set the valve spring shim, valve spring (with damper, if used) valve shield and valve cap or rotator in place (fig. 6A-23). 3. Compress the spring with Tool J-8062. 4.

Fig. 6A -27-R eam ing Valve Guide (Typical) VALVE G U ID E BORES Valves with oversize stems are available (see specifications). To ream the valve guide bores for oversize valves, use Tool Set J-5830 (fig. 6A-27). VALVE SEATS Reconditioning the valve seats is very important, because the seating o f the valves must be perfect for the engine to deliver the power and perform ance built into it. A nother im portant factor is the cooling o f the valve heads. G ood contact between each valve and its seat in the head is imperative to insure that the heat in the valve head will be properly carried away. Several different types of equipm ent are available for reseating valves seats. The recom m endations o f the m anufacturer of the equipm ent being used should be carefully followed to attain proper results. Regardless o f w hat type o f equipm ent is used, however, it is essential that valve guide bores be free from carbon or dirt to ensure proper centering of pilot in the guide. R e c o n d itio n in g 1. Install expanding pilot in the valve guide bore and expand pilot. 2. Place ro ughing stone or form ing stone over pilot and just clean up the valve seat. Use a stone cut to specifications. 3. Remove roughing stone or fo rm ing stone from pilot, place finishing stone, cut to specifications, over pilot an d cut just e nough m etal from the seat to provide a smooth finish. Refer to specifications. 4. N a rro w down the valve seat to the specified width. N O TE : This operation is done by grinding the port side with a 30 degree stone to lower seat and a 60 degree stone to raise seat. 5. Remove expanding pilot and clean cylinder head carefully to remove all chips and grindings from above operations. 6. M easure valve seat concentricity (fig. 6A-28). VALVES Valves that are pitted can be refaced to the proper angle, insuring correct relation between the head and stem on a valve refacing mechanism. Valve stems which show excessive wear, or valves that are w arped excessively should be replaced. W hen a valve head which is w arped excessively is refaced, a knife edge will be ground on p a rt or all of the valve head due to the a m o un t of metal that must be removed to completely reface. K nife edges lead to breakage, bu rning or p re ­ ignition due to heat localizing on this knife edge. If the edge o f the valve head is less than 1/32" thick after grinding, replace the valve. Several different types o f equipm ent are available for refacing valves. The recom m endations o f the m anu fa c tu rer o f the equ ip m ent being used should be carefully followed to attain p rop er results. grinding wheel to make sure it is smooth and true. Set check at angle specified for valve. Refer to specifications. 2. Clam p the valve stem in the chuck o f the machine. 3. Start the grinder and move the valve head in line with the grinder wheel. 4. Turn the feed screw until the valve head just contacts wheel. Move valve back and forth across the wheel and regulate the feed screw to provide light valve contact. 5. Continue grinding until the valve face is true and smooth all around the valve. If this makes the valve head thin (1 /3 2 " min.) the valve must be replaced as the valve will overheat and burn. 6. Remove valve from chuck and place stem in "V " block. Feed valve squarely against g rinding wheel to grind any pit from rocker arm end o f stem. N OTE: Only the extreme end o f the valve stem is hardened to resist wear. Do not grind end of stem excessively. 7. After cleaning valve face and cylinder head valve seat of grinding particles, make pencil marks about 1/4" apart across the valve face, place the valve in cylinder head and give the valve 1/2 turn in each direction while exerting firm pressure on head o f valve. 8. Remove valve and check face carefully. If all pencil marks have not been removed at the point of contact with the valve seat, it will be necessary to repeat the refacing operating and again recheck for proper seating. 9. G rin d and check the rem aining valves in the same manner. TO R S IO N A L DAM PER R em oval R e c o n d itio n in g 1. If necessary, dress the valve refacing machine 1.

(Tool J-971 m ay be used as support.) CAMSHAFT Measuring Lobe Lift N O T E: This procedure is similar to that used for checking valve timing. If im pro pe r valve operation is indicated, measure the lift of each push rod in consecutive order and record the readings. 1. Remove valve mechanism as outlined. 2. Position indicator with ball socket adapter (Tool J-8520) on push rod (fig. 6A-37). 3. Rotate the cranksahft slowly in the direction o f rotation until the lifter is on the heel o f the cam lobe. At this point, the push rod will be in its lowest position. 4. Set dial indicator on zero, then rotate the ca rn ksha ft slowly, or attach an auxiliary starter switch and " b u m p " the engine over, until the push rod is in the fully raised position. CAUTION: Whenever the engine is cranked remotely at the starter, with a special jum per cable or other means, the " BA T T ' positive lead m ust be disconnected fro m the coil. 5. C om pare the total lift recorded from the dial indicator with specifications. 6. Continue to rotate the crankshaft until the indicator reads zero. This will be a check on the accuracy o f the original indicator reading. 7. If cam shaft readings for all lobes are within specifications, remove dial indicator assembly. 8. Install and adjust valve mechanism as outlined. Removal 1. Remove engine, following procedure on page o f this section. 2. Remove lifters as previously outlined. 3.

Remove the cam shaft and g ear assembly by pulling it out through the front o f the block. 6A NOTE: Support cam shaft carefully when removing so as not to dam ag e the cam shaft bearings. Inspection The cam shaft bearing journals should be measured with a m icrometer for an out-of-round condition. If the journals exceed .001" out-of-round, the cam shaft should be replaced. The cam shaft should also be checked for alingment. The best method is by use of "V " blocks and a dial indicator (fig. 6A-39). The dial indicator will indicate the exact am ount the cam sh aft is out of true. If it is out more than .0015" dial indicator reading, the cam shaft should be replaced. Inspect the cam shaft gear and thrust plate for w ear or damage. M easure the cam shaft end play. This should be .001" to .005" (fig. 6A-40). Gear Replacement 1. If the inspection indicated that the camshaft, gear or thrust plate should be replaced, the gear must be T IM IN G MARKS TH R U S T PLATE SCREW S Fig. 6A-41 -Removing Cam shaft Gear removed from the camshaft. This operation requires the use o f cam shaft gear removed J-971. 2. Place the cam shaft through the gear remover, place end o f rem over on table o f a press and press shaft out o f gear (fig. 6A-41). C A U T IO N : Thrust plate m ust he positioned so that w oodruff key in shaft does not dam age it when the sh a ft is pressed out o f gear. Also support the huh o f the gear or the gear will be seriously damaged. 3. To assemble cam shaft gear thrust plate and gear spacer ring to cam shaft firmly support cam shaft at back o f front jo urna l in an a rb o r press. 4. Place g ear spacer ring and thrust plate over end o f shaft, and install woodruff key in shaft keyway. Install cam sh aft gear and press it onto the shaft until it bottoms against the gear spacer ring. The end clearance o f the thrust plate should be .001" to .005" (fig. 6A-40). In s ta lla tio n 1. Install the cam shaft and gear assembly in the engine block, being careful not to d am age cam shaft bearings or camshaft. 2. Turn crankshaft and cam shaft so that the valve timing marks on the gear teeth will line up (fig. 6A-38). Push cam shaft into position. Install cam shaft thrust plate-to-block bolts and torque to specifications. 3. Check cam shaft and crankshaft gear run out with a dial indicator (fig. 6A-42). The cam shaft gear run out should not exceed .004" and the crankshaft gear run out should not exceed .003". 4. If gear run out is excessive, the gear will have to be removed and any burrs cleaned from the shaft or the gear will have to be replaced. 5. Check the backlash between the timing gear teeth with a dial indicator (fig. 6A-43). The backlash should be not less than .004" nor more than .006". 6. Install fuel pump. 7.

With oil p a n and oil p u m p removed, remove the connecting rod cap and bearing. 2. Inspect the bearings for evidence o f wear or damage. (Bearings showing the above should not be installed.) 3. Wipe the bearings and crankpin clean o f oil. 4. Measure the crankpin for out-of-round or taper with a micrometer. If not within specifications replace or recondition the cranksahft. If within specifications and a new bearing is to be installed, measure the maximum diam eter of the crankpin to determine new bearing size required. 5. If within specifications measure new or used bearing clearances with Plastigage or its equivalent. NOTE: If a bearing is being fitted to an out-ofround crankpin, be sure to fit to the maximum diam eter o f the crankpin. If the bearing is fitted to Fig. 6A-50--Measuring Connecting Rod Side Clearance c. Install the bearing cap and evenly torque nuts to specifications. Fig. 6A-48-Gauging Plastic on Crankpin CAUTION: Do not turn the crankshaft with the gauging plastic installed. d. Remove the bearing cap and using the scale on the gauging plastic envelope, measure the gauging plastic width at the widest point (fig. 6A-49). 6. If the clearance exceeds specifications, select a new, correct size, bearing and remeasure the clearance. 7. Coat the bearing surface with oil, install the rod cap and torque nuts to specifications. 8. W hen all connecting rod bearings have been installed, tap each rod lightly (parallel to the crankpin) to make sure they have clearance. 9. Measure all connecting rod side clearances between the connecting rod cap and side o f crankpin (fig. 6A-50). C R A N K S H A FT M A IN BEARINGS Fig. 6A 49 Measuring Gauging Plastic the m inim um diam eter and the crankpin is out-of­ round .001" interference between the bearing and crankpin will result in rapid bearing failure. a. Place a piece o f gauging plastic the full width of the crankpin as contacted by the bearing (parallel to the crankshaft)(fig. 6A-48). b. Install the bearing in the connecting rod and cap. M ain bearings are of the precision insert type and do not utilize shim for adjustment. If clearances are found to be excessive, a new bearing, both upper and lower halves, will be required. Bearings are available in standard size and .001", .002", .009", .010" and .020" undersize. Selective fitting o f both rod and m ain bearing inserts is necessary in production in order to obtain close tolerances. For this reason you may find one half o f a standard insert with one half of a .001" undersize insert which will decrease the clearance .0005" from using a full standard bearing. W hen a production cranksahft cannot be prescision fitted by this method, it is then ground .009" undersize on main journals only. A .009" undersize bearing and .010" undersize bearing may be used for precision fitting in the same m a n n e r as previously described. Any engine fitted with a .009" undersize crankshaft will be identified by the following markings. • ".009" will be stamped on the crankshaft counterweight forward o f the center main journal. • A figure " 9 " will be stamped on the block at the left front oil pan rail. I N OTE: If, for any reason, main bearings caps are replaced, shim m ing may be necessary. Lam inated shims for each cap are available for service. Shim re q u ir e m e n t will be d e te rm in e d by bea rin g clearance. Inspection In general, the lower h a lf o f the bearing (except N o.l bearing) shows a greater w ear and the most distress from fatigue. If upon inspection the lower half is suitable for use, it can be assumed that the upper half is also satisfactory. If the lower h a lf shows evidence of w ear or dam age, both upper an d lower halves should be replaced. Never replace one h a lf without replacing the other half. Checking Clearance To obtain the most accurate results with "Plastigage", (or its equivalent) a wax-like plastic material which will compress evenly between the bearing and journ al surfaces w ithout da m a g in g either surface, certain precautions should be observed. If the engine is out o f the vehicle an d upside down, the crankshaft will rest on the u pp er bearings and the total clearance can be m easured between the lower b earing and journal. If the engine is to rem ain in the vehicle, the crankshaft should be supported both front and rear (dam per and flywheel) to remove the clearance from the upper bearing. The Fig. 6A-52--Measuring Gauging Plastic (Typcial) Fig. 6A-53 -Measuring Crankshaft End Play (Typical) total clearance can then be measured between the lower bearing and journal. N OTE: To assure the p rop er seating of the crankshaft all bearing cap bolts should be at their specified torque. In addition, p rep aratory to checking fit o f bearings, the surface o f the crankshaft jo urna l and bearing should be wiped clean o f oil. 1. With the oil pan an d oil pu m p removed, and staring with the rear m ain bearing, remove bearing cap and wipe oil from jo u rn al and bearing cap. 2. Place a piece of gauging plastic the full w idth of the bearing (parallel to the crankshaft) on the journal (fig. 6A-51). CAUTION: Do not rotate the crankshaft while the gauging plastic is between the bearing and journal. 3. Install the bearing cap and evenly torque the retaining bolts to specifications. 4. Remove bearing cap. The flattened gauging plastic will be found a dhering to either the bearing shell or journal. 5. On the edge of gauging plastic envelope there is a graduated scale which is correlated in thousandths of an inch. W ithout rem oving the gauging plastic, measure its compressed w idth (at the widest point) with the graduations on the gauging plastic envelope (fig. 6A-52). N O TE: Normally, m ain bearing journals wear evenly and are not out-of-round. However, if a bearing is being fitted to an out-of-round jou rnal (.001" max.), be sure to fit to the maximum d ia m e te r of the journal. If the b earing is fitted to the m inim um diam eter and the jou rn a l is out-of-round .001", interference between the bearing and journ al will result in rapid bearing failure. If the flattened gauging plastic tapers toward the middle or ends, there is a difference in clearance indicating taper, low spot or other irregularity o f the bearing or journal. Be sure to measure the jou rna l with a micrometer if the flattened gauging plastic indicates more than .001" difference. 6. If the b earing clearance is within specifications, the bearing insert is satisfactory. If the clearance is not within specifications, replace the insert. Always replace both upper and lower insert as a unit.

Five m ain bearings support the crankshaft which is retained by bearing caps that are machined with the block for proper alignment and clearnances. Cylinders are completely encircled by coolant jackets. CYLINDER HEAD The ratio o f exhaust integral, studs. cast iron cylinder heads provide a compression 8.5:1. They are cast with individual intake and ports for each cylinder. Valve guides are and rocker arms are retained on individual C R A N K S H A FT AND BEARINGS The crankshaft is cast nodular iron and is supported by five main bearings. N u m b e r five bearing is the end thrust bearing. M ain bearings are lubricated from oil holes which intersect the cam shaft bearings. The cam shaft bearings are fed oil by the m ain oil gallery which is rifle drilled down the center of the block, above the camshaft. Two additional oil gallerys are on either side o f the main oil gallery to provide an oil supply for the hydraulic lifters. A torsional d am p er on the forward end of the crankshaft d am pens any engine torsional vibrations. timing chain which in turn drives the cam shaft through a bakelite fabric composition gear with steel hub. Cam lobes are ground, hardened and tapered with the high side toward the rear. This, coupled with a spherical face on the lifter, causes the valve lifters to rotate. Cam shaft bearings are lubricated through oil holes which intersect the main oil gallery. The main oil gallery is rifle drilled down the center o f the block, above the camshaft. PISTONS AND C O N N E C T IN G RODS The pistons are m ade o f cast aluminum alloy using two compression rings and one oil control ring. Piston pins are offset 1/16" toward the thrust side (right hand side) to provide a gradual change in thrust pressure against the cylinder wall as the piston travels its path. Pins are Chromium steel and have a floating fit in the pistons They are retained in the connecting rods by a press fit. Connecting rods are made of forged steel. Full pressure lubrication is directed to the connecting rods by drilled oil passages from the adjacent main bearing journal. Oil holes at the connecting rod journals are located so that oil is supplied to give m aximum lubrication just prior to full bearing load. VALVE TRAIN C A M S H A F T AND DRIVE The cast iron cam shaft is supported by five bearings and is chain driven. A steel crankshaft gear drives the A very simple ball pivot-type train is used. Motion is transmitted from the cam shaft through the hydraulic lifter and push rod to the rocker arm. The rocker arm pivots on its ball and transmits the cam shaft motion to the valve. The rocker-arm ball is retained by a nut. HYDRA ULIC VALVE LIFTERS Hydraulic Valve Lifters are used to keep all parts o f the valve train in constant contact. The hydraulic lifter assembly consists of: the lifter body, which rides in the cylinder block boss, a plunger, a push rod seat, a m etering valve, a plunger spring, a check ball an d spring, a check ball retainer and a push rod seat retainer. W hen the lifter is rid in g on the low point o f the cam, the plunger spring keeps the plunger and push rod seat in contact with the push rod. W h e n the lifter body begins to ride up the cam lobe, the check ball cuts off the transfer o f oil from the reservoir below the plunger. The plunger an d lifter body then rise as a unit, pushing up the push rod and opening the valve. As the lifter body rides down the other side o f the cam, the plunger follows w ith it until the valve closes. The lifter body continues to follow the cam to its low point, but the plunger spring keeps the plunger in contact with the push rod. The ball check valve will then move off its seat an d the lifter reservoir will rem ain full. IN T A K E M A N IF O L D The intake m anifold is of cast iron double level design for efficient fuel distribution. The carburetor pad is centrally located with a passage running underneath the pad (E.F.E.) through which exhaust gases are forced to prom ote faster fuel vaporization when the engine is cold. An E G R port is also cast into the manifold for the mixture of exhaust gases with the fuel air mixture. E XHUAST M AN IFO LD S Two cast iron exhaust m anifolds are used to direct exhaust gases from the combustion chambers to the exhaust system. The right hand side m anifold receives a heat shield that is used to route heated air to the air cleaner for better fuel vaporization. C O M B U S T IO N CHAMBERS Combustion Cham bers are cast to insure uniform shape for all cylinders. Spark plugs are located between the intake and exhaust valves. The contoured wedge shape o f the combustion c h a m b e r m inim izes the possibility o f detonation, facilitates breathing and provides swirling turbulence for smooth, complete combustion. ENGINE LUBRICATION Full pressure lubrication through a full flow oil filter, is furnished by a gear-type oil pump. The distributor, driven by a helical gear on the camshaft, drives the oil pump. The m ain oil gallery feeds oil, through drilled passages, to the cam shaft and crankshaft to lubricate the bearings. The valve lifter oil gallery feeds the valve lifters which, through hollow push rods, feed the individually mounted rocker arms (fig. 6A-1V and 6A-2V). ON VEHICLE SERVICE E N G IN E M O U N T S Engine mounts (fig. 6A-3V - 6A-8V) are the nonadjustable type a n d seldom require service. Broken or deteriorated mounts should be replaced immediately, because o f the added strain placed on other mounts and drive line components. c. R ubber split through center Replace the mount. If there is relative movement between a metal plate o f the m ount and its attaching points, lower the engine on the mounts and tighten the screws or nuts attaching the m ount to the engine, frame, or bracket. Checking Engine Mounts Front M oun t Rear M ount Raise the engine to remove weight from the mounts and to place a slight tension in the rubber. Observe both mounts while raising engine.

The lifters are extremely simple in design, readjustm ents are not necessary, and servicing of the lifters requires only that care and cleanliness be exercised in the handling o f parts. Locating Noisy Lifters Locate a noisy valve lifter by using a piece o f garden hose approxim ately four feet in length. Place one end o f the hose near the end of each intake and exhaust valve with the other end o f the hose to the ear. In this m anner, the sound is localized making it easy to determ ine which lifter is at fault. A n othe r method is to place a finger on the face o f the valve spring retainer. If the lifter is not functioning properly, a distinct shock will be felt when the valve returns to its seat. The general types o f valve lifter noise are as follows: 1. Hard Rapping N o ise -U su a lly caused by the plunger becoming tight in the bore o f the lifter body to such an extent that the return spring can no longer push the plunger back up to working position. Probable causes are: a. Excessive varnish or carbon deposit causing a b n o rm al stickiness. b. G alling or "pick -u p" between plunger and bore o f lifter body, usually caused by an abrasive piece o f dirt or metal wedging between plunger and lifter body. 2. M oderate R apping N oise-Probable causes are: a. Excessively high leakdown rate. b. Leaky check valve seat. c. Im proper adjustment. 3. G eneral Noise T hro ugh ou t the Valve Train-This will, in most cases, be caused by either insufficient oil supply or im p rop er adjustment. 4. Interm ittent Clicking-Probable causes are: a. A microscopic piece o f dirt m om entarily caught between ball seat an d check valve ball. b. In rare cases, the ball itself m ay be out-ofround or have a flat spot. c. Im pro per adjustment. In most cases where noise exists in one or more lifters all lifter units should be removed, disassembled, cleaned in a solvent, reassembled, and reinstalled in the engine. If dirt, corrosion, carbon, etc. is shown to exist in one unit, it more likely exists in all the units, thus it would only be a matter o f time before all lifters caused trouble. Removal 1. Remove intake manifold as previously outlined. 2. Remove valve m echan ism as previously outlined. 3. Remove valve lifters. NOTE: Place valve lifters in a rack so that they may be reinstalled in the same location. Installation 1. Install valve lifters.

Cleaning and Inspection T horoughly clean all parts in cleaning solvent, and inspect them carefully. If any parts are dam aged or worn, the entire lifter assembly should be replaced. If the lifter body wall is scuffed or worn, inspect the cylinder block lifter bore. If the bottom o f the lifter is scuffed or worn, inspect the cam shaft lobe. If the push rod seat is scuffed or worn, inspect the push rod. An additive containing EP lube, such as EOS, or equivalent, should always be added to crankcase oil for run-in when any new camshaft or lifters are installed. All damaged or worn lifters should be replaced. Assembly 1. Place the check ball on small hole in bottom of the plunger. 2. Insert check ball spring on seat in ball retainer and place retainer over ball so that spring rests on the ball. Carefully press the retainer into position in plunger with the blade o f a small screw driver (fig. 6A-19V). 3. Place the plunger spring over the ball retainer and slide the lifter body over the spring and plunger, being careful to line up the oil feed holes in the lifter body and plunger. 4. Fill the assembly with SAE 10 oil, then insert the en d o f a 1 /8 " drift pin into the plunger and press down solid. A t this point, oil holes in the lifter body and plunger assembly will be aligned (fig. 6A-20V). CAUTION: Do not attem pt to fo rce or pum p the plunger. 5.

VALVE SEATS Fig. 6A 33V--Removing Rocker Arm Stud (Small V8) OVERSIZE Reconditioning the valve seats is very im portant, because the seating o f the valves must be perfect for the engine to deliver the power and perform ance built into it. A nother im portant factor is the cooling of the valve heads. Good contact between each valve and its seat in the head is imperative to insure that the heat in the valve head will be properly carried away. Several different types o f equipm ent are available for reseating valves seats. The recom m endations of the m anufacturer o f the equipm ent being used should be carefully followed to attain proper results. Regardless of w hat type o f equipm ent is used, however, it is essential that valve guide bores be free from carbon or dirt to ensure proper centering o f pilot in the guide. Reconditioning 1. Install expanding pilot in the valve guide bore and expand pilot. 2. Place roughing stone or form ing stone over pilot an d just clean up the valve seat. Use a stone cut to specifications. 3. Remove roughing stone or form ing stone from pilot, place finishing stone, cut to specifications, over pilot and cut just enough metal from the seat to provide a smooth finish. Refer to specifications. 4. Narrow down the valve seat to the specified width. NO TE: This operation is done by grinding the port side with a 30 degree stone to lower seat and a 60 degree stone to raise seat. 5. Remove e x panding pilot and clean cylinder head carefully to remove all chips and grindings from above operations. 6. M easure valve seat concentricity (fig. 6A-36V). N OTE: Valve seats should be concentric to within .002" total indicator reading. VALVES Valves that are pitted can be refaced to the proper angle, insuring correct relation between the head and stem on a valve refacing mechanism. Valve stems which show excessive wear, or valves that are w arped excessively should be replaced. W hen a valve head which is warped excessively is refaced, a knife edge will be ground on p art or all o f the valve head due to the am o u n t o f metal that must be removed to completely reface. K nife edges lead to breakage, b urning or p re ­ ignition due to heat localizing on this knife edge. If the edge o f the valve head is less than 1/32" thick after grinding, replace the valve. Several different types o f e quipm ent are available for refacing valves. The recom m endation o f the m a n u fa ctu rer of the e quipm ent being used should be carefully followed to attain proper results. wheel and regulate the feed screw to provide light valve contact. 5. Continue grinding until the valve face is true and smooth all around the valve. If this makes the valve head thin ( 1 /3 2 " min.) the valve must be replaced as the valve will overheat and burn. 6. Remove valve from chuck and place stem in "V " block. Feed valve squarely against grinding wheel to grind any pit from rocker arm end o f stem. N OTE: Only the extreme end o f the valve stem is h ardened to resist wear. Do not grind end o f stem excessively. 7. A fter cleaning valve face and cylinder head valve seat o f grinding particles, make pencil marks about 1/4" apart across the valve face, place the valve in cylinder head and give the valve 1/2 turn in each direction while exerting firm pressure on head of valve. 8. Remove valve and check face carefully. If all pencil marks have not been removed at the point of contact with the valve seat, it will be necessary to repeat the refacing operation and again recheck for proper seating. 9.

DO N O T FILE RO D S OR R O D CAPS. If clearances are found to be excessive a new bearing will be required. Bearings are available in stan dard size an d .001" and .002" undersize for use with new and used sta n d a rd size crankshafts, and in .010" and .020" undersize for use with reconditioned crankshafts. Inspection and Replacement 1. W ith oil pan and oil pu m p removed, remove the connecting rod cap and bearing. 2. Inspect the bearing for evidence of w ear or dam age. (Bearings showing the above should not be installed.) 3. W ipe the bearings and crankpin clean o f oil. 4. M easure the crankpin for out-of-round or taper with a micrometer. If not w ithin specifications replace or recondition the crankshaft. If within specifications and a new bearing is to be installed, measure the m aximum diam eter o f the c rankpin to determine new bearing size required. 5. If within specifications measure new or used bearing clearances with Plastigage or its equivalent. N O T E: If a bearing is being fitted to an out-of­ round crankpin, be sure to fit to the m aximum d iam eter o f the crankpin. If the bearing is fitted to the m inim um diam eter and the crankpin is out-ofround .001" interference between the bearing and crankpin will result in rapid bearing failure. a. Place a piece o f gauging plastic the full width of the crankpin as contacted by the bearing (parallel to the crankshaft) (fig. 6A-56V). b. Install the bearing in the connecting rod and cap. c. Install the bearing cap and evenly torque nuts to specifications. CAUTION: Do not turn the crankshaft with the gauging plastic installed. d. Remove the bearing cap and using the scale on the gauging plastic envelope, measure the gauging plastic width at the widest point (fig.6A-57V). 6. If the clearance exceeds specifications, select a new, correct size, bearing and rem easure the clearance. 7. Coat the bearing surface with oil, install the rod cap and torque nuts to specifications. 8. W hen all connecting rod bearings have been installed tap each rod lightly (parallel to the crankpin) to make sure they have clearance. 9. Measure all connecting rod side clearances (see specifications) between connecting rod caps (fig. 6A-58V). M A IN BEARINGS M ain bearings are o f the precision insert type and do not utilize shims for adjustment. If clearances are found to be excessive, a new bearing, both upper and lower halves, will be required. Bearings are available in standard size and .001", .002", .009", .010" and .020" undersize. Selective fitting o f both rod and m ain bearing To obtain the most accurate results with "Plastigage", (or its equivalent) a wax-like plastic material which will compress evenly between the bearing and journ al surfaces without dam aging either surface, certain precautions should be observed. If the engine is out o f the vehicle and upside down, the crankshaft will rest on the upper bearings and the total clearance can be measured between the lower bearing and journal. If the engine is to rem ain in the vehicle, the crankshaft should be supported both front and rear (dam per and flywheel) to remove the clearance from the upper bearing. The total clearance can then be measured between the lower bearing and journal. Fig. 6A-58V--M easuring Connecting Rod Side Clearance inserts is necessary in production in order to obtain close tolerances. F o r this reason you m ay find one half o f a stan dard insert with one h alf of a .001" undersize insert which will decrease the clearance .0005" from using a full stand ard bearing. W h e n a production crank shaft cannot be precision fitted by this method, it is then ground .009" undersize on main journals only. A .0 0 9 " undersize bearing and .0 1 0 " undersize bearing may be used for precision fitting in th e sam e m an ner as previously described. Any en g in e fitted with a .0 0 9 " undersize c ra n ksha ft will be identified by th e following markings. • ".009" will be stam ped on the crankshaft counterweight forward o f the center main journal. • A figure "9 " will be stamped on the block at the left front oil pan rail. N O TE: If, for any replaced, shim m ing shims for each cap r e q u ire m e n t will clearance. reason, m ain bearing caps are m ay be necessary. Lam inated are available for service. Shim be d e te rm in e d by be a rin g Inspection In general, the lower h a lf of the bearing (except No. 1 bearing) shows a greater w ear and the most distress from fatigue. If upon inspection the lower half is suitable for use, it can be assumed that the upper half is also satisfactory. If the lower h a lf shows evidence o f w ear or dam age, both upper and lower halves should be replaced. N ever replace one half without replacing the other half. Checking Clearance NOTE: To assure the proper seating o f the crankshaft, all bearing cap bolts should be at their specified torque. In addition, p rep aratory to checking fit o f bearings, the surface of the crankshaft jo u rn a l and bearing should be wiped clean o f oil. 1. With the oil pan and oil pu m p removed, and starting with the rear m ain bearing, remove bearing cap and wipe oil from jou rn a l and bearing cap. 2. Place a piece o f gauging plastic the full width of the bearing (parallel to the crankshaft) on the journal (fig. 6A-59V). CAUTION: Do not rotate the crankshaft while the gauging plastic is between the bearing and journal. 3. Install the bearing cap and evenly torque the retaining bolts to specifications. 4. Remove bearing cap. The flattened gauging plastic will be found adhering to either the bearing shell or journal. Fig. 6A -60V -M easuring Gauging Plastic Fig. 6A-61V Measuring C rankshaft End Play 5. O n the edge of gauging plastic envelope there is a graduated scale which is correlated in thousandths o f an inch. W ithout removing the gauging plastic, measure its compressed width (at the widest point) with the graduations on the gauging plastic envelope (fig. 6A60V). have been checked rotate the crankshaft to see that there is no excessive drag. 9. Measure crankshaft end play (see specifications) by forcing the crankshaft to the extreme front position. Measure at the front end o f the re a r main bearing with a feeler gauge (fig. 6A-61V). 10. Install a new rear main bearing oil seal in the cylinder block and main bearing cap. N O T E: Norm ally main bearing journals wear evenly and are not out-of-round. However, if a b earing is being fitted to an out-of-round (.001" max.), be sure to fit to the m aximum diam eter of the journal: If the bearing is fitted to the minim um d iam eter and the jou rnal is out-of-round .001", interference between the bearing and journal will result in rapid bearing failure. If the flattened gauging plastic tapers toward the middle or ends, there is a difference in clearance indicating taper, low spot or other irregularity o f the bearing or journal. Be sure to measure the jou rnal with a m ic ro m e te r if the flattened g a u g in g plastic indicates more than .001" difference. 6. If the b earing clearance is within specifications, the bearing insert is satisfactory. If the clearance is not w ithin specifications, replace the insert. Always replace both upper and lower inserts as a unit. N O T E : If a new bearing cap is being installed and clearance is less than .001", inspect for burrs or nicks; if none are found then install shims as required. 7. A standard, .001" or .002" undersize bearing m ay produce the proper clearance. If not, it will be necessary to regrind the crankshaft jou rnal for use with the next undersize bearing. 8. Proceed to the next bearing. A fter all bearings Replacement NOTE: Main bearings may be replaced with or without removing the crankshaft. W ith Crankshaft Removal 1. Remove and inspect the crankshaft. 2. Remove the main bearings from the cylinder block and main bearing caps. 3.

Install main bearing cap with arrows pointing toward front o f engine. 7. Torque m ain bearing cap bolts to specifications. OIL SEAL (REAR M A IN ) Replacement N OTE: Always replace the upper and lower seal as a unit. Install seal w ith lip facing front o f engine. T he re a r m ain bearing oil seal can be replaced (both halves) without removal o f the crankshaft. Extreme care should be exercised when installing this seal to protect the sealing bead located in the channel on the outside d iam eter o f the seal. An installation tool (fig. 6A-62V) can be used to protect the seal bead when positioning seal as follows: 1. With the oil pan and oil pu m p removed, remove the re a r main bearing cap. 2. Remove oil seal from the bearing cap by prying from the bottom with a small screw driver (fig. 6A-63V). 3. To remove the upper half o f the seal, use a Fig. 6A-64V~Removing Oil Seal • Upper H alf small ha m m e r to tap a brass pin punch on one end of seal until it protrudes far enough to be removed with pliers (fig. 6A-64V). 4.

The oil control rings are o f three piece type, consisting of two segments (rails) and a spacer. 1. Select rings com parable in size to the piston being used. 2. Slip the compression ring in the cylinder bore; then press the ring down into the cylinder bore about 1/4 inch (above ring travel). Be sure ring is square with cylinder wall. 3. Measure the space or gap between the ends of the ring with a feeler gauge (fig. 6A-72V). 4. If the gap between the ends of the ring is below specifications, remove the ring and try another for fit. 5. Fit each compression ring to the cylinder in which it is going to be used. 6. If the pistons have not been cleaned and inspected as previously outlined, do so. 7. Slip the outer surface o f the top and second compression ring into the respective piston ring groove and roll the ring entirely around the groove (fig. 6A-73V) to make sure that the ring is free. If binding occurs at any point the cause should be determined, and if caused by ring groove, remove by dressing with a fine cut file. If the binding is caused by a distorted ring, check a new ring. 8. Install piston rings as follows (fig. 6A-74V).

If binding is caused by a distorted ring, check a new ring. e. Install second compression ring expander then ring with gaps properly located. f. Install top compression ring with gap properly located. 9. Proper clearance o f the piston ring in its piston ring groove is very im portant to provide proper ring action and reduce wear. Therefore, w hen fitting new rings, the clearances between the surfaces o f the ring and groove should be m easured (fig. 6A-75V). (See Specifications). Installation Fig. 6A-73V--Checking Ring in Groove NOTE: Cylinder bores must be clean before piston installation. This may be accomplished with a hot w ater and detergent wash or with a light honing as necessary. A fter cleaning, the bores should be swabbed several times with light engine oil and a clean dry cloth. 1. Lubricate connecting rod bearings and install in rods and rod caps. 2. Lightly coat pistons, rings and cylinder walls with light engine oil. 3. With bearing caps removed, install Tool J-5239 (3 /8 ") or J-6305 (11 /32") on connecting rod bolts.

The cooling system is sealed by a pressure type radiator filler cap. T he pressure type ra d ia to r filler cap (fig. 6B-1) is designed to operate the cooling system at higher than atmospheric pressure. The h igher pressure raises the boiling point o f the coolant which increases the efficiency o f the radiator. The rad iator filler cap contains a pressure relief valve and a vacuum relief valve. The pressure relief valve is held against its seat by a spring, which when compressed, allows excessive pressure to be relieved out the ra d ia to r overflow. T he vacuum valve is also held against its seat by a spring which when compressed, opens the valve relieving the vacuum created when the system cools. T he cooling systems w a te r p u m p is o f the centrifugal vane impeller type (figs. 6B-2 and 6B-3). The bearings are p erm anently lubricated during m anufacture and are sealed to prevent the loss o f lubricant or the entry o f dirt and water. The pum p requires no care other than to make certain the air vent at the top o f the housing and the d rain holes in the bottom do not become plugged with dirt or grease. I W ater pum p components are not serviced sepa­ rately; therefore, in the event o f water pum p failure, it will be necessary to replace the complete assembly removal and installation procedures are covered in this section. Fig. 6B-3-Water Pump—Typical V8 DIAGNOSIS If the cooling system requires frequent addition of coolant in ord er to m ain tain the proper level, check all units and connections in the cooling system for evidence o f leakage. Inspection should be m ade with cooling system cold. Small leaks which m ay show dam pness or dripping can easily escape detection when the engine is hot, due to the rapid evaporation o f coolant. Tell-tale stains o f grayish white or rusty color, or dye stains from anti-freeze, at joints in cooling system are almost always sure signs o f small leaks even though there appears to be no dam age. A ir m ay be draw n into the cooling system through leakage at the water pum p seal or through leaks in the coolant recovery system. G as may be forced into the cooling system through leakage at the cylinder head gasket even though the leakage is not sufficient to allow w ater to enter the combustion chamber. pressure surge should be felt. Check for a plugged vent­ hole in pump. Test for restriction in the radiator, by w arm ing the engine up and then turning the engine off and feeling the radiator. The radiator should be hot along the left side and w arm along the right side, with an even temperature rise from right to left. Cold spots in the radiator indicate clogged sections. An operational check o f the thermostat can be made by hanging therm ostat on a hook in a 33% glycol solution 25° above the tem perature stamped on the thermostat valve. Submerge the valve completely and agitate the solution thoroughly. U n d e r this condition the valve should open. Remove the thermostat and place in a 33% glycol solution 10° below tem perature indicated on the valve. W ith valve completely subm erged and water agitated thoroughly, the valve should close completely. Coolant Loss COOLING SYSTEM CHECKS To check for exhaust leaks into the cooling system, drain the system until the coolant level stands just above the top o f the cylinder head, then disconnect the radiator upper hose an d remove the therm ostat and fan belt. Start the engine and quickly accelerate several times. At the same time note any appreciable water rise or the ap pearance o f bubbles which are indicative o f exhaust gases leaking into the cooling system. W ater pu m p operation may be checked by running the engine while squeezing the radiator upper hose. A 1. Check for crack in block. Pull engine oil d ip ­ stick to check for w ater in crankcase. 2. Remove rocker arm covers and check for cracked cylinder head. 3. Remove cylinder heads and check gaskets. W hile heads are off, check for cracks in heads or block. Overheating 1. Check to see that the radiato r cap seats in ra d ia to r filler neck and releases at specified pressure (15 lbs.). 2. Check coolant level. 3. Check tem perature sending unit a n d / o r gauge. 4. Check engine thermostat. 5. Check fan belt for excessive looseness. 6. Check for punctures in radiator, ruptured or disconnected hoses, loose pressure cap or use o f low boiling point antifreeze. These conditions prevent cooling system from m aintaining proper pressure. 7. Clean debris from rad ia to r a n d / o r condenser. 8. Check engine operation to make sure tune-up is not needed. Im p ro per tim ing m ay cause overheating. 9. Check for driving conditions which may cause overheating. Prolonged idling, start and stop driving in long lines o f traffic on hot days, climbing steep grades on hot days, etc. will occasionally cause coolant to boil. 10. Clean cooling system. 11. Remove cylinder heads and check water passages in heads and block for obstructions. FAN CLUTCH 1. NOISE F a n noise is sometimes evident under the following norm al conditions: a. when clutch is engaged for m axim um cooling, and b. du ring first few minutes after start-up until the clutch can re-distribute the silicone fluid back to its norm al disengaged operating condition after overnight settling. However, fa n noise or an excessive roar will generally occur continuously u n de r all high engine speed conditions (2500 r.p.m. and up) if the clutch assembly is locked up due to an internal failure. If the fan cannot be rotated by h and or there is a rough grating feel as the fan is turned, the clutch should be replaced. 2. LOOSENESS U n d e r various tem perature conditions, there is a visible lateral movem ent that can be observed at the tip o f the fan blade. This is a no rm al condition due to the type o f bearing used. A pproxim ately 1/4" m axim um lateral movem ent measured at the fan tip is allowable. This is not cause for replacement. 3. SILICONE FLUID LEAK T he operation o f the unit is generally not affected by small fluid leaks which m ay occur in the area around the bearing assembly. However, if the degree o f leakage appears excessive, proceed to item 4. B. If the fan and clutch assembly free-wheels with no drag (revolves over 5 times when spun by hand), the clutch should be replaced. If clutch perform s properly with a slight drag go to step C. N OTE: Testing a fan clutch by holding the small hub with one hand and rotating the aluminum housing in a clockwise/counterclockwise motion will cause the clutch to free-wheel, which is a normal condition when operated in this manner. This should not be considered a test by which replacement is determined. C. Use dial type thermometer, J6742-01, or similar type. NOTE: J6742-01 reads to 180 degrees F, therefore, allow approxim ately 3 /1 6 " pointer movem ent for each 10 degrees over 180 degrees. CAUTION: Check fo r adequate clearance between fa n blades and thermometer sensor before starting engine. Position therm om eter so that the therm om eter sensor is centered in the space between the fan blades and radiator. This can be achieved by inserting the sensor through one o f the existing holes in the fan shroud or fan guard, or by placing between the radiator and the shroud. On some models, it may be necessary to drill a 3 /1 6 " hole in the fan shroud to insert J6742-01. D. Cover ra d ia to r grille sufficiently to induce a high engine temperature. Start engine and turn on air conditioning if equipped. M aintain a position in front of the vehicle to observe the therm om eter reading. With a rod, broom handle, or etc., push on the accelerator linkage to m ain tain approximately 3000 r.p.m. Use tachometer if available. E. Observe therm om eter reading w hen clutch engages. It will take approximately 5 to 10 minutes for the temperature to become high enough to allow engagement o f the fan clutch. This will be indicated by an increase or roar in fan air noise and by a drop in the therm om eter reading o f approximately 5-15 degrees F. If the clutch did not engage by the temperature specified below, the unit should be replaced. 165c All vehicles except as listed below. 170c Corvette without A /C . 190c Corvette with A /C . NOTE: Be sure fan clutch was disengaged beginning o f test. at CAUTION: Do not continue test past a thermometer reading as specified to prevent engine overheating. If no sharp increase in fan noise or tem perature drop was observed and the fan noise level was constantly high from start o f test to 165 degrees F, the unit should be replaced. F. As soon as the clutch engages, remove the 4. ENGINE OVERHEATING radiator grille cover and turn off the air conditioning to A. Start with a cool engine to ensure complete fan assist in engine cooling. The engine should be run at clutch disengagem ent. Refer to Item b, p a ra g ra p h 1. approximately 1500 r.p.m. G. A fter several minutes the fan clutch should disengage, as indicated by a reduction in fa n speed and roar. MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENTS C O O LA N T LEVEL N O T E: With the coolant recovery system, the coolant level is checked by observing the liquid level in the reservoir. T he radiator cap need not be removed. The coolant level should be at the "Cold Full" m ark w hen cooling system cools and coolant is at am b ien t tem perature. A fter the vehicle has been driven sufficiently to obtain norm al operating temperatures, the level should be at the "H o t Full" mark. T he ra d ia to r coolant level should only be checked w hen the engine is cool, particularly on cars equipped with air conditioning. If the rad iator cap is removed from a hot cooling system, serious personal injury may result. Coolant level in crossflow radiators without the coolant recovery system should be m aintained three inches below the bottom o f the filler neck w hen the system is cold. W h en a surge radiator supply tank is used the coolant level should be m aintained at the one-half full level in the supply tank. It is very im portant that the correct fluid level be m aintained. The sealing ability of the ra d ia to r cap is affected w hen the cooling level is too high. All passenger car cooling systems are pressurized with a 15 pound pressure cap which permits safe engine operation at coolant tem peratures o f up to 258 °F. W h e n the radiator cap is removed or loosened, the system pressure drops to atmospheric, an d the heat which had caused w ater tem perature to be higher than 212°F, will be dissipated by conversion o f w ater to steam. Inasmuch as the steam may form in the engine w ater passages, it will blow coolant out o f the radiator u p p e r hose and tan k top, necessitating coolant replacement. Engine operating tem peratures higher than the norm al boiling point o f water are in no way objectionable so long as the coolant level is satisfactory when the engine is cool. Upon repeated coolant loss, the pressure radiator cap an d seat should be checked for sealing ability. Also, the cooling system should be checked for loose hose connections, defective hoses, gasket leaks, etc. Cooling System Checks 1. Test for restriction in the radiator, by w arm ing the engine up an d then turning the engine off and feeling the radiator. The rad ia to r should be hot along the left side and w arm along the right side, with an even tem perature rise from right to left. Cold spots in the ra d iato r indicate clogged sections. 2. W a te r pu m p operation may be checked by ru n n in g the engine while squeezing the radiator upper hose. A pressure surge should be felt. Check for a plugged vent-hole in pump. NOTE: A defective head gasket may allow exhaust gases to leak into the cooling system. This is particularly dam ag in g to the cooling system as the gases combine with the w ater to form acids which are harm ful to the radiator and engine. WARNING: If you siphon coolant from the radiator, do not use mouth to start siphoning action. The coolant solution is POISONOUS and can cause death or serious illness if swallowed. 3. To check for exhaust leaks into the cooling system, drain coolant from the system until the coolant level stands just above the top o f the cylinder head, then disconnect the radiator upper hose and remove the thermostat and fan belt. Start the engine and quickly accelerate several times. At the same time note any appreciable water rise or the appearance o f bubbles which are indicative o f exhaust gases leaking into the cooling system. Periodic Maintenance It is the ow ner’s responsibility to keep the freeze protection at a level commensurate with the area in which the vehicle will be operated. Regardless o f w hether freezing tem peratures are or are not expected, cooling system protection should be m aintained at least to -20 °F to provide adequate corrosion protection and proper tem perature indicating light operation. With glycol co ntent less th an re q u ire m e n t for -20 °F protection, coolant boiling point is less than the temperature indicating light setting. W h en adding solution due to loss o f coolant for any reason or in areas where temperatures lower than -20 °F m ay occur, a sufficient am ount o f an ethylene glycol base coolant that meets G M Specification 1899-M should be used. Every two years the cooling system should be serviced by flushing with plain water, then completely refilled with a fresh solution o f water and a high-quality, inhibited (permanent-type) glycol base coolant meeting G M Specification 1899-M and providing freezing protection at least to -20 °F At this time, also add G M Cooling System Inhibitor and Sealer or equivalent. In addition, such an inhibitor and sealer should be added every fall thereafter. NOTE: Alcohol or methanol base coolants or plain w ater are not recom m ended for your engine at any time. Two com m on causes o f corrosion are: (1) air suction—Air may be drawn into the system due to low liquid level in the radiator, leaky water pum p or loose hose connections, defective pressure cap or leaky overflow hose connection to radiator on recovery bottle; (2) exhaust gas leakage—Exhaust gas may be blown into the cooling system past the cylinder head gasket or through cracks in the cylinder head and block. Cleaning A good cleaning solution should be used to loosen the rust and scale before reverse flushing the cooling system. There are a num ber o f cleaning solutions available and the m a n u fa c tu re r’s instructions with the p articular cleaner being used should always be followed. An excellent pre pa ra tion to use for this purpose is G M Cooling System Cleaner or its equivalent. The following directions for cleaning the system applies only when this type cleaner is used. W ARNING: If you siphon coolant from the radiator, do not use mouth to start siphoning action. The coolant solution is POISONOUS and can cause death or serious illness if swallowed. 1. D rain coolant from the cooling system, includ­ ing the cylinder block. N O TE : The V8 cylinder block drain plugs are located on both sides o f the block about halfway back and on the lower edge near the oil pan rail. T he 6-cylinder block drain is located on the left side o f the engine at about centerline of the block a n d adjacent to the flywheel housing. 2. Remove thermostat and replace thermostat housing. 3. Add the liquid portion (No. 1) o f the cooling system cleaner. 4. Fill the cooling system with w ater to a level of about 3 inches below the top o f the overflow pipe. 5. Cover the rad iato r and run the engine at m oderate speed until engine coolant tem perature reaches 180 degrees. 6. Remove cover from radiator and continue to run the engine for 20 minutes. Avoid boiling. 7. W hile the engine is still running, add the powder portion (No. 2) of the cooling system cleaner and continue to run the engine for 10 minutes. W ARNING: hands. Be careful not to scald your 8. At the end o f this time, stop the engine, wait a few minutes and then open the dra in cocks. NOTE: Dirt and bugs may be cleaned out o f the radiator air passages by blowing out with air pressure from the back of the core. Do not bend radiator fins. Reverse Flushing Reverse flushing should always be accomplished after the system is thoroughly cleaned as outlined above. Flushing is accomplished through the system in a direction opposite to the normal flow. This action causes the water to get behind the corrosion deposits and force them out. Radiator 1. Remove the rad iator upper and lower hoses and replace the radiato r cap. 2. Attach a lead-away hose at the top of the radiator. 3. Attach a new piece o f hose to the radiator outlet connection and insert the flushing gun in this hose. 4. Connect the w ater hose o f the flushing gun to a water outlet and the air hose to an air line. CAUTION: Apply air gradually as a clogged radiator will sta n d only 20 p.s.i. pressure. 5. Turn on the w ater and when the radiato r is full, turn on the air in short blasts, allowing the radiator to fill between blasts o f air. 6. Continue this flushing until the water from the lead-away hose runs clear. Cylinder Block and Cylinder Head 1. With the thermostat removed, attach a leadaway hose to the water pum p inlet and a length o f new hose to the water outlet connection at the top of the engine. NOTE: Disconnect the heater hose and cap connections at engine when reverse flushing engine. 2. Insert the flushing gun in the new hose. 3. T u rn on the w ater and when the engine water jacket is full, turn on the air in short blasts. 4. C ontinue this flushing until the w ater from the lead-away hose runs clear. H eater Core 1. Remove w ater outlet hose from heater core pipe. 2. Remove inlet hose from engine connection. 3. Insert flushing gun and flush heater core. Care must be taken when applying air pressure to prevent dam ag e to the core. Fan Belt Adjustment 1. Loosen bolts at Delcotron mounting. 2. Pull Delcotron away from engine until desired tension reading is obtained with a strand tension gauge. Refer to Engine T u n e -U p Specifications. 3. Tighten all Delcotron bolts securely. water outlet and gasket from thermostat housing (fig. 6B5). 3. Inspect thermostat valve to make sure it is in good condition. 4. Place thermostat in a 33% glycol solution 25 ° above the tem perature stamped on the thermostat valve. 5. Submerge the valve completely and agitate the water thoroughly. U nd er this condition the valve should open fully. 6. Remove the thermostat and place in a 33%glycol solution 10“ below tem perature indicated on the valve. 7. With valve completely submerged and water agitated thoroughly, the valve should close completely. 8. If thermostat checks satisfactorily, re-install, using a new housing gasket. 9. Refill cooling system. T H E R M O S T A T IC FAN CLUTCH Radiator Cap REPLACEMENT The ra d ia to r cap should be washed with clean water and pressure checked at regular tune-up intervals. Inspect ru b b e r seal on cap for tears or cracks. Install rad iato r cap on tester (fig. 6B-4). If the pressure cap will not hold pressure or does not release at the proper pressure, replace the cap. All m ating surfaces (water p u m p hub and fan clutch hub) should be inspected for smooth m ating surfaces and reworked as necessary to eliminate burrs or other imperfections. Except for the fan belt, components should be assembled to the engine (See W ater Pump Removal and Installation Procedures). Radial run-out should be checked as follows: 1. Secure the fan blade to prevent rotation. (See Figure 6B-6). 2. M ount a dial indicator (.001 graduations) to the engine and place the indicator pointer on the fan blade spider. Preferably on the longest band or space on the spider. (See Figure 6B-7). 3. Rotate the w ater pum p pulley in one direction and note the total am ount of indicator needle movement. This represents the total radial run-out. Mark the point on the pulley at which the highest reading is obtained. 4. If the total indicator reading is less than .006 inch, the assembly is within specification. Install fan belt and adjust. T herm ostat The therm ostat consists o f a restriction valve actuated by a thermostatic element. This is mounted in the housing at the cylinder head water outlet above the w ater pump. T hermostats are designed to open and close at predeterm ined tem peratures and if not operating properly should be removed and tested as follows: Replacement 1. 2. Remove radiator to w ater outlet hose. Remove therm ostat housing bolts and remove 6. Recheck total indicator run-out to verify that run-out is within .006 inch. Install fan belt and adjust. W ater Pump Removal WARNING: If you siphon coolant from the radiator, do not use mouth to start siphoning action. The coolant solution is POISONOUS and can cause death or serious illness if swallowed. Fig. 6B-7-C hecking Run-Out If the total indicator run-out exceeds .006 inch, proceed to Step 5. 5. Divide the total indicator reading in half obtain this thickness from shim stock (1/2 x 3/4 ) and rework per Figure 6B-8. Place this shim pack between the w ater p u m p pulley and fan clutch hub at the bolt closest to the point m arked on the pulley in Step 3. If the mark on the pulley is between two bolts so that it is difficult to determ ine which bolt is closest, place two shim packs; one un der each bolt on either side of the mark. (See Figure 6B-9). Bolt Torque Sequence a. W hen one shim pack is used, first, torque the bolt over which the shim pack has been placed; second, the bolt opposite the first; and finally, the other two. Recom m ended torque is 25 lbs. ft. b. W hen two shim packs are used, each bolt must be torqued partially; then to full torque alternating between opposite bolts; then the other two bolts in the same m anner. Recommended torque is 25 lbs. ft. N O T E : Excessive run-out m ay result if the above sequence and recom m ended torque is not used. 1. D rain coolant from the radiator and break loose the fan pulley bolts. 2. Disconnect heater hose, radiator lower hose and by pass hose (as required) at water pump. 3. Remove Delcotron upper brace (V8 only), loosen swivel bolt, and remove fan belt. On M ark IV and engines disconnect power steering and air conditioning belts and swivel power steering pu m p to one side. 4. Remove fan blade assembly attaching bolts, fan and pulley. CAUTION: I f a fa n blade is bent or dam aged in any way, no attem pt should be made to repair and reuse the dam aged part. A bent or dam aged fa n assembly should always be replaced with a new fa n assembly. It is essential that fan assemblies rem ain in proper balance and p ro p er balance cannot be assured once a fan assembly has been bent or dam aged. A fan assembly that is not in proper balance could fail and fly apart during subsequent use creating an extremely dangerous condition. NOTE: Thermostatic fan clutches must be kept in an "in -c a r" position. W hen removed from the car the assembly should be supported so that the clutch disc rem ains in a vertical plane to prevent silicone fluid leakage. 5. Remove pum p-to-cylinder block and power steering-to-pump bolts and remove pum p and old gasket from engine. CAUTION: On in line engines, p u ll the pum p straight out o f the block first, to avoid damage to impeller. Installation 1. Install pu m p assembly on cylinder block then, using a new sealer-coated pump-to-block gasket, tighten bolts to specifications. 2. Install p u m p pulley and fan on pu m p hub and tighten bolts to specifications. NOTE: A guide stud (5/16"-24 bolt with the head removed) installed in one hole o f the fan hub will aid in aligning hub, pulley and fan. Remove stud after starting the remaining three bolts. On Mark IV engines install power steering and air condition­ ing bolts. 3. Connect hoses and fill cooling system. 4. Install Delcotron upper brace (V8 only), and install fan belt. Install power steering pu m p bolt. NOTE: G rind a slight taper to threaded end of bolt. This will serve as a pilot during installation and also serve to pick-up threads on nut. 5. Adjust belts to specifications as previously outlined. 6. Start engine and check for leaks. SECTION 6C FUEL SYSTEM CONTENTS G e n e ra l D escription.........................................

FUEL FILTER All light duty emissions engines have a pleated p ap er fuel filter and check valve assembly located in the carburetor inlet. All vehicles have a woven plastic fuel filter in the fuel tank on the lower end o f the pick-up pipe. In all series the tank is vented during filling by an internal baffle inside the filler. In all series the tank outlet consists of a com bination fuel pickup, filter and fuel gage tank unit. The tank unit can be removed by removing a cam ring which retains the unit. The fuel feed pipes are coated, welded steel tubing. Connections from the tank unit to the line and from the line to the fuel pu m p are made with synthetic rubber hose attached with spring clamps. FUEL P U M P The fuel pum p is located on the right front of the engine. FUEL T A N K AND FEED PIPES All filler necks with light duty emissions have restrictors to prevent the entry o f leaded fuel nozzles. EVAPORATIVE CONTROL SYSTEM (ECS) The Evaporative Control System is a closed system that prevents gasoline vapors in the fuel tank and carburetor from entering the atmosphere.

MODEL 1ME CARBURETOR GENERAL DESCRIPTION The Monojet, carburetor (Fig. 6C-1) is a single bore d o w n d ra ft c a rb u re to r using a triple venture in conjunction with a plain tube nozzle. Fuel flow through the main metering system is controlled by a m ain well air bleed and a variable orifice jet. A power enrichment system is used to provide good ELECTRIC Fig. 6C -2-M odel 1ME C arburetor Id entification CAM FOLLOWER Fig. 6 C -l-M o d e l 1ME Carburetor-Rear View perform ance during m oderate to heavy acceleration and at higher engine speeds. The idle system, on certain models, incorporates a hot idle com pensator (A.T. only) to m a intain smooth engine idle during periods o f extreme hot engine operation. The model 1ME incorporates an integral automatic choke system which uses an d electrically heated choke coil. The vacuum d ia p h ra g m unit is mounted externally on the air horn and connects to the thermostatic coil lever through a connecting line. The electric choke coil is contained in a choke housing m ounted on a bracket attached to the float bowl. A n integral, pleated-paper fuel inlet filter is m ounted in the fuel bowl behind the fuel inlet nut to give m a x im u m filtraton o f incom ing fuel. A check valve on light duty emissions is used in the filter inlet to prevent fuel d rain in g from the fuel system after roll­ over. O th er features o f the M onojet carburetor include an alum inum throttle body for decreased weight and improved h eat distribution and a thick throttle body to bowl insulator gasket to keep excessive engine heat from the float bowl. The carburetor has internally balanced venting through a vent hole in the air horn, which leads from the float bowl into the bore beneath the air cleaner. The carburetor model identification is stam ped on a vertical portion o f the float bowl, adjacent to the fuel inlet nut (Fig. 6C-2). If replacing the float bowl, follow the m anufactu r­ e r ’s instructions contained in the service package so that the identification nu m b e r can be transferred to the new float bowl. An electrically operated idle stop solenoid is used on all models. Dual throttle return springs are used on all carburetors. The throttle lever has a spun-in plastic bushing, this is used as the bearing surface for the dual throttle return springs. NOTE: The spun-in plastic return spring bushing will w ith sta n d no rm al cleaning time in an approved cold im mersion type carburetor cleaner. The bushing is not serviced separately and should not be removed from the carburetor throttle lever. An Exhaust G as Recirculation system (EG R ) is used on light duty emission and heavy duty emission 454 CID Calif, to control oxides o f nitrogen. The vacuum supply port necessary to operate the recirculation valve is located in the throttle body and connects through a channel to a tube which is located at the top o f the air horn casting. See Idle System (Fig. 6C-4) for port location and operation. Six basic systems of operation are used: float, idle, main metering, power enrichment, pum p and choke. 6C3 through 9).

All light duty emission models use a fuel inlet check valve to shut off fuel flow to the carburetor float bowl to prevent fuel leaks if a vehicle roll-over should occur. All models (except California) use full vacuum for distributor advance obtained through a tube pressed into the float bowl (choke side location "h " ). On C alifornia models, timed vacuum for distributor advance is supplied through this same tube (location "h"). A n Exhaust G a s Recirculation (E.G.R.) system is used to meet emission requirem ents for oxides o f N itrogen (NOx). In addition, a cup restriction is added in the float bowl behind the Exhaust G a s Recirculation (E.G.R.) vacuum tube (location "j"), to delay E.G.R. valve operation for im proved engine perform ance as the throttle valves are opened. A electrically operated solenoid is used on all 2G C models equipped with automatic transmission and air conditioning. The solenoid is used to m ain tain proper idle speed when the air conditioning is in operation. Fuel for the pu m p system is obtained through a hole located in a raised cast-in boss on the floor o f the float bowl which prevents the entry of dirt into the accelerator p u m p fuel inlet passage. The p u m p plunger head is designed with an expander spring beneath the pum p cup to m aintain good pum p wall contact during pu m p operation. The end o f the pu m p plunger stem is upset in m a nufacturing to provide the "clipless" retaining in feature. The p u m p plunger assembly may be removed from the inner lever by twisting upset end with small pliers until it breaks. The service pum p assembly has a grooved end and is provided with a retaining clip. The carburetor p art n um b e r is stam ped on the flat section o f the float bowl next to the fuel inlet nut. (Fig. 6C-17). W hen servicing the carburetor unit, refer to the O n-Car Service section for proper procedures and specifications. Incorporated in the Model 2 G C carburetor are six basic systems. They are Float, Idle, M ain Metering, Power, Pump and Choke (Figs. 6C-17 through 23).

The triple venture system is used on the prim ary side fo the carburetor with 1-3/8 inch throttle valve bores. The secondary side has two 2 -1/4 inch bores. Using the air valve principle in the secondary side, fuel is metered in direct proportion to the air passing through the secondary bores. A baffle is attached to the secondary side o f the air horn above the main well bleed tubes to deflect incoming air to improve secondary nozzle operation on heavy acceleration. The solenoid is used on air conditioned equipped vehicles with automatic transmission and light duty emissions to increase idle speed slightly w hen the air conditioning is in operation. This allows the engine to idle at the same speed when the air conditioning is in operation, as when it is off. The float assembly is used along with a windowless type needle seat for better fuel handling in the float bowl. Also, a plastic filler block is used above the float ch am ber to reduce fuel slosh in this area. A fuel inlet filter check valve is used on light duty emission models to shut off fuel flow to the carburetor float bowl to prevent fuel leaks if a vehicle roll over should occur. The m ain m etering system on all models uses separate m ain wells to feed each fuel nozzle for improved fuel flow in the venturi system. Adjustable Part T h ro ttle-M 4M C /M 4M E In order to provide a close tolerance adjustm ent in the main metering system, an adjustm ent is provided to very accurately set the depth o f the metering rods in the main metering jets. The adjustm ent feature consists o f a pin pressed in the side of the power piston which extends through a slot in the side o f the piston well. W hen the power piston is C H O K E VALVE A C C E L E R A T O R P U M P ROD A IR V A LV E PART N U M B E R THRO TTLE LEVER F U EL IN LET PR IM A R Y TH ROTTLE LEVER IDLE M IX T U R E C U R B IDLE S C R E W down (economy position), the side o f the p in stops on top o f a flat surface on the adjustm ent screw located in the cavity next to the power piston. The adjustment screw is held from tu rning by a tension spring beneath the head of the adjustm ent screw. D urin g production flow test this adjustm ent screw is turned up o r down which, in turn, raises or lowers the power piston and metering rod assembly. This very accurately controls the fuel flow between the rods and jets to meet emission requirements. CAUTION: No attempt should be made to change the A P T adjustment. I f float bowl replacement is required, the new bowl assembly will include an adjustment screw pre-set by the factory. A n exp and er (garter) spring beneath the plunger cup on the accelerator p u m p assembly improves pum p fuel delivery. All M 4 M C /M 4 M E models use the bowl mounted choke housing with thermostatic control assembly. The choke shaft and some other parts o f the choke system are Teflon coated to insure smooth choke operation. The carburetor p a rt nu m b er (Fig. 6C-33) is stamped on a vertical section o f the bowl, near the secondary throttle lever. Refer to the part nu m b e r on the bowl when servicing this carburetor. W hen replacing the float bowl assembly, follow the instructions contained in the service package. Stam p or engrave the model nu m b e r on the new float bowl. The prim ary side o f the carburetor has six systems o f operation. They are float, idle, m ain metering, power, pump, and choke. The secondary side has one metering system which supplements the prim ary m ain metering system and receives fuel from a com m on float chamber. (Figs. 6C-34).

Do not remove the caps during normal engine maintenance. Before suspecting the carburetor as the cause of poor engine perform ance or rough idle, check ignition system including distributor, timing, spark plugs and wires. Check air cleaner, evaporative emission system, EFE System, PCV system. E G P valve and engine compression. Also inspect intake manifold, vacuum hoses and connections for leaks and check torques of carburetor m ounting bolts/nuts. In the case of m ajor carburetor overhaul, throttle body replacement, high idle CO as indicated by state or local emission inspection, the idle mixture may be adjusted. Adjusting mixture by other than the following method may violate Federal a n d / o r C alifornia or other state laws. Idle M ixtu re A d ju stm ent 1. Set parking brake and block drive wheels. 2. Remove air cleaner for access to carburetor, but keep vacuum hoses connected. 3. Disconnect and plug other hoses as directed on Emission Control Inform ation Label under the hood. 4. Engine must be at norm al operating tem pera­ ture, choke open, air conditioning off. 5. Connect an ACCURATE tachom eter to engine. 6. Disconnect vacuum advance and plug hose. Check ignition timing.

These fuel filter elements are o f pleated paper. Elements are placed in the inlet hole with the gasket surface outward. A spring holds the element outward, sealing it by com pressing a gasket surface against the inlet fitting. ON-VEHICLE SERVICE The carburetor inlet fuel filter should be every 15,000 miles or 12 months. A fter assembling any filter element in buretor, always start the engine and check for the fuel line and fittings before installing the air replaced the car­ leaks in cleaner. Other Filters or Strainers A woven plastic filter is located on the lower end of the fuel pickup pipe in the gas tank. This filter prevents dirt from en tering the fuel line and also stops water unless the filter becomes completely submerged in water. This filter is self cleaning and normally required no m aintenance. Fuel stoppage at this point indicates that the gas tank contains an ab n o rm a l am ou nt of sediment or water; the tank should therefore be removed and thoroughly cleaned. 2. 3. 4.

FUEL PUMP G ENER AL D E S C R IP TIO N The fuel pu m p (Figs. 6C-59 through 61)) is a d ia p h ra g m type pum p and is actuated by the rocker arm through a link and a push rod. Some vehicles have a fuel pum p which has a m etering outlet for a vapor return system. Any vapor which form s is returned to the fuel tank along with hot fuel through a separate line. This greatly reduces any possibility o f v a p or lock by keeping cool fuel from the tank constantly circulating through the fuel pump. ON-VEHICLE SERVICE Inspection and Test If the fuel system is suspected o f delivering an im proper am ount o f fuel to the carburetor, it should be inspected and tested in the vehicle, as follows: Inspection of Fuel System 1. M ake certain that there is gasoline in the tank. 2. With the engine running, inspect for leaks at all gasoline feed hose connections from fuel tank to carburetor. Tighten any loose connections. Inspect all hoses for flattening or kinks which would restrict the flow o f fuel. Air leaks or restrictions on suction side o f mechanical fuel pu m p will seriously affect pum p output. 3. Inspect for leaks at fuel pum p d iaphrag m flange. 4. Disconnect feed pipe n ear carburetor. G ro un d distributor terminal of coil with ju m p e r wire so that engine can be cranked without firing. Place suitable co n tain er at end o f pipe an d crank engine a few revolutions. If no gasoline, or only a little flows from pipe, the feed line is clogged or fuel pum p is inoperative. Before con d em n in g the fuel pum p, disconnect feed line at both ends and blow through it w ith air hose to m ake certain that fuel p um p is o p eratin g w ithin specifications. Fuel Pump Pressure Test 1. D isconnect gasoline line n ear carb u reto r and connect a suitable pressure gage (such as Pressure L eakdow n T ester J-22109). 2. S tart engine and check pressure with engine ru n n in g at slow idle speed. Fuel pum p pressure should be as specified at the end o f this section On vehicles eq u ip p ed w ith a v ap o r retu rn system, squeeze off the retu rn hose so th at an accurate read in g can be obtained. 3. If fuel pum p pressure is below m inim um , pum p m ust be replaced. Fuel Pump Flow Test 1. D isconnect fuel line from carburetor. Run fuel line in to a suitable m easuring container. Fig. 6C-59~Fuel Pump-L6 2. W hile observing the sweep second hand o f a clock o r w atch, run the engine at idle until there is one p in t o f fuel in the co ntainer. O ne p in t should be pum ped in 30 seconds o r less. 3. If flow is below m inim um , check for restriction in the line. Diagnosis C om plete diagnosis o f all possible causes o f the trouble p rio r to replacem ent o f the fuel pum p will save tim e, expense and possible causes o f the trouble p rio r to replacem ent o f the fuel p u m p will save time, expense and possibly prevent a rep eat com plaint. Low Pressure Complaint 1. D isconnect fuel inlet hose from pum p. D iscon­ nect vapor return hose, if so equipped. 2. D isconnect fuel outlet pipe. 3. Remove two 1/2 inch hex head bolts, using a 3 /8 inch drive deep socket and a ratchet handle. 4. Remove fuel pum p. Installation The only way to check fuel pum p pressure is by connecting an accurate pressure gauge to the fuel line at c a rb u re to r level. N ever replace a fuel pum p w ithout first m aking th at sim ple check. Not Enough Fuel Flow Complaint W hen an engine has a "starv in g -o u t" condition, m any m echanics jum p to the conclusion that the fuel pum p is not p u m p in g enough fuel. M any tim es the "s tarv in g -o u t" condition is actually due to a w eakness in the ignition system , since these two troubles are very h ard to separate. Even when an engine is starving for fuel, the cause is m ore likely to be a plugged fuel filter or a restricted fuel line than a m alfunctioning fuel pum p. Removal 1. Install new fuel pum p w ith new gasket. 2. Install two 1/2 inch hex head bolts, turning them alternately and evenly. 3. Install fuel outlet pipe. If it is difficult to start fitting, tim e can be saved by disconnecting up p er end o f pipe from carburetor. T ighten fitting securely, m ean ­ w hile holding fuel p um p n u t w ith a wrench. Install and tighten fitting at carburetor, if rem oved. 4. Install fuel inlet hose. Install vapor return hose, if so equipped. 5. Start engine and check for leaks. T IG H T E N ‘ 4 BBL.

Flexible hoses are located at fuel tank fuel, v ap o r and retu rn lines and fuel pum p. The pipes should be inspected occasionally fo r leaks, kinks or dents. If evidence o f d irt or foreign m aterial is found in carb u reto r, fuel pum p or pipes, pipe should be disconnected and blown out. D irt or foreign m aterial m ay be caused by a dam ag ed or om itted fuel strain er in fuel tank. ON-VEHICLE SERVICE Replacement If replacem ent o f fuel feed pipe, v apor pipe or retu rn pipe is required, use only double w rap an d brazed steel tubing m eeting G M Specification 123M or its equivalent. U nder no condition use copper or alum inum tubing to replace steel tubing. Those m aterials do not have satisfactory fatigue durability to w ithstand norm al vehicle vibrations. Repair 1. Do not use fuel hose for pipe rep a ir w ithin 4 inches o f any part o f the exhaust system. 2. In rep airab le areas, cut fuel hose 4 inches longer than the portion o f pipe rem oved. Use only hose stated for fuel usage by the m anufacturer. If m ore than a 6-inch length o f pipe is rem oved, use a com bination o f steel pipe and hose so that hose lengths will not be longer th an 10 inches. 3. The fuel hose should extend 2 inches on each pipe and be clam ped at each end. Pipes must be properly secured to the fram e to prevent chafing. EVAPORATIVE CONTROL SYSTEM (ECS) GENERAL DESCRIPTION All light duty em issions and some heavy duty em ission vehicles are eq uipped w ith a system designed to preven t escape o f fuel v ap o r to the atm osphere. V apor generated by ev ap o ratio n o f fuel in the tank, previously exhausted to atm osphere, is tran sferred by an em ission line to the engine com partm ent. D u rin g periods o f o p eratio n , vapors are fed directly to the engine for co n su m p tio n . D u rin g p erio d s o f in o p e ra tio n , an activated charcoal canister located in the em ission line stores any v ap o r g en erated for consum ption d uring the next p eriod o f operation. T he am ount o f vap o r draw n into the engine at any tim e is too sm all to have any effect on fuel econom y or engine operation. W ith this closed system it is extrem ely im p o rtan t th at only vapors be tran sferred to the engine. To avoid the possibility o f liquid fuel being draw n into the system, these follow ing features are included as p a rt o f the total system : 1. A fuel tank overfill protector is provided on all series to assure ad eq u ate room for expansion o f liquid fuel volum e w ith tem p eratu re changes. 2. A one point fuel tank venting system is provided on all series to assure that the tank will be vented u n d er any conceivable vehicle attitude. 3. To protect the tank from m echanical d am age in the event o f excessive in tern al or external pressures resulting fro m the o p eratio n o f this closed system, a pressure-vacuum relief valve, located in the gas cap, will control the tank intern al pressure. be replaced every 24 m onths or 30,000 miles (light duty emissions), 24,000 miles (heavy duty em issions).

This switch and its associated circuitry provide for the illumination of the "Oil" tell tale lamp in the event of loss of oil pressure or loss of voltage at the choke heater. The diagram in Figure 6D-1A shows how the dual function is accomplished. The "Bulb Check" feature is same as present system. T hat is, with ignition switch in "Run" position with engine off. This circuit will also indicate continuity in the choke heater and its connector. If "Oil" tell tale lamp illuminates with engine running, it could indicate one or more of the following: 1. Loss of oil pressure. 2. Loss of choke heater voltage. 3. Blown G A U G E fuse. ELECTRIC C H O K E H EA TER C H E C K IN G PROCEDURE 1. Allow choke to cool so that when throttle is opened slightly, choke blade fully closes. NOTE: This check must be performed with engine not running and at an ambient temperature of 60°C to 27°C. 2. Start engine and determine time for choke blade to reach full open position. (Start timer when engine starts). 3. If the choke blade fails to open fully within 3.5 minutes, proceed with steps 4-5-6 below. 4. Check voltage at the choke heater connection. (Engine must be running). If the voltage is approximately 12-15 volts, replace the electrical choke unit. 5. If the voltage is low or zero, check all wires and connections. If any connections in the oil pressure switch circuitry are faulty or if the oil pressure switch is failed open, the oil warning light will be on with the engine running. Repair wires or connections as required. 6. If all wiring and connections are good, replace oil pressure switch. Fig. 6D-1 A --E le ctric C hoke H ea te r D iagram NOTE: No gasket is used between the choke cover and the choke housing because of grounding requirements. BATTERY GENERAL DESCRIPTION The battery (fig. 6D-1B) is made up of a number of separate elements, each located in an individual cell in a hard rubber case. Each element consists of an assembly of positive plates and negative plates containing dissimilar active materials and kept apart by separators. The elements are immersed in an electrolyte composed of dilute sulfuric acid. Plate straps located on the top of each element connect all the positive plates and all the negative plates into groups. The elements are connected in series electrically by connectors that pass directly through the case partitions between cells. The battery top is a one piece cover. The cell connectors, by passing through the cell partitions, connect the elements along the shortest practical path (fig. 6D-2B). W ith the length of the electrical circuit inside the battery reduced to a C H ARG E IN D IC ATO R DARKENED INDICATOR WITH GREEN DOT - OK FOR TESTING DARKENED INDICATOR NO GREEN DOT________ - CHARGE BEFORE TESTING LIGHT YELLOW INDICATOR - DO NOT CHARGE OR TEST - REPLACE BATTERY minimum, the internal voltage drop is decreased resulting in improved performance, particuarly during engine cranking at low temperatures. The terminals of this type battery, passing through the side of the case, are positioned out of the "wet" area surrounding the vent holes. Norm al spillage, spewing, condensation, and road splash are not as likely to reach or remain on the vertical sides where the terminals are located. This greatly decreases the cause of terminal corrosion. Also, construction of the terminals is such that the mating cable connector seals the junction and provides a permanently tight and clean connection. Power robbing resistance in the form of corrosion is thereby eliminated at these maintenance-free connections. The hard, smooth, one piece cover greatly reduces the tendency for corrosion to form on the top of the battery. The NEGATIVE ELECTROLYTE C O N T A IN E R SEPARATOR ELEMENT 2 VOLT BATTERY CELL Fig. 6 D -3 B -B a tte ry E lem ent (Sim ple) Fig. 6 D -4 B ~ T w o V o lt B a tte ry Cell cover is bonded to the case forming an air-tight seal between the cover and case. Electrical energy is released by chemical reactions between the active materials in the two dissimilar plates and the electrolyte whenever the battery is being "discharged." Maximum electrical energy is released only when the cells are being discharged from a state of full charge. As the cells discharge, chemical changes in the active m aterials in the plates gradually reduce the potential electrical energy available. "Recharging" the battery with a flow of direct current opposite to that during discharge reverses the chemical changes within the cells and restores them to their active condition and a state of full charge. The lead-acid storage battery is an electrochemical device for converting chemical energy into electrical energy. It is not a storage tank for electricity as is often believed, but instead, stores electrical energy in chemical form. Active materials within the battery react chemically to produce a flow of direct current whenever lights, radio, cranking m otor, or other current consuming devices are connected to the battery term inal posts. This current is produced by chemical reaction between the active materials of the PLATES and the sulfuric acid of the ELECTRO LY TE. The battery performs three functions in automotive applications: 1. It supplies electrical energy for the cranking motor and for the ignition system as the engine is started. 2. It supplies current for the lights, radio, heater, and other accessories when the electrical demands of these devices exceed the output of the generator. 3. The battery acts as a voltage stabilizer in the electrical system. Satisfactory operation of the vehicle is impossible unless the battery performs each of these functions. The simplest unit of a lead-acid storage battery is made up of two unlike materials, a positive plate and a negative plate, kept apart by a porous separator. This assembly is called an "ELEM EN T" (Fig. 6D-3B). When this simple element is put in a container filled with a sulphuric acid and water solution called "electrolyte", a two-volt "cell" is formed. Electricity will flow when the plates are connected to an electrical load (Fig. 6D-4B). An element made by grouping several positive plates together and several negative plates together with separators between them also generates two-volts but can produce more total electrical energy than a simple cell (Fig. 6D-5B). W hen six cells are connected in series, a "battery" of cells is formed which produces six times as much electrical pressure as a simple cell, or a total of 12 volts (Fig. 6D-6B). If the battery continuously supplies current, it becomes run-down or discharged. This is where the generator gets into the act. The generator restores the chemical energy to the battery. This is done by sending current through the battery in a direction opposite to that during discharge. The generator current reverses the chemical actions in the battery and restores it to a charged condition. 2 VOLTS DAYS STANDING Fig 6 D -6 B ~ T y p ic a l 12 V o lt B a tte ry Cell A rra n g e m e n t Fig. 6 D -7 B - Rate o f S e lf-D isch a rg e C O M M O N C A U S E S OF FAILURE Since the battery is a perishable item which requires periodic servicing, a good m aintenance program will insure the longest possible battery life. If the battery tests good but fails to perform satisfactorily in service for no apparent reason, the following are some of the more im portant factors that may point to the cause of the trouble. 1. Vehicle accessories inadvertently left on overnight to cause a discharge condition. 2. Slow speed driving of short duration, to cause an undercharged condition. 3. A vehicle electrical load exceeding the generator capacity. 4. Defect in the charging system such as high resistance, slipping fan belt, faulty generator or voltage regulator. 5. Battery abuse, including failure to keep the battery top clean, cable attaching bolts clean and tight, and improper addition of water to the cells. C A R E OF B A T T E R Y Battery Storage A wet charged battery will not maintain its charged condition during storage, and must be recharged periodically. During storage, even though the battery is not in use, a slow reaction takes place between the chemicals inside the battery which causes the battery to lose charge and "wear out" slowly. This reaction is called "self-discharge." The rate at which self-discharge occurs varies directly with tem perature of the electrolyte. Note from Figure 6D-7B that an battery stored in an area at 100°F (38°C) for 60 days has a much lower specific gravity and consequently a lower state of charge than one stored in an area at 60°F (16°C) for the same length of time. To minimize self-discharge, a wet battery should be stored in as cool a place as possible, provided the electrolyte does not freeze. A wet battery which has been allowed to stand idle for a long period of time without recharging may become so badly damaged by the growth of lead sulfate crystals (sulfation) in the plates that it can never be restored to a normal charged condition. An battery in this condition not only loses its capacity but also is subject to changes in its charging characteristics. These changes, due to self­ discharge, are often serious enough to prevent satisfactory performance in a vehicle. Periodic recharging, therefore, is necessary to maintain a wet charged battery in a satisfactory condition while in storage. See paragraph "Charging Wet battery in Storage." C h a r g i n g W e t b a t t e r y in S t o r a g e Before placing a battery on charge, always check the battery charge indicator. The battery should be brought to a fully charged condition only when darkened indicator with no green dot appears by charging as covered under heading of "Battery Charging." Trickle charging should not be used to maintain a battery in a charged condition when in storage. The low charge rate method applied every 30 days is the best method of maintaining a wet charged battery in a fully charged condition without damage. Electrolyte Freezing The freezing point of electrolyte depends on its specific V A L U E OF S PECIFIC G R A V IT Y @ 30 F 1.100 1.120 1.140 1.160 1.180 1.200 F R E E Z IN G TEMP. °F °C 18 13 8 1 - 6 -1 7 - 8 -11 -1 3 -1 7 -21 -2 7 V A L U E OF SPECIFIC G R A V IT Y @80 F 1.220 1.240 1.260 1.280 1.300 F R E E Z IN G TEMP. °F °C -3 3 -5 0 -7 5 -9 2 -9 5 -3 6 -4 6 -5 9 -6 9 -71 gravity. The following table gives the freezing temperatures of electrolyte at various specific gravities. Since freezing may ruin a wet battery, it should be protected against freezing by keeping it in a charged condition. This is true whether the wet battery is in storage or in service. Carrier and Hold-Down The battery carrier and hold-down should be clean and free from corrosion before installing the battery. The carrier should be in sound mechanical condition so that it will support the battery securely and keep it level. To prevent the battery from shaking in its carrier, the hold-down bolts should be tight (60-80 in. lbs.). However, the bolts should not be tightened to the point where the battery case or cover will be placed under a severe strain. Cleaning The external condition of the battery should be checked periodically for damage such as cracked cover, case and vent plugs or for the presence of dirt and corrosion. The battery should be kept clean. An accumulation of acid film and dirt may permit current to flow between the terminals, which will slowly discharge the Battery. For best results when cleaning batteries, wash first with a diluted ammonia or a soda solution to neutralize any acid present; then flush with clean water. Care m ust be taken to keep vent plugs tight, so that the neutralizing solution does not enter the cells. BATTERY RATING A battery generally has two classifications of ratings: (1) a 20 hour rating at 80 F and, (2) a cold rating at 0 F which indicates the cranking load capacity. The A m pere/H our rating found on batteries was based on the 20 hour rating. That is, a battery capable of furnishing three (3) amperes for 20 hours while maintaining a specified average individual cell voltage would be classified as a 60 ampere hour battery (e.g. 3 amperes X 20 hours = 60 A .H .) a PW R (Peak W att Rating) has been developed as a measure of the battery’s cold cranking ability. The num erical rating is embossed on each case at the base of the battery. This value is determined by multiplying the maximum current by the maximum voltage. The PW R should not be confused with the ampere hour rating since two batteries with the same ampere hour rating can have quite different watt ratings. For battery replacement, a unit of at least equal power rating must be selected. SELECTING A R E P L A C E M E N T BATTERY Long and troublefree service can be more assured when the capacity or wattage rating of the replacement battery is at least equal to the wattage rating of the battery originally engineered for the application by the m anufacturer. The use of an undersize battery may result in poor performance and early failure. Figure 6D-8B shows how battery power shrinks while the need for engine cranking power increases with falling temperatures. Sub-zero tem peratures reduce capacity of a fully charged battery to 45% of its norm al power and at the same time increase cranking load to 3-1/2 times the normal warm weather load. Hot weather can also place excessive electrical loads on the battery. Difficulty in starting may occur when cranking is attem pted shortly after a hot engine has been turned off or stalls. In fact, modern high compression engines can be as difficult to start under such conditions as on the coldest Fig. 6 D -8 B --B a tte ry P ow er vs F a llin g T e m p e ra tu re winter day. Consequently, good performance can be obtained only if the battery has ample capacity to cope with these conditions. A battery of greater capacity should be considered if the electrical load has been increased through the addition of accessories or if driving conditions are such that the generator cannot keep the battery in a charged condition. On applications where heavy electrical loads are encountered, a higher output generator that will supply a charge during low speed operation may be required to increase battery life and improve battery performance. SAFETY P RECAUTIONS When batteries are being charged, an explosive gas mixture forms in each cell. Part of this gas escapes through the holes in the vent holes and may form an explosive atmosphere around the battery itself if ventilation is poor. This explosive gas may remain in or around the battery for several hours after it has been charged. Sparks or flames can ignite this gas causing an internal explosion which may shatter the battery (Fig. 6D-9B). The following precautions should be observed to prevent an explosion: 1. Do not smoke near batteries being charged or which have been very recently charged. 2. D o not break live circuits at the terminals of batteries because a spark usually occurs at the point where a live circuit is broken. Care must always be taken when connecting or disconnecting booster leads or cable clamps on fast chargers. Poor connections are a common cause of electrical arcs which cause explosions. CHARG ING PROCEDURES Before charging a battery the electrolyte level must be checked and adjusted if needed. Battery charging consists of applying a charge rate in amperes for a period of time in hours. Thus, a 10-ampere charge rate for seven hours would be a 70 ampere-hour (A.H.) charging input to the battery. Charging rates in the three to 20 ampere range are generally satisfactory. No particular charge rate (expect that charge rate should not exceed 20 amperes) or time can be specified for an battery due to the following factors: 1. The size, or electrical capacity in ampere-hours (A.H.), of the battery. E X A M P L E : A completely discharged 70 A.H. battery IN S U L A T O R PREVENTS AND STRAP TO OL LO SS W HEN S E P A R A T IO N NOT IN USE Fig. 6 D -9B --S parks o r Flam es requires almost twice the recharging as a 40 A.H. battery. 2. Tem perature of the battery electrolyte. E X A M P L E : About two hours longer will be needed to charge a 0°F (-18°C). battery than a 80°F (27°C) battery. 3. Battery state-of-charge at the start of the charging period. E X A M P L E : A completely discharged battery requires twice as much charge in ampere-hours as a one-half charged battery. 4. Battery age and condition. E X A M P L E : A battery that has been subjected to severe service will require up to 50% more am pere-hour charging input than a relatively new battery. The following basic rule applies to any battery charging situation: If the charge indicator is dark and the green dot is not visible, charge battery until dot appears, but not more than 60 ampere-hours (for example 15 amperes for four hours). Do not exceed a charging rate of 20 amperes during charging. N O T E : Some chargers are constant current chargers while others are constant voltage chargers. If a constant voltage charger is used for charging the battery and the green dot fails to appear after prolonged charging, it may be necessary to tip the battery slightly from side to side a few times for the green dot to appear. If the charge indicator is light replace battery. DO NOT attem pt to charge or "jump" when charge indicator is light. N O T E : A battery that failed prematurely, and exhibited a light charge indicator condition, may indicate a need for checking the charging system of the vehicle. For the most satisfactory charging, the lower charging rates in amperes are recommended. An "emergency boost charge", consisting of a high charging rate for a short period of time, may be applied as a temporary expedient in order to crank an engine. However, this procedure usually supplies insufficient battery reserve to crank a second and third time. Therefore, the "emergency boost charge" must be followed by a subsequent charging period of sufficient duration to restore the battery to a satisfactory state of charge. Refer to the charging guide in this section. When out of the vehicle, the sealed side term inal battery will require adapters (Fig. 6D-10B) for the terminals to provide a place for attachm ent of the charging leads. Adapters are available through local parts service. m DAPTER TOOL TO C H A R G IN G ATTACHED T E R M IN A L S Fig. 6 D -10 B -C h a rg in g and T e stin g A d a p te rs When the side terminal battery is in the vehicle, the studs provided in the wiring harness are suitable for attachm ent of the charger’s leads. CAUTI ON: Exercise care when attaching charger leads to side terminal studs to avoid contact with vehicle m etal components which would result in damage to the battery. TESTING P RO CED UR ES Testing procedures are used to determine whether the battery is (1) good and usable, (2) requires recharging or (3) should be replaced. Analysis of battery conditions can be accomplished by performing a visual inspection, instrument test and the full charge hydrometer test. Refer to test procedure chart in this section. Visual Inspection The first step in testing the battery should be a visual inspection, which very often will save time and expense in determining battery condition. • Check the outside of the battery for a broken or cracked case or a broken or cracked cover. If any damage is evident, the battery should be replaced. • Observe battery state of charge indicator to determine condition of battery. • Check for loose cable connections. Correct as required before proceeding with tests. Instrument Test A number of suppliers have approved testing equipment available. These testers have a programmed test procedure consisting of a series of timed discharge and charge events, requiring approximately 2 to 3 minutes, that will determine the condition of the battery with a high degree of accuracy. When using these testers, the procedure recommended by the tester m anufacturer should be followed. IN S TA L LIN G BATTERIES To install a battery properly, it is im portant to observe the following precautions: • Connect grounded term inal of battery last to avoid short circuits which may damage the electrical system. Do not connect primary lead until secondary negative cable wire has been grounded to sheet metal. • Be sure there are no foreign objects in the carrier, so that the new battery will rest properly in the bottom of the carrier. • Tighten the hold-down evenly until snug (60-80 in. lbs.). Do not draw down tight enough to distort or crack the case or cover. • Be sure the cables are in good condition and the term inal bolts are clean and tight. Make sure the ground cable is clean and tight at engine block or frame. • Check polarity to be sure the battery is not reversed with respect to the generating system. Do not over torque cable terminal studs. Replacement 1. Disconnect battery negative cable and then the positive cable. 2. Remove battery hold-down clamp bolt and clamp. 3. Remove battery from tray. 4. Position new battery, which has been properly activated, in the battery tray. 5. Install battery hold down clamp and bolt. N O T E : Recommended hold-down bolt torque is 70 in. lbs. 6. Install battery positive and negative cables and tighten terminal bolts to 70 in. lbs. torque. DIAGNOSIS BATTERY TEST PROCEDURE To determine the ability of a battery to function properly requires testing. The accuracy of the testing changes with temperature, specific gravity, age of the battery, etc. Therefore, an accurate test has more than one step: Step 1. Visual inspection. Step 2. Specific gravity check (hydrometer) Step 3. Program m ed Instrum ent Test Step 4. Load Test. C AU TI ON : Wear safety glasses. D o not break live circuits at battery terminals. When testing be certain to rem ove gases at battery cover caused by charging. MAINTENANCE FREE BATTERY GENERAL IN FO R M A TIO N The state of charge indicator located on top of the battery (Fig. 6D-1B) is to be used with accepted diagnostic procedures only. It is not to be used to determine if the battery is good or bad, or charged or discharged. The indicator is actually a built-in hydrom eter in one cell of the battery and provides visual information only for battery testing. On rare occasions, the state of charge indicator will turn light yellow. Normally, a battery with this condition is capable of further service but the indicator can no longer provide information for battery testing. A light yellow indicator is by no means a command to replace the battery. However, if a problem exists, such as failing to crank, the battery must be replaced. Do not charge, test or jum p start. It is im portant when observing the state of charge indicator, that the battery be relatively level and have a clean indicator top to see the correct indication. An electric light or flashlight may be required in some poorly-lit areas to verify the correct indication. Under normal operation, two indications can be observed: GREEN D O T V IS IB LE Any green appearance in the indicator is interpreted as a "green dot" and the battery is ready for testing. On rare occasions following prolonged cranking, the green dot may still be visible even though the battery is in a discharged condition. Should this occur, charge battery as described in Charging Procedure portion of this manual. DARK-G REEN D O T N O T VISIBLE If there is a cranking complaint, the battery should be tested as described in the Testing Procedure that follows: TESTING PROCEDURE VISUAL INSPECTION Check for obvious damage, such as cracked or broken case or cover, that could permit loss of electrolyte. If obvious physical damage is noted, replace battery. Determine cause of damage and correct as needed. S T A T E OF C H A R G E I N D I C A T O R (Fig. 6 D - 1 B ) Green Dot Visible If the indicator is dark and has a green dot in the center, the battery is OK for testing. Proceed to step 3. On rare occasions, such as after prolonged cranking, the green dot may still be visible even though the battery is in a state of discharge. Should this situation occur, charge battery as described in Charging Procedure portion of this manual. Dark-Green Dot Not Visible If the indicator is dark but the green dot is not visible, charge the battery as described in Charging Procedure portion of this manual and proceed to Remove Surface Charge step. Light or Yellow On rare occasions the indicator will turn light yellow and the battery must not be tested. Replace the battery. Do not charge, test or jum p start. REMOVE SURFACE CHARGE BATTERY C H A RG IN G PROCEDURE Charging equipment for ordinary batteries is suitable for Maintenance- Free type batteries. Do not charge a battery if the green dot is visible except N O T E : If battery is out of vehicle, use adapters as on rare occasions following prolonged cranking when the shown in Charging and Testing A dapters portion of this battery is discharged but the green dot still appears. Should manual. this situation occur, a boost-charge of 20 ampere-hours is LOAD TEST recommended. Do not charge a battery if the state of charge indicator a.

After charging in accordance with the tables, the green dot may appear in the state of charge indicator after slightly tipping the battery from side to side a few times. If the green dot does not appear, the battery is still sufficiently charged for testing. C H A R G IN G A N D TESTING A DA PTERS Freedom type batteries should be charged or tested onthe-vehicle, using existing terminals. However, when the battery is out-of-the-vehiele, adapters similar to the ACDelco adapters Kit #ST -238 shown in Figure 6D-10B are required. THE CHARGING SYSTEM 10-SI SERIES GENERATOR SYSTEM GENERAL DESCRIPTION The 10-SI series generator shown in Figure 6D-1C is typical of a variety of models. A solid state regulator having an integrated circuit is built into the end frame. Although models are available with different outputs at idle and different maximum outputs, their basic operating principles are the same. The generator consists primarily of two end frame assemblies, a rotor assembly and a stator assembly. A typical cross-sectional view is shown in Figure 6D-1C. The rotor assembly is supported in the drive end frame by a ball bearing and in the slip ring end frame by a roller bearing. These rotor bearings contain a supply of lubricant sufficiently adequate to eliminate the need for periodic lubrication. Two brushes carry current through the two slip rings to the field coil mounted on the rotor and under normal conditions will provide long periods of attention - free service. No periodic adjustments or maintenance are required on the generator assembly. The stator windings are assembled on the inside of a laminated core that forms part of the generator frame. A Fig. 6 D -1 C -1 0 -S I Series G e n era to r rectifier bridge connected to the stator windings contains six diodes, (three positive and three negative) molded into an assembly which is connected to the stator windings. This rectifier bridge changes the stator a.c. voltages to d.c. voltage which appears at the output terminal. The blocking action of the diodes prevent battery discharge back through the generator. Because of this blocking action, the need for a cutout relay in the circuit is eliminated. G enerator field current is supplied through a diode trio which is also connected to the stator windings. A capacitor, or condenser, mounted in the end frame protects the rectifier bridge and diode from high voltages, and suppresses radio noise. The typical passenger car integral charging system is made up of two com ponents-a generator with a built-in solid state voltage regulator and battery. These components work together to supply electrical power for ignition, lights, radio, cranking motor, etc. A typical wiring diagram is illustrated in Figure 6D-2C. The basic operating principles are explained as follows. When the switch is closed, current from the battery flows through the indicator lamp to the generator No. 1 terminal, through resistor R l, diode D l, and the base-emitter of transistor TR1 to ground, and then back to the battery. This turns on transistor TR1, and current flows through the generator field coil and TR1 back to the battery. The indicator lamp then turns on. Resistor R5 carries some of the indicator lamp current and is shown in figure 6D-2C. W ith the generator operating, a.c. voltage is generated in the stator windings, and the stator supplies d.c. field current through the diode trio, the field, TR1, and then through the grounded diodes in the rectifier bridge back to the stator. Also, the six diodes in the rectifier bridge change the stator a.c. voltages to a d.c. voltage which appears between ground and the generator "BAT" terminal. As generator speed increases, current is provided for charging the battery and operating electrical accessories. Also, with the generator operating, the same voltage appears at the "BAT" and No. 1 terminals, and the indicator lamp goes out to indicate the generator is producing voltage. The No. 2 terminal on the generator is always connected to the battery, but the discharge current is limited to a negligible value by the high resistances of R2 and R3. As the generator speed and voltage increase, the voltage between R2 and R3 increases to the point where zener diode D2 conducts. Transistor TR2 then turns on and TR1 turns off. With TR1 off, the field current and system voltage decrease, and D2 then blocks current flow, causing TR1 to turn back on. The field current and system voltage increase, and this cycle then repeats many times per second to limit the generator voltage to a pre-set value. Capacitor C l smooths out the voltage across R3, resistor R4 prevents excessive current through TR1 at high temperatures, and diode D3 prevents high-induced voltages in the field windings when TR1 turns off. Resistor R2 is a therm ister which causes the regulated voltage to vary with temperature, thus providing optimum voltage for charging the battery. Fig. 6 D -2 C --ln te g ra l C h a rg in g System C irc u itry DIAGNOSIS Most charging system troubles show up as a faulty indicator lamp, an undercharged or an overcharged battery. Since the battery itself may be defective, it should be checked first to determine its condition. Also, in the case of an undercharged battery, check for battery drain caused by grounds or by accessories being left on. A basic wiring diagram showing lead connections is presented in Figure 6D-3C. The following precautions must be observed when working on the charging circuit. Failure to observe these precautions will result in serious damage to the electrical equipment. • Do not polarize the generator. • Do not short across or ground any of the terminals in the charging circuit except as specifically instructed in these procedures. • Never operate the generator with the output terminal open circuited. • Make sure the generator and battery are of the same ground polarity. • W hen connecting a charger or a booster battery to the vehicle battery, connect negative terminal to negative terminal and positive terminal to positive terminal. S T A T IC C H E C K Before making any electrical checks, visually inspect all connections, including slip-on connectors, to make sure they are clean and tight. Inspect all wiring for cracked, frayed or broken insulation. Be sure generator mounting bolts are tight and unit is properly grounded. Check for loose fan belt. NOTE: In some circuits an ammeter may be used instead of an indicator lamp. In this case, the section pertaining to faulty indicator lamp operation may be omitted from the trouble shooting procedure.

Slip rings which are out of round may be trued in a lathe to .002" maximum indicator reading. Remove only enough material to make the rings smooth and concentric. Finish with 400 grain polishing cloth and blow dry. 5. Slip rings are not replaceable-excessive damage will require rotor assembly replacement. 6. Inspect brushes for wear. If they are worn halfway, replace. Inspect brush springs for distortion or weakening. If brushes appear satisfactory and move freely in brush holder, springs may be reused. T E S T IN G Where specified, conduct the following tests using an ohmmeter with a 1-1/2 volt cell and use the lowest range scale for the readings. Rotor Field Winding Checks (Fig. 6D-10C) The rotor may be checked electrically with a 110-volt test lamp or an ohmmeter. Open C irc u it Connect one test lamp or ohmmeter lead to each slip ring. If the lamp fails to light or if the ohmmeter reading is high, the windings are open. Sh o rt C irc u it The windings are checked for shorts by connecting a 12 volt battery and an am m eter in series with the two slip rings. Note the ammeter reading. An ammeter reading above the specified field amperage draw indicates shorted windings. Refer to Specifications at the end of this manual.

When this is done all six diodes are checked with BRUSH HO LDER RESISTOR S h o r t C ir c u it A short in the stator windings is difficult to locate without special test equipment due to the low resistance of the windings. However, if all other electrical checks are normal and the generator fails to supply rated output, shorted stator windings are indicated. Also, look for heat discoloration on the windings. Diode Trio (Fig. 6D-12C) With the diode trio unit remove from the end frame, connect an ohm m eter to the single connect and to one of the three connectors. Observe the reading, then reverse the ohm m eter leads to the same connectors. A good diode trio will give one high and one low reading. If both readings are the same, replace the diode trio. Repeat this test between the single connector and each of the other two connectors. NOTE: There are two diode trio units differing in appearance used in the generator but they are completely interchangeable. CAUTION: D o not use high voltage such as 110 volt test lam p to check the diode trio. Rectifier Bridge Check (Fig. 6D-13C) Connect an ohm m eter to the grounded heat sink and one of the three terminals. Then reverse the lead connections to the grounded heat sink and same terminal. If both readings are the same, replace the bridge. A good rectifier bridge will give one high and one low reading.

Voltage Reg./Brush Lead Clip Check (Fig. 6D-5C) Connect an ohmm eter from the brush lead clip to the end frame as shown in Step 1, Figure 6D-7C. Then reverse lead connections. If both readings are zero, either the brush lead clip is grounded or the regulator is defective. A grounded brush lead clip can result from omission of the insulating washer, omission of the insulating sleeve on the screw, or a damaged insulating sleeve. Remove the screw and inspect the sleeve. If it is satisfactory, replace the regulator unit. R E P A IR S Brush Holder and Regulator Replacement (Fig. 6D-5C) 1. If not previously removed, remove the three stator lead attaching nuts, the stator, diode trio brush lead screw and diode trio from the end frame. 2. Remove the remaining two screws from the brush holder and regulator and remove these units from the end frame. NOTE: The two screws retaining the brush clips have insulating washers over the tops of the brush clips and special insulating sleeves over the screw body above the threads. If they are damaged or missing a ground will result causing uncontrolled or no output. 3. Replace defective unit and reassemble using reverse of removal procedures. NOTE: The screw nearest regulator terminals does not have an insulating washer, but may or may not have an insulating sleeve. Slip Ring Servicing If the slip rings are dirty, they may be cleaned and finished with 400 grain or finer polishing cloth. Spin the rotor, and hold the polishing cloth against the slip rings until they are clean. CAUTION: The rotor m u st be rotated in order that the slip rings will be cleaned evenly. Cleaning the slip rings b y hand w ithout spinning the rotor m ay result in flat spots on the slip rings, causing brush noise. Slip rings which are rough or out of round should be trued in a lathe to .002 inch maximum indicator reading. Remove only enough material to make the rings smooth and round. Finish with 400 grain or finer polishing cloth and blow away all dust. Drive End Frame-Bearing Replacement/ Lubrication 1. The drive end frame bearing can be removed by detaching the retainer plate bolts and separating retainer plate and seal assembly from end frame, and then pressing bearing out using suitable tube or pipe on outer race. 2.

SPECIAL TOOLS J 21501 PULLY ADAPTER Fig. 6 D -15C --S pecial T ool IGNITION SYSTEM DISTRIBUTOR GENERAL DESCRIPTION There are two types of H EI distributors. The 8 cylinder distributor (Fig. 6 D -li) combines all ignition components in one unit. The ignition coil is in the distributor cap and connects directly to the rotor. The 6 cylinder distributor (Fig. 6D-2i) has an external mounted coil. Both operate basically in the same manner as a conventional ignition system except the module and pick-up coil of the H EI system replace the contact points of the conventional system. The High Energy Igntion is a pulse triggered, transistor controlled, inductive discharge ignition system. The magnetic pick-up assembly located inside the distributor contains a perm anent magnet, a pole piece with internal teeth, and a pick-up coil. When the teeth of the timer core rotating inside the pole piece line up with teeth of the pole piece, an induced voltage in the pick-up coil signals the all electronic module to open the coil primary circuit. The primary current decreases and a high voltage is induced in the ignition coil secondary winding which is directed through the rotor and high voltage leads to fire the spark plugs. The capacitor in the distributor is for radio noise suppression. The module autom atically controls the dwell period, stretching it with increasing engine speed. The H EI system also features a longer spark duration, made possible by the higher am ount of energy stored in the coil primary. This is desirable for firing lean and EGR diluted mixtures. Ignition Coil In the 8 cylinder HEI system, the igntion coil is built into the distributor cap. In the 6 cylinder HEI system, the ignition coil is mounted externally. The coil is somewhat smaller physically than a conventional coil, but has more primary and secondary windings. It is built more like a true transformer with the windings surrounded by the laminated iron core. A conventional coil has the iron core inside the windings. Although the H EI coil operates in basically the same way as a conventional coil, it is more effective in generating higher secondary voltage when the primary circuit is broken. Electronic Module The electronic module is a solid state unit containing five complete circuits which control spark triggering, switching, current limiting, dwell control and distributor pick-up. Dwell angle is controlled by a transistor circuit within the module and is varied in direct relation to engine speed. BAT. TERMINAL (CONNECTED TO IGNITION SWITCH) Pick-Up Assembly The pick-up assembly consists of the following: 1. A rotating tim er core with external teeth which is turned by the distributor shaft. 2. A stationary pole piece with internal teeth. 3. A pick-up coil and magnet which are located between the pole piece and a bottom plate. Centrifugal and Vacuum Advance CONNECT TACHOMETER FROM THIS TERMINAL TO GROUND. TACH TERMINAL (SOME TACHOMETERS MUST CONNECT FROM THIS TERMINAL TO ENERGIZER POSITIVE ( + ). CONSULT TACHOMETER MANUFACTURER.) The centrifugal and vacuum advance mechanisms are basically the same types of units that provide spark advance in the breaker-type system. Centrifugal advance is achieved through the rotation of the timer core in relation to the distributor shaft. Vacuum advance is achieved by attaching the pick-up coil and pole piece to the vacuum advance unit actuating arm.

TERMINAL (CONNECTED TO IG N ITIO N SWITCH) H IG H EN ERG Y IG N ITIO N DISTRIBUTOR LEAD SPARK PLUG V A CUU M UNIT LATCH (4) The pick-up coil is connected to transistors in the electronic module. The electronic module is connected to the primary windings in the coil. As the distributor shaft turns the tim er core teeth out of alignment with the teeth of the pole piece a voltage is created in the magnetic field of the pick-up coil. The pick-up coil sends this voltage signal to the electronic module, which determines from RPM when to start current building in the primary windings of the ignition coil. Each time the tim er core teeth align with the pole piece teeth the pick-up coil magnetic field is changed creating a different voltage. The pick-up coil sends this different voltage signal the electronic module which electronically shuts off the ignition coil primary circuit. This in turn collapses the coil magnetic field, induces high secondary voltage and fires one spark plug. The electronic module delivers full battery voltage to the ignition coil which is limited to five to six amperes. There is no primary resistance wire in the H E I system. The electronic module triggers the closing and opening of the primary circuit instantaneously with no energy lost due to breaker point arcing or capacitor charging time lag. The capacitor in the H EI unit functions only as a radio noise suppressor. H O U SIN G This instantaneous and efficient circuit triggering enables the H EI system to deliver up to approximately 35,000 volts through the secondary wiring to the spark plugs. G EA R Because of the higher voltage, the HEI system has larger diameter (8 millimeter) spark plug wires with silicone insulation. The silicone wire is gray in color, more heat resistant than standard black wire and less vulnerable to deterioration. Silicone insulation is soft, however, and must not be mishandled.

SPARK PLUGS GENERAL DESCRIPTION The spark plug (Fig. 6 D -11 i) consists of a metal shell in which is fastened a porcelain insulator and an electrode extending through the center of the insulator. The metal shell has a short electrode attached to one side and bent in toward the center electrode. There are threads on the metal shell that allow it to be screwed into a tapped hole in the cylinder head. The two electrodes are of special heavy wire, and there is a specified gap between them. The electric spark jum ps this gap to ignite the air-fuel mixture in the combustion chamber, passing from the center, or insulated, electrode. The seals between the metal base, porcelain, and center electrode, as well as the porcelain itself, m ust be able to withstand the high pressure and tem perature created in the combustion chamber during the power stroke. Some spark plugs have been supplied with a built-in resistor which forms part of the center electrode. The purpose of this resistor is to reduce radio and television interference from the ignition system as well as to reduce spark-plugelectrode erosion caused by excessively long sparking. We have been talking of the high-voltage surge from the ignitioncoil secondary as though it were a single powerful surge that almost instantly caused the spark to jum p across the spark plug gap. Actually, the action is more complex than that. There may be a whole series of preliminary surges before a full-fledged spark forms. At the end of the sparking cycle the spark may be quenched and may reform several times. All this takes place in only a few ten-thousandths of a second. The effect is that the ignition wiring acts like a radio transmitting antenna; the surges of high voltage send out impulses that causes radio and television interference. However, the resistors in the spark plugs tend to concentrate the surges in each sparking cycle, reduce their number, and thus reduce the interference and also the erosive effect on the plug electrodes. H e a t R ange S y ste m The "heat range" of a spark plug is determined primarily by the length of the lower insulator. The longer this is, the hotter the plug will operate; the shorter it is, the cooler the plug will operate (Fig. 9-12i). Spark plugs, to give good performance in a particular engine, must operate within a certain temperature range (neither too hot nor too cool). If the spark plug remains too cool: oil, soot, and carbon compounds will deposit on the insulator causing fouling and missing. If the plug runs too hot, electrodes will wear rapidly, and under extreme conditions, prem ature ignition (pre-ignition) of the fuel mixture may result. Frequently, the wrong type of spark plugs, one with an improper heat range for the engine, may have been installed when replacing spark plugs originally fitted by the engine manufacturer and such misapplication may lead to poor performance. The heat range system makes it possible to select the type of spark plug that will operate within the correct tem perature range for each specific engine. Where abnormal operating conditions cause chronic carbon or oil fouling of the plugs, the use of a type one number higher' (a "hotter" type) than recommended will generally remedy the trouble; and by the same formula, where chronic pre-ignition or rapid electrode wear is experienced, a type with one num ber lower (a "cooler" type) will generally U i P P ------- COLDER tt-SS* HOTTER be found satisfactory. The last digit of the type num ber indicates the heat range position of the plug in the heat range system. Read the numbers as you would a therm om eter-the higher the last digit, the "hotter" the spark plug will operate in the engine; the lower the last digit, the "cooler" the spark plug will operate. S p a rk Plug R ea ch and T h re a d s Spark plugs are m anufactured in a num ber of thread sizes and "reaches." Reach is the distance from the gasket seat to the end of the shell. Spark Plugs have a type number on the insulator which designates plug thread size as well as the relative position in the heat range system as previously explained. DIAGNOSIS U nder normal operating conditions, spark plugs wear out due to the destructive action, under intense heat, of sulphur and lead compounds in the fuel and the bom bardm ent of the electric spark on the electrodes. It is reasonable to expect over 22,000 miles of useful life from a spark plug. However, operating conditions are an important factor and life expectany of the spark plug will vary with the type of service in which the engine is used. The same type of spark plug used in two different engines of the same make and model may frequently show wide variation in appearance. The cause of such differences lies in the condition of the engine, its piston rings, carburetor setting, kind of fuel used, and under what conditions the engine is operated, namely, sustained high speeds or heavy loads; or continual low speed, stop-and-go driving or light loads. Spark Plugs are frequently blamed for faulty engine operation which they do not cause. Replacement of old spark plugs by new may temporarily improve poor engine performance because of the lessened demand new plugs make on the ignition system. This cannot permanently cure poor engine performance caused by worn rings or cylinders, weak coil, worn contact points, faulty carburetion or other engine ills. On the following pages are pictures of some commonly encountered appearances and causes of spark plug problems. N O R M A L OPERATION Brown to grayish-tan deposits and slight electrode wear indicate correct spark plug heat range and mixed periods of high and low speed driving. SPARK PLUGS HAVING THIS APPEARANCE MAY BE REINSTALLED. IF MISFIRING PER­ SISTS, SPARK PLUGS SHOULD BE REPLACED. When reinstalling spark plugs, be sure to use new gaskets on spark plugs that utilize engine seat gaskets. N orm al O pe ra tion DEPOSIT F O U L IN G —" A " Red, brown, yellow and white colored coatings which accumulate on the insula­ tor are by-products of combustion and come from the fuel and lubricating oil, both of which today generally contain additives. Most powdery deposits have no adverse effect on spark plug operation; however, they may cause interm ittent missing under severe operating conditions, especially at high speeds and heavy load. SPARK PLUGS HAVING THIS APPEARANCE SHOULD BE REPLACED. D eposit F o u lin g " A " DEPOSIT F O U L IN G —" B " Most powdery deposits, as shown in “A” , have no adverse effect on the operation of the spark plug as long as they remain in the powdery state. However, under certain conditions of operation, these deposits melt and form a shiny yellow glaze coating on the insulator which, when hot, acts as a good electrical conductor. This allows the current to follow the deposits instead of jumping the gap, thus shorting out the spark plug. Glazed deposits can be avoided by not applying sudden load, such as wide open throttle acceleration, after sustained periods of low speed and idle operation. SPARK PLUGS HAVING THIS APPEARANCE SHOULD BE REPLACED. CARBON FOULIN G D eposit F o u lin g " B " Dry, fluffy black carbon deposits may result from overrich carburetion, excessive hand choking, a faulty automatic choke, or a sticking manifold heat valve. A clogged air cleaner can restrict air flow to the carburetor causing rich mixtures. Poor ignition output (faulty breaker points, weak coil or condenser, worn ignition cables) can reduce voltage and cause misfiring. Fouled spark plugs are the result—not the cause of this problem. AFTER THE CAUSE HAS BEEN ELIMINATED, SPARK PLUGS HAVING THIS APPEARANCE SHOULD BE REPLACED. Excessive idling, slow speeds under light load also can keep spark plug tempera­ tures so low that normal combustion deposits are not burned off. In such a case a hotter type spark plug will better resist carbon deposits. DETO N A TIO N Overadvanced ignition timing, or the use o f low octane fuel will result in detona­ tion commonly referred to as engine knock. This causes severe shock inside the combustion chamber resulting in damage to the adjacent parts which include spark plugs. A common result of detonation is to have the sidewire of a spark plug torn off. INSTALL A NEW PLUG OF THE RECOMMENDED HEAT RANGE AFTER PROBLEM HAS BEEN CORRECTED. D e to n a tio n IN SU F F IC IE N T IN S T A L L A T IO N TORQUE Failure to install a spark plug with sufficient torque results in poor contact between the spark plug and the engine seat. The lack of proper heat transfer, resulting from poor seat contact, causes excessive overheating of the spark plug and, in many cases, severe damage as shown. A NEW SPARK PLUG OF THE RECOMMENDED HEAT RANGE SHOULD BE INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AC INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. In s u ffic ie n t In s ta lla tio n T o rq u e PRE—IG N IT IO N Pre-ignition, causing burned or blistered insulator tip and badly eroded elec­ trodes, indicates excessive overheating. Cooling system stoppages or sticking valves can also result in pre-ignition. Lean fuel-air mixtures are an additional cause. INSTALL A NEW PLUG OF THE RECOMMENDED HEAT RANGE AFTER PROBLEM HAS BEEN CORRECTED. Sustained high speed, heavy load service can produce high temperatures which will cause pre-ignition and, in this instance a colder spark plug should be used. P re-ign ition IMPROPER IN S T A L L A T IO N Dirty threads in an engine head will result in the plug seizing before it is actually seated. This results in poor heat transfer and causes the spark plug to overheat. To insure proper seating of a new spark plug in the head, dirty cylinder head threads should be cleaned with a greased thread chaser of the proper size. ELIMINATE THE CAUSE AND INSTALL A NEW PLUG OF THE RECOM MENDED HEAT RANGE. O IL F O U L IN G Wet, oily deposits with a minor degree o f electrode wear may be caused by oil pumping past worn rings. “Break-in” o f a new or recently overhauled engine before rings are fully seated may also result in this condition. Other possibilities o f intro­ duction o f oil into the combustion chamber are a porous vacuum booster pump diaphragm or excessive valve stem guide clearances. A HOTTER TYPE SPARK PLUG WILL REDUCE OIL DEPOSITS, but too hot a spark plug can cause pre-ignition and, consequently, severe engine damage. An engine overhaul may be necessary in severe cases to obtain satisfactory service. O il F oulin g H E A T SH O C K F A IL U R E Heat shock is a common cause of broken and cracked insulator tips. Over­ advanced ignition timing and low grade fuel are usually responsible for heat shock failures. Rapid increase in tip temperature under severe operating conditions causes the heat shock and fracture results. Another common cause of chipped or broken insulator tips is carelessness in regapping by either bending the centerwire to adjust the gap, or allowing the gapping tool to exert pressure against the tip of the center electrode or insulator when bending the side electrode to adjust the gap.

R em oval 1. To disconnect wires, pull only on the boot and gently twist boot while pulling away. Pulling on the wire might cause separation of the core of the wire. Remove spark plugs and gaskets using a 5 /8 " deep socket on the 5/8" hex tapered plugs. Use care in this operation to avoid cracking spark plug insulators. 2. Carefully inspect the insulator and electrodes of all spark plugs. Replace any spark plug which has a cracked or broken insulator. If the insulator is worn away around the center electrode, or the electrodes are burned or worn, the spark plug is worn out and should be discarded. Examine interior of plug in good light. Remove any cleaning compound with compressed air. If traces of carbon oxide remain in plug, finish the cleaning with a light blasting operation. Clean firing surfaces of center and side electrodes with several strokes of a fine file. When spark plugs have been thoroughly cleaned, carefully inspect for cracks or other defects which may not have been visible before cleaning. A d ju stin g S p a rk Plug Gap (Fig. 6 D -1 3 i) C lean in g Spark plugs which have carbon or oxide deposits should be cleaned in a blast type spark plug cleaner. Scraping with a pointed tool will not properly remove the deposits and may damage the insulator. If spark plugs have a wet or oily deposit dip them in a degreasing solvent and then dry thoroughly with dry compressed air. Oily plugs will cause the cleaning compound to pack in the shell. Carefully follow the Use round wire feeler gages to check the gap between spark plug electrodes of used plugs. Flat feeler gages will not give a correct measurement if the electrodes are worn. Adjust gap by bending the side electrodes only Adjust gaps to specifications. Setting spark plug gap to other than specification to effect changes in engine performance is not recommended. In s ta lla tion of S p a rk Plugs When installing spark plugs, make sure that all surfaces on plugs and in cylinder heads are clean. When installing the 5/8" hex tapered seat spark plugs, tighten to 15 lb. ft., using a 5/8" deep socket, an extension and a torque wrench. CAUTION: I f tapered seat spark plugs are over- tightened, there is a possibility they can crack and be w ore difficult to rem ove at the next tune-up.

However, both are synchronized and work in conjunction with each other through the action of the actuator rod assembly. For a complete explanation of the key and lock cylinder, and the actuator rod assembly, refer to the Steering section of this manual. The ignition switch is key operated through the actuator rod assembly to close the ignition primary circuit and to energize the starting m otor solenoid for cranking. The ignition switch used on all cars have five positions: OFF, LOCK, ACCESSORY, RU N and START. O F F is the center position of the key-lock cylinder, and LOCK is the next position to the left. ACCESSORY is located one more detent to the left of LOCK. Turning the key to the right of the O FF position until spring pressure is felt will put the ignition switch in the RU N position, and when turned fully to the right against spring pressure, the switch will be in the START position. In the RU N position, the ignition primary circuit is activated through a resistance wire. The ignition resistor wire is used in the ignition running circuit to reduce the voltage to the ignition coil. The resistor wire is bypassed when the engine is being started. The purpose of this is to compensate for the drop in voltage which occurs as the result of the heavy drain on the battery during starting, and to provide a hotter spark for starting. All ignition switches have five terminals which are connected in different combinations for each of the three operating positions. A brass plate, inside the switch, has three contacts which connect these terminals. Figure 12i shows the positions o f the contacts in all positions as viewed from the key side of the switch. There is also a ground pin in the switch which contacts the “ ground” terminal when the ignition switch is in the START position. This pin contacts the IGN. terminal when in the OFF position. Ignition S t a r t and Run C ircuit The ignition switch is fed from the battery to the BAT. terminal of the switch. When the ignition switch is in the OFF position, no current flows through the switch. When the ignition switch is turned to the ACC. position, the BAT. terminal is connected to the ACC. terminal. This permits operation of accessories when the engine is not running. When the ignition switch is turned to the START position, the BAT. terminal is connected to the SOL. and IGN. terminals. When the clutch or automatic transmission neutral start switches are closed, current flows to the starter solenoid. This energizes the solenoid windings. The solenoid has two sets of windings: a "pull-in" winding and a "hold-in" winding. Both windings are used to create the magnetic field to actuate the the solenoid plunger and move the starter pinion into engagement with the flywheel. As the solenoid plunger reaches the end of its travel, it closes a switch which connects battery voltage to the starter motor. With battery voltage applied to both terminals of the "pull-in" windings, the "pull-in" winding is no longer energized, so that only the "hold-in" winding keeps the starter solenoid engaged. NOTE: The instrument panel warning lights are fed from the ignition terminal of the ignition switch and have battery voltage applied to them when the ignition switch is in the STA RT and RU N position. These circuits are explained in the Chassis Electrical Section. When the ignition switch is released from the START to the RUN position, the IGN. terminal is still connected to the BAT. terminal, but the solenoid is no longer energized and so the feed for the coil from the IGN. terminal on the ignition switch, through the ignition resistor wire and to the coil, dropping the battery voltage at the coil to approximately nine volts. W ith the ignition switch in the RU N position, the BAT. terminal is connected to the IG N . terminal and the ACC. terminal. This permits operation of all accessories and the ignition system. 12 R 1 2 P P L /W 12 O R N IGN 3 BAT 1 BAT 2 BAT 3 GRD 1 -h IGN 1 GRD 2 ACC 12 P 2 4 B R N /W 12 B R N 2 0 DG IG N IT IO N (V IE W FROM S W IT C H T E R M IN A L P O S IT IO N S — S ID E OF S W IT C H ) IG N - 3 □ LO CK I L ig n -iJ P O S IT IO N IG N -3 G R D -2 RUN P O S IT IO N I ACCESSORY P O S IT IO N Fig. 6 D -14 i—Ig n itio n S w itc h C irc u it STARTER SYSTEM GENERAL DESCRIPTION The function of the starting system, composed of the starting motor, solenoid and battery, is to crank the engine. The battery supplies the electrical energy, the solenoid completes the circuit to the starting motor, and the motor then does the actual work of cranking the engine. The starting m otor (fig. 6D -ls) consists primarily of the drive mechanism, frame, arm ature, brushes, and field windings. The starting m otor is a pad mounted 12-volt extruded frame type, having four pole shoes and four fields, connected with the arm ature. The aluminum drive end housing is extended to enclose the entire shift lever and plunger mechanism, protecting them from dirt, splash, and icing. The drive end frame also includes a grease reservoir to provide improved lubrication of the drive end bearing. The flange m ounted solenoid switch operates the overrunning clutch drive by means of a linkage to the shaft lever. The starting system is made up of the cranking motor with its drive mechanism, the starter motor solenoid and the battery. These units are connected together and work as a team to crank the engine. The simplified diagram (Fig. 6D2s) shows the electrical components in a typical starting system. Although modern day applications use more circuitry and controls than shown in Figure 6D -ls, the function of the components is always the sam e-to convert electrical energy from the battery into mechanical energy at the starter m otor to crank the engine. STARTER M O TO R To understand the operating principles of a starter motor, think of a straight wire conductor located in the magnetic field of a horseshoe-shaped magnet. Current is flowing through the wire as shown in Figure 6D-3s. There will be two separate magnetic fields-the one produced by the SWITCH TERMINAL SOLENOID GROMMET PLUNGER RETURN SPRING \ O J S -— SHIFT LEVER BUSHING PINION STOP INSULATED BRUSH HOLDER BRUSH RISER BARS TO RISER BARS TO ARMATURE OVERRUNNING CLUTCH Fig. 6 D -1 s~ S ta rtin g M o to r Cross S e ctio n (T yp ica l) horseshoe magnet and the one produced by the current flow through the conductor. Since magnetic lines always leave a N orth pole and enter a South pole, the direction of the magnetic lines between the two poles of the horseshoe magnet will be upward as shown. The current-carrying conductor will produce a magnet field shown as circles around the wire. The net result is more magnetic lines on the left hand side of the wire than on the right (Fig. 6D-4s). W ith a strong field on one side of the conductor and a weak field on the other side, the conductor will move from the strong to the weak field, or from left to right. This magnetic force makes the cranking m otor operate. A basic motor is shown in Figure 6D-5s. A loop of wire is placed between two iron pole pieces and is connected to two separate com m utator bars. Riding on the commutator MAGNETIC FIELD CURRENT FLOW Fig. 6 D -5s~ B asic M o to r Fig. 6 D -3 s -M a g n e tic Field o f a H orseshoe M a g n e t bars are two brushes, which are connected to the battery and to the windings located over the pole pieces. Current flow can be traced from the battery through the pole piece windings, to a brush and com m utator bar, through the loop of wire to the other com m utator bar and brush, and then back to the battery. The magnetic fields create a turning or rotational effect in the same clockwire direction as shown in Figure 6D-6s. The basic m otor we have used in our illustrations has no practical value. It would produce very little torque to crank an engine. It has served, however, to show the fundam ental principles that operate a starter motor. In the simplest terms, the arm ature is rotated by a concentration of magentic lines on one side of the arm ature conductor and a lack of magnetic lines on the other side of the conductor. STRONG FIELD W E A K FIELD Construction A cross-sectional view o f a typical starter m otor with a solenoid is shown in figure 6D-ls. The starting m otor assembly is made up of field coils placed over pole pieces which are attached to the inside of a heavy iron frame, an arm ature, an overrunning clutch-type drive mechanism, and a solenoid. The iron frame and pole shoes not only provide a place for the field coils, but also provide a path for the magnetic lines produced by the field coil windings. A rm a tu re The arm ature assembly (Fig. 6D-7s), consists of a stack of iron laminations placed over a steel shaft, a com m utator assembly and the arm ature winding. The windings are heavy copper ribbon that are assembled into slots in the iron laminations. The winding ends are soldered or welded to the com m utator bars which are electrically insulated from each other and from the iron shaft. The arm ature is supported by bushings in the end frames. Brushes are supported on the field frame and ride on the com m utator bars. HOLD-IN W IN D IN G Fig. 6 D -7 s~ A rm a tu re A sse m b ly D riv e M e c h a n is m (NOT A PART OF SOLENOID) The starting m otor drive mechanism (Fig. 6D-8s) is a roll-type overrunning clutch that is assembled onto the armature shaft. Through this drive component power is transm itted from the armature to the engine during the starting cycle. The overrunning clutch drive contains a pinion which is made to move along the shaft by means of a shift lever to engage the engine ring gear for cranking. A gear reduction is provided between the pinion and ring gear to meet the cranking requirements of the engine. W ith this gear reduction, the m otor operates to crank the engine at speeds required for starting. The overrunning clutch drive has a shell and sleeve assembly which is splined internally to match the spiral splines on the arm ature shaft. The pinion is located inside the shell along with spring-loaded rollers that are wedged against the pinion and a taper inside the shell. The springs may be either a helical or accordion type. Four rolls are used. A collar and spring, located over the sleeve, are the other major clutch components. When the shift lever is operated by the solenoid, it moves the collar endwise along the shaft. The spring pushes the pinion into mesh with the ring gear. If a tooth abutment occurs, the spring compresses until the switch is closed, at which time the arm ature rotates and the tooth abutment is cleared. The compressed spring then pushes the pinion into mesh and cranking begins. Torque is transm itted from the shell to the pinion by the C L U T C H ----------PINIO N AND COLLAR ASSEMBLY BUSHINGS SHELL AND SLEEVE ASSEMBLY LOCK WIRE Fig. 6 D -9 s -S o le n o id Cross S ection rolls which are wedged tightly between the pinion and taper cut into the shell. When the engine starts, the ring gear drives the pinion faster than the arm ature and the rolls move away from the taper, allowing the pinion to overrun the shell. The start switch should be opened immediately when the engine starts to avoid prolonged overrun. When the shift lever is moved back by the return spring, the pinion moves out of mesh and the cranking cycle is completed. S O L E N O ID A sectional view of a typical solenoid is shown in Figure 6D-9s. It performs two functions in the starting system. First, it is used to provide a circuit of short length and low resistance between the battery and motor. Since the motor amy draw several hundred amperes during operation, heavy cables of short length are needed to reduce the voltage drop in the circuit. If a solenoid switch were not used and the high motor currents were carried directly through the start switch, cables of excessive size would be required to limit the voltage drop to an acceptable value. Since the start switch is usually some distance from the battery and solenoid switch, the long leads connected to the switch can be of reasonable size since they conduct only the small current drawn by the solenoid switch winding (Fig. 6D-10s). Second, when the start switch is closed, the solenoid moves the pinion into mesh, and the cranking cycle begins. When the start switch is opened, the cranking cycle ends. The neutral safety switch in this type of circuit is closed only when the transmission shift lever is in the proper position, thereby preventing cranking of the engine with the transmission in gear. The solenoid switch consists basically of two windings mounted around a hollow cylinder containing a moveable core or plunger (Fig. 6D-9s). A shift lever is connected to the plunger. When the push rod and contact disc is pushed into firm contact with the battery and motor terminals of the solenoid, with the m otor windings connected directly to the battery, cranking takes place. The two windings in the solenoid are called the hold-in winding and the pull-in winding (Fig. 6 D -lls). The hold-in winding contains many turns of fine wire and the pull-in winding the same num ber of turns of larger wire. When the start switch is closed, current flows from the battery to the solenoid (S) terminals, through the hold-in winding to ground, and then back to the battery. Current also flows through the solenoid (M) term inal and then through the m otor windings to the ground. The magnetism created by each winding adds together to form a strong magnetic field that attracts the plunger into the core. Plunger movement shifts the pinion into mesh with the ring gear and also moves the contact disc to close the circuit between the solenoid battery (B) and M otor (M) terminals. W ith the m otor windings connected directly to the battery through the contact disc, cranking takes place. The pull-in winding operates to assist the hold-in winding in pulling the plunger into the core. Once the plunger movement has been completed, much less magnetism is needed to hold the plunger in the cranking position. W ith the contact disc contacting the battery and m otor terminals of the solenoid, the pull-in winding is shorted and no current flows through it. This design feature reduces current draw on the battery and also reduces the am ount of heat created in the solenoid. W hen the start switch is opened, current flows for a very brief instant through the contact disc to the solenoid motor (M) terminal, through the pull-in winding in a reverse direction to the solenoid (S) terminal and then through the hold-in winding in a normal direction back to the battery. The magnetisms created by each winding oppose and cancel out each other and the return spring moves the entire shifting mechanism to the at-rest position, to complete the cranking cycle. Fig. 6 D -1 0 s ~ S ta rt S w itc h C irc u it (T yp ica l) NO C R A N K IN G A C T IO N DIAGNOSIS 1. Make sure that control lever is neutral (N) or park (P) position or that clutch pedal is depressed on manual transmission. 2. Make quick check of battery and cables. If battery is low, the solenoid usually will produce a clattering noise, ecause a nearly discharged battery will not sustain the 8ltage required to hold solenoid plunger in after solenoid switch as been closed. 3. If starter m otor spins and drive pinion engages ring gear but does not drive it, overrunning clutch is slipping. Remove m otor to replace drive assembly. 4. If starter m otor does not operate, note whether solenoid plunger is pulled into solenoid when solenoid curcuit is closed. Ordinarily the plunger makes a loud click when it is pulled in. If plunger is pulled in, solenoid circuit is okay and trouble is in solenoid switch, cranking m otor, or cranking m otor circuit. The starter m otor must be removed for repairs to switch or motor. 5. If plunger does not pull into solenoid when ignition switch is turned to "STA RT", the solenoid circuit is open, or solenoid is at fault. 6. To find reason why plunger does not pull into solenoid, connect jum per between solenoid battery terminal and terminal on solenoid switch to which purple wire is connected. If cranking m otor operates, solenoid is okay; trouble is in ignition switch, neutral start switch, or in wires and connections between these units. 7. If starter m otor still does not operate, remove motor for inspection and test of solenoid switch. C R A N K IN G SPEED A B N O R M A L L Y L O W Abnormally low cranking speed may be caused by low battery or defective cables, defective solenoid switch, defective cranking m otor, or an internal condition of engine. 1. M ake quick check of battery. If low battery is indicated, test battery. If defective cables are indicated, test cables. NOTE: Check generator belt tension for cause of low battery. 2. If battery and cables are okay, test cranking motor and solenoid switch. 3. If starter m otor and solenoid switch test okay, the trouble is due to an internal condition of engine. This may be due to use of engine oil which is too heavy for prevailing temperatures. V O L T A G E T E S T OF S T A R T IN G S Y S T E M A N D S O L E N O ID S W I T C H The voltage across the starter motor and switch while cranking the engine gives a good indication of any excessive resistance. NOTE: Engine m ust be at normal operating tem perature when test is made. 1. Inspect battery and cables to make certain that battery has ample capacity for cranking and ignition. 2. Connect jum per wire to distributor term inal of coil and to ground on engine, so that engine can be cranked without firing. 3. Connect voltmeter positive lead to the m otor terminal on solenoid switch; connect voltmeter negative lead to ground (Fig.6D-12s). 4. T urn ignition switch on, crank engine and take voltmeter reading as quickly as possible. If cranking motor turns engine at norm al cranking speed with voltmeter reading Fig. 6 D - 12 s -C ra n k in g V o lta g e T est C o n n e ction s 9 or more volts, the m otor and switch are satisfactory. If cranking speed is below norm al and voltmeter reading is 9 volts or greater, the cranking motor is defective. CAUTION: D o not operate starter m otor more than 30 seconds at a tim e without pausing to allow m otor to cool for at least two minutes; otherwise, overheating and damage to m otor m ay result. 5. If starter m otor turns engine at low rate of speed with voltmeter reading less than 9 volts, test solenoid switch contacts as follows: 6. With voltmeter switch turned to any scale above 12 volts, connect voltmeter negative lead to the motor terminal of solenoid switch, and connect positive lead to battery terminal of switch (Fig. 6D-13s). 7. Turn ignition switch on and crank engine. Immediately turn voltmeter switch to low scale and take reading as quickly as possible, then turn switch back to higher scale and stop engine. The voltmeter will read not more than 2/10 volt if switch contacts are satisfactory. If voltmeter reads more than 2/10 volt, switch should be repaired or replaced.

O N-VEH IC LE SERVICE M A IN T E N A N C E A N D A D J U S T M E N T S Lubrication No periodic lubrication of the starting m otor or solenoid is required. Since the starting m otor and brushes cannot be inspected w ithout disassembling the unit, no service is required on these units between overhaul periods. C O M P O N E N T PART REPLACEM ENT S T A R T IN G M O T O R R e p la c e m e n t The following procedure is a general guide for all vehicles and will vary slightly depending on series and model. 1. Disconnect battery ground cable at battery. 2. Raise vehicle to a good working height. 3. Disconnect all wires at solenoid terminals. NO TE: Reinstall the nuts as each wire is disconnected as thread size is different but may be mixed and stripped. 4. Loosen starter front bracket (nut on V-8 and bolt on L-4) then remove two m ount bolts. N O TE: On V-8 engines incorporating the solenoid heat shield, remove the front bracket upper bolt and detach bracket from starter motor. 5. Remove the front bracket bolt or nut and rotate bracket clear of work area then lower starter from vehicle by lowering front end first — (hold starter against bell housing and sort of roll end-over-end). 6. Reverse the removal procedure to install. Tighten the m ount bolts first, then tighten the brace bolt. 7. Check operation of starter on vehicle. C H E C K IN G P IN IO N C L E A R A N C E W henever the starter m otor is disassembled and reassembled, the pinion clearance should be checked. This is to make sure that proper clearance exists between the pinion and pinion stop retainer when pinion is in cranking position. Lack of clearance would prevent solenoid starter switch from closing properly; too much clearance would cause improper pinion engagement in ring gear. 1. Connect a source of approximately 6 volts (3 battery cells or a 6 volt battery) between the solenoid "S" terminal and ground. C A U TIO N : D o not use m ore than 6 volts or the m otor will operate. A s a further precaution to prevent motoring, connect a heavy ju m p e r wire from the solenoid m o to r terminal to ground. 2. A fter energizing the solenoid, push the pinion away from the stop retainer as far as possible and use feeler gauge to check clearance between pinion and retainer (Fig. 6D-15s). 3. If clearance is not between .010'' and . 140" it indicates excessive wear of solenoid linkage, shift lever mechanism, or improper assembly of these parts. NO TE: Pinion clearance cannot be adjusted. If clearance is not correct, m otor must be disassembled and checked for the above mentioned defects. Any defective parts m ust be replaced. B EN C H T E S T OF S T A R T IN G M O T O R To obtain full performance data on a cranking motor, or to determine the cause of abnormal operation, the motor should be removed from the engine and be submitted to a no-load test with equipment designed for such tests. A high current carrying variable resistance should be connected into the circuit so that the specified voltage at the starter motor may be obtained, since a small variation in the voltage will produce a marked difference in the current draw. (a) No-Load Test. Connect the starter motor in series with a 12 volt-battery and an ammeter capable of indicating several hundred amperes. If an RPM indicator is available, set it up to read arm ature RPM. Check current draw and arm ature RPM at the specified voltage. 1. Low no-load speed and high current draw may result from: (a) Tight, dirty, or worn bearings, bent arm ature shaft or loose field pole screws which would allow the arm ature to drag. (b) Shorted armature. Check arm ature further on growler. (c) A grounded arm ature or field. Check for grounds by raising the grounded brushes and insulating them from the com m utator. If the starter motor has shunt field coils which are grounded to the field frame, disconnect these fields from gound. Then check with a test lamp between the insulated terminal and the frame. If lamp lights, raise other brushes from com m utator and check fields separately to determine whether it is the fields or arm ature that is grounded: 2. Failure to operate with high current draw may result from: (a) A direct ground in the terminal or fields. (b) Frozen shaft bearings which prevent the arm ature from turning. 3. Failure to operate with no current draw may result from: (a) Open field circuit. Inspect internal connections and trace circuits with test lamp. (b) Open arm ature coils. Inspect the com m utator for badly burned bars. (c) Broken or weakened brush springs, worn brushes, high mica on the com m utator, or other causes which would prevent good contact between the brushes and commutator. Any of these conditions will cause burned com m utator bars. 4. Low no-load speed with low current draw indicates: (a) An open field winding. Raise and insulate ungrounded brushes from com m utator and check fields with test lamp. (b) High internal resistance due to poor connections, defective leads, dirty com m utator and causes listed under item 3 (c). 5. High no-load speed with high current draw indicates shorted fields. There is no easy way to detect shorted fields, since the field resistance is already low. If shorted fields are suspected, replace the fields and check for improvement in performance. UNIT REPAIR D IS A S S E M B L Y (Figs. 6 D -1 S and 6 D -1 6 S ) 1. Disconnect the field coil connector(s) from the motor solenoid terminal. 2. Remove through bolts. 3. Remove com m utator end frame, field frame assembly and arm ature assembly from drive housing. 4. Remove overrunning clutch from arm ature shaft as follows: a. Slide two piece thrust collar off end of arm ature shaft. b. Slide a standard half-inch pipe coupling or other metal cylinder of suitable size (an old pinion of suitable size can be used if available) onto shaft so end of coupling or cylinder butts against edge of retainer (fig. 6D-17S). Tap end of coupling with hammer, driving retainer towards arm ature end of snap ring. c. Remove snap ring from groove in shaft using pliers or other suitable tool. If the snap ring is too badly distorted during removal, it may be necessary to use a new one when reassembling clutch. d. Slide retainer and clutch from arm ature shaft. 5. Disassemble brush rigging from field frame. a. Release "V" spring from slot in brush holder support. b. Remove support pin. c. Lift brush holders, brushes and spring upward as a unit. d. Disconnect leads from each brush. e. Repeat operation for other set of brushes. C L E A N IN G A N D IN S P E C T IO N W ith the starting m otor completely disassembled except for removal of field coils, the component parts should be cleaned and inspected as described below. Field coils need be removed only where defects in the coils are indicated by the tests described in this section. 1. Clean all starting m otor parts, but do not use grease dissolving solvent for cleaning the overrunning clutch,arm ature, and field coils since such a solvent would dissolve the grease packed in the clutch mechanism and would damage arm ature and field coil insulation. 2. Test overrunning clutch action. The pinion should turn freely in the overrunning direction and must not slip in the cranking direction. Check pinion teeth to see that they have not been chipped, cracked, or excessively worn. Check the spring for norm al tension and drive collar for wear. If necessary, the spring or collar can be replaced by forcing the collar toward the clutch and removing lock ring from end of tube. 3. Check brush holders to see that they are not deformed or bent, but will properly hold brushes against the comm utator. 4. Check the condition of the brushes and if pitted or worn to one-half their original length, they should be replaced. 5. Check fit of arm ature shaft in bushing of drive housing. Shaft should fit snugly in the bushing. If the bushing is worn, it should be replaced. Apply a silicone lubricant to this bushing before reassembly. Avoid excessive lubrication. 6. Check fit of bushing in com m utator end frame. If this bushing is damaged or worn excessively, the end frame assembly must be replaced. Apply a silicone lubricant to this bushing before reassembly. Avoid excessive lubrication. Lubricant forced onto the com m utator would gum and cause poor commutation with a resulting decrease in cranking motor performance. Som e starter m otor models use a m olded armature com m utator design and no attem pt to undercut the insulation should be made or serious damage m ay result to the commutator. Undercutting reduces the bonding o f the molding material which holds the com m utator bars and since the m olding material is softer than the copper bars, it is n o t necessary to undercut the material between the bars o f the m olded commutator. 7. Inspect arm ature commutator. If com m utator is rough or out of round, it should be turned down and undercut. Inspect the points where the arm ature conductors join the com m utator bars to make sure that it is a good firm connection. A burned com m utator bar is usually evidence of a poor connection. See "Turning the Com m utator," described under Testing and Repairs. C A U TIO N : T E S T IN G A N D R E P A IR S Armature Test For Shorts Check the arm ature for short circuit by placing on growler and holding hack saw blade over arm ature core while arm ature is rotated (fig. 6D-18S). If saw blade vibrates, arm ature is shorted. Recheck after cleaning between the com m utator bars. If saw blade still vibrates, replace the armature. Armature Test For Ground Place one lead on the arm ature core or shaft and the other on the com m utator (fig. 6D-19S). If the lamp lights, the arm ature is grounded and must be replaced. Field Coil Test For Open Circuit Place one lead on the insulated brush and the other to the field connector bar (fig. 6D-20S). If the lamp does not light, the field coils are open and will require replacement. '3 a£L 10 IU 6 * 0 1c 3 12 11 0 14 4; 15 28 ♦ a % % f v 2 7 •S^ 1. D riv e H o u s in g 2 .

Place one lead on the connector bar and the other on the grounded brush (fig. 2 IS). If the lamp lights, the field coils are grounded. Field Coil Replacement Field coils may be removed from the field frame using a pole shoe screwdriver and a pole shoe spreader. The spreader prevents distortion of the field frame. Careful installation of field coils is necessary to prevent shorting or grounding of the field coils as the pole shoe screws are tightened in place. Formed insulators are used to protect the field leads from grounding to the frame and must be replaced with assembly. Loose Electrical Connections When an open soldered connection of the arm ature to com m utator leads is found during inspection, it may be resoldered provided resin flux is used for soldering. Acid flux should never be used on electrical connections. When inspection shows com m utator roughness, it should be cleaned as follows: CYLINDER Fig. 6D-19S-Armature Ground Test RETAINER 2. Undercut insulation between commutator bars 1/32". This undercut must be the full width of insulation and flat at the bottom; a triangular groove will not be satisfactory. After undercutting, the slots should be cleaned out carefully to remove any dirt and copper dust. Fig. 6D-1 7S-Driving Retainer Off Snap Ring 3. Sand and the com m utator lightly with No. 00 sandpaper to remove and slight burrs left from undercutting. 4. Recheck arm ature on growler for short circuits. Turning The Commutator Brush Holder Replacement 1. Turn down com m utator in a lathe until it is thoroughly cleaned. If brush holders are damaged, they can be replaced by special service units. C A U T IO N : Som e starter m o to r models use a m olded armature com m utator design and no Overrunning Clutch attem pt to undercut the insulation should be made or serious damage m ay result to the commutator. The overrunning clutch (roll clutch design) used in the Undercutting reduces the bonding o f the molding various starting motors is (fig. 6D-22S) designed to be material which holds the com- m utator bars and serviced as a complete unit. since the m olding material is softer than the copper bars, it is not necessary to undercut the material between the bars o f the m olded commutator.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF EMISSION CONTROL COMPONENTS C A R B U R ETO R C A LIB R A TIO N D IS TR IB U TO R C A LIB R A TIO N W hile the c a rb u re to r’s m ain function is to provide the engine with a com bustible a ir/fu e l m ixture, the carb u reto r calibration is critical to m ain tain in g p roper em ission levels. The distribu to r is an integral p a rt o f the engine ignition system and the distributor calibratio n is an im portant p a rt o f exhaust em ission control. The initial tim ing centrifugal advance and vacuum advance are calibrated to provide the best engine perform ance and fuel econom y at varying speeds and loads while rem aining w ithin exhaust em ission limits. D istributor diagnostics and service procedures are in Section 6D, Engine Electrical. T he c a rb u re to r’s idle, off-idle, m ain m etering, power enrichm ent, and accelerating pum p systems are cali­ brated to provide the best possible com bination o f engine perform ance, fuel econom y and exhaust em ission control. C a rb u reto r adjustm ents and service must be perform ed using the recom m ended procedures to insure engine exhaust em ission levels rem ain w ithin legislated limits. See Section 6C, Fuel System, for carb u reto r adjustm ent specifications and recom m ended service procedures. CATALYTIC CONVERTER T he catalytic converter on a light duty em ission vehicle is an em ission control device added to the exhaust system to reduce hydrocarbon and carbon m onoxide pollutants from the exhaust gas stream . The converter contains m aterial w hich %is coated w ith a catalytic m aterial co n tain in g p latin u m and palladium . EARLY FUEL E V A P O R A TIO N SYSTEM (EFE) N OTE: If an engine is idling too slow or rough, this m ay be caused by a clogged ventilator valve or plugged hose; therefore, never adjust the car­ buretor idle w ithout first checking the PCV valve and hose. A fter installing a new PCV valve, readjust engine idle if necessary. W ith this system, any blow-by in excess o f the system capacity (from a badly-w orn engine, sustained heavy load, etc.) is exhausted into the air cleaner and is draw n into the engine. D iagnosis and service procedures fo r the PCV system can be found in this section. Light Duty Emissions CHOKE SYSTEM The E FE system is used to provide a source o f rapid heat to the engine induction system d uring cold driveway. R apid h eatin g is desirable because it provides for quick fuel ev ap o ratio n and m ore u n ifo rm fuel d istribu tio n to aid cold driveability. It also reduces the length o f tim e ca rb u re to r choking is req u ired m aking reductions in exhaust em ission levels possible. E FE system s uses a valve w hich increases the exhaust gas flow u n d er the intake m an ifo ld durin g cold engine op eratio n . T he valve is vacuum o p erated and is controlled by a th erm al vacuum switch (TVS) which applies vacuum w hen the coolant tem perature is below the c alib ratio n valve. D iagnosis and service procedures o f the EFE system can be found in this section. An autom atic choke system, m aintains proper engine perform ance during engine w arm -up. M odifica­ tions to the choke system have been necessary in recent years to m eet the lower legislated exhaust em ission levels. T H E CATALYTIC CON VE R TE R REQUIRES THE USE OF UNLEADED FUEL ONLY. P eriodic m aintenance o f the exhaust system is not required; however, if the vehicle is raised for other service, it is advisable to check the general condition o f the underfloor catalytic converter, pipes and mufflers. R efer to Section 6F, E ngine E xhaust System, for catalytic converter service procedures and diagnostics. E X H A U S T GAS R E C IR C U LA TIO N SYSTEM (E G R ) Light Duty Emissions and 454-C alif. Heavy Duty Emission. The E xhaust G as R ecirculation System m eters exhaust gas into induction system fo r recirculation through the com bustion cycle to reduce oxides o f n itro g en em issions. The E G R valve rem ain s closed durin g periods o f engine idle and deceleration to prevent rough idle from excessive exhaust gas dilution in the idle a ir/fu e l m ixtures. All exhaust gas recirculation systems p erfo rm the sam e function, however, differences in o p eration o f system will be covered in the Service Procedure Section. D iagnosis and service procedure o f E G R system can be foun d in this section. CLOSED P O SITIV E CRA NKCASE V E N T IL A T IO N SYSTEM (P C V ) All engines have closed Positive Crankcase V entila­ tion System to provide m ore com plete scavenging o f crankcase vapors. An en g in e w hich is o p erated w ithout any crankcase ventilatio n can be dam aged seriously. T herefore, it is im p o rtan t to replace the ven tilato r valve periodically. T H E R M O S T A T IC AIR CLEANER (T A C ) The T herm ostatic A ir C leaner (TAC) is on all engines. The TAC uses a dam per assem bly in the air cleaner inlet, controlled by a vacuum m otor to mix p re­ heated and non pre-heated air entering the a ir cleaner to m a in ta in a co ntrolled a ir te m p e ra tu re into the carburetor. The vacuum m otor is m odulated by a tem perature sensor in the air cleaner. The p re-heating o f the air cleaner inlet air allows leaner carb u reto r and choke calibrations resulting in lower em ission levels, w hile m ain tain in g good driveability. D iagnostics and service procedures fo r the therm ostatic air cleaner can be found in this section. AIR IN JE C T IO N REACTOR SYSTEM An air injection reactor (AIR) is used on some engines to provide additional oxygen to continue the com bustion process after the exhaust gases leave the com bustion cham ber. An engine driven pu m p provides pressurized air which is injected into the exhaust port of the cylinder head o r exhaust pipe and then into the exhaust system. The AIR system operates at all tim es and will bypass air only for a short du ratio n o f tim e during deceleration and at high speeds. The diverter valve perform s the bypass function, and the check valve protects the air pum p from dam age by prev enting a back flow o f exhaust gas. D iagnosis and service procedures fo r a ir injection reactor system is in this section. V A C U U M CO NTRO LS V arious types o f vacuum controls are used in the em ission control system to m odify or control the operation o f the various em ission control com ponents to optim ize em ission control effectiveness, w hile m inim izing any negative effect on driveability.

T hey consider all o f the p arts o f the fuel, ignition, and m echanical systems that could cause a p articu lar com plaint, and then outline rep airs in a logical sequence. Each Sym ptom is defined, an d it is vital th at the correct one be selected based on the com plaints reported or found. Review the Sym ptom s and th e ir definition to be sure th at only the correct term s are used. The w ords used m ay not be w hat you are used to in all cases, but because these term s have been used in terch an g eab ly fo r so long, it w as necessary to decide on the m ost com m on usage and then define them . If the definition is not understood, an d the exact Sym ptom is not used, the D iagnostic procedure will not work. It is im p o rta n t to keep two facts in m ind: 1. T he procedures are w ritten to diagnose p ro b ­ lems on vehicles th a t have "ru n well at one tim e" and th at tim e and w ear have created the condition. 2. All possible causes cannot be covered, p a rtic u ­ larly w ith reg ard to em ission controls th at affect vacuum advance. If doing the w ork prescribed does not correct the com plaint, then eith er the w rong Sym ptom was used, or a m ore detailed analysis will have to be m ade. All o f the Sym ptom s can be caused by w orn out or defective parts such as Spark Plugs, Ignition W iring, etc. If tim e a n d /o r m ileage indicate th a t parts should be replaced, it is recom m ended th a t it be done. SYMPTOM DEFINITIONS Dieseling - E ngine continues to run a fte r the switch is turned off. It runs unevenly and may m ake knocking noises.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION EGR Valve The E G R valve (Fig. 6E-20) contains a vacuum d iaphragm , which is operated by intake m anifold vacuum . The diap h rag m vacuum signal supply p o rt is located in the throttle body above the throttle valve, and is exposed to engine m anifold vacuum in the off-idle and p art throttle to wide open throttle operation. A .030 in. orifice in the valve vacuum tube serves to m odulate flow. BACK PRESSURE EGR VALVE A back pressure E G R Valve (Fig. 6E-21) is used on test m ust m eet the all light duty em issions C alifornia and H igh A ltitude V8 and L6 engines. E G R d iap h rag m m ust move.

Vacuum builds up in the vacuum ch am b er until the spring force holding the E G R valve closed is overcome. TO IN TA K E m a n if o l d Vacuum is applied to the E G R valve assem bly from the carburetor spark port, to assure no exhaust gas recirculation at idle. D uring off-idle operation, m anifold vacuum is applied to the vacuum cham ber through a restriction in the signal tube. W hen engine load is light, and back pressure is low, the control valve is open, allow ing air to flow from the 6 bleeds in the diap h rag m plate, through the control valve orifice, into the vacuum cham ber. The air bleeds off vacuum , decreasing the signal trying to open the E G R valve. T herefore, if back pressure does not close the control valve, sealing off the a ir flow, there will not be any vacuum built up to open the E G R valve for exhaust gas recirculation. ' Fig. 6E-20-EGR Valve valve assem bly acts as a pressure regulator. The control valve receives an exhaust back pressure signal through the hollow sh a ft w hich exerts a force on the bottom o f the control valve d iap h rag m , opposed by a light spring. A m etal deflector plate prevents hot exhaust gases from flowing directly on the d iap h rag m . F IL T E R SCREEN CONTROL VA LVE OPEN SPRING Once the E G R valve opens, the exhaust pressure decreases because som e o f the exhaust gas is flowing into the intake m anifold through the E G R passage. In actual operation, the system will reach a balanced condition providing optim um E G R operation. A ny increase in engine load will m om entarily increase the exhaust signal, causing the control valve to VACUUM CHAMBER CONTROL V A LVE CLOSED RESTRICTION SPRING (CONTROL VALVE) T IM E D M AN IFO LD VACUUM TO VACUUM SOURCE AIR DIAPHRAGM FLOW IN D EFLEC TO R FIGURE 1 FIGURE 2 EXHAUST GAS TO INTAKE M ANIFOLD H I EXHAUST GAS EXHAUST GAS (IN) close, allow ing a stronger vacuum signal. The system will then stablize at a g reater E G R flow. At m axim um engine load, w hen m anifold vacuum is nearly zero, m o m entarily, there will be no E G R operation. This is because o f insufficient vacuum to pull the valve open, even though high exhaust back pressure has closed the control valve. Therm al Vacuum Switch A th erm al vacuum switch shuts off vacuum to the E G R valve until coolant tem p eratu re is approxim ately 100 °F (38 “C ) on L6 or 120 °F (49 -C) on V8. DIAGNOSIS R efer to D iagnosis C h art fo r diagnosis o f exhaust gas recirculation system. ON-VEHICLE SERVICE Functional T e st (on vehicle) ■ EGR Valve 1. W ith the engine ru n n in g , the vehicle in " P a rk " or "N e u tra l" , set the fast idle cam on second step to hold throttle open (approxim ately 1400 - 1600 RPM ). Engine coolant tem p eratu re m ust be above 120°F (4 9 'C). 2. Place finger b en eath E G R valve in a m an n er to feel m ovem ent o f d iap h rag m . 3. D isconnect the vacuum hose and w atch for m ovem ent o f the d iap h rag m dow nw ard (valve closed). T his should be accom panied by increase in engine speed. 4. R econnect the hose. D iap h rag m should move upw ard (valve open). E ngine R PM should decrease. N O T E : A slight v ib ratio n o f the d iap h rag m plate assem bly m ay be noticed in back pressure models. T his is due to the control valve m odulating under light load and does not indicate an undesirable condition n o r one req u irin g correction. Failure Diagnosis Diaphragm Doesn’t Move: 1. V erify engine speed. Should be approxim ately 1400 - 1600 RPM . 2. V erify tem p eratu re: should be above 120 °F (49 XI). 3. Check for vacuum at hose. If no vacuum present, find cause for no vacuum . (Plugged or leaking hose or ca rb u re to r port, defective E F E /E G R switch). 4. In back pressure m odels, check control valve operatio n . Diaphragm Moves With No Change In Engine RPM Check m anifold E G R passages for blockage. Function Test (off vehicle) Control Valve (Back Pressure EGR M odel O nly) 1. R em ove vacuum hose. 2.

A constant vacuum supply m ust be used. 4. Valve should not open. If it does, control valve is stuck closed. C lean the valve. (See E G R valve cleaning). 5. W ith the vacuum still applied, direct a stream o f air from a low pressure source into the valve exhaust gas intake. 6. Valve should open com pletely. If it does not open at all, control valve is stuck open or exhaust passages are plugged. Clean the valve (See E G R valve cleaning). 7. If E G R valve and control valve are both functioning properly, clean the m ounting surfaces, then using a new gasket, install the valve to the intake m anifold. Torque the bolts to 25 ft. lbs. (34 N m). 8. C onnect vacuum hose. EGR Valve Cleaning CAUTION: Do not wash valve assembly in solvents or degreaser - permanent damage to valve diaphragm may result. Also, sand blasting o f the valve is not recommended since this can affect the operation o f the valve. 1. Remove E G R valve and 2 attaching bolts, discarding the gasket. 2. Hold the valve assem bly in hand, then tap lightly on the sides and end o f the valve, and on the pintle itself using a small wood dowel, w ith a small plastic ham m er to rem ove the exhaust deposits from the valve seat.

POSITIVE CRANKCASE VENTILATION SYSTEM (PCV) GENERAL DESCRIPTION V entilation air is draw n through a filter assem bly located in the a ir cleaner, through a hose, down into the crankcase, up through the v entilator valve, through a hose an d into the intake m anifold. Intake m anifold vacuum draw s any fum es from the crankcase to be burned in the engine. W h en air flow through the carb u reto r is high, added air from the Positive C rankcase V entilation System has no noticeable effect on engine operation; however, at idle speed, air flow through the carb u reto r is so low th at any large am o u n t add ed by the ventilating system would upset the air-fuel m ixture, causing rough idle. For this reason, a flow control valve is used which restricts the ventilating system flow w henever intake m anifold vacuum is high. ON-VEHICLE SERVICE 1. Remove PCV valve from intake m anifold or rocker arm shaft cover. 2. Run the engine at idle. 3. Place your thum b over end o f valve to check for vacuum . If there is no vacuum at valve, check for plugged hoses or valve. Hoses may be cleared with com pressed air. 4. Shut off" the engine and rem ove PCV valve. Shake valve and listen for the rattle o f check needle in valve. If valve does not rattle, replace valve. THERMOSTATIC AIR CLEANER (TAC) IN S P E C T IO N Vacuum M o to r Check 1.

(Fig. 6E-24). If not, check to see if linkage is hooked up correctly and for a vacuum leak. 4. W ith vacuum applied, bend or clam p hose to tra p vacuum in d iap h rag m assem bly. D am p er door should rem ain in position (closed snorkel passage) (Fig. 6E-24). If it does not, there is a vacuum leak in d ia p h ra g m assem bly. Replace d iap h rag m assembly. Sensor Check (Quick Check of System ) 1. S tart test w ith engine cold, air cleaner at a tem p eratu re below 7 9 °F (26 "C.). If the engine has been in recent use. allow it to cool. (R em oving the air cleaner from the engine and placing it on the bench will aid in quickly cooling the sensor. 2. O bserve the d am p er door before starting the engine: it should be in the open snorkel position (Fig. 6E-24). 3. S tart the engine and allow it to idle. Im m edi­ ately after startin g the engine, the dam per door should be in the closed snorkel passage position (Fig. 6E-24). 4. As the engine warm s up, the d am p er door should start to allow outside air and heated air to enter the carburetor inlet. 5. The system is operating norm ally as described above. If the a ir cleaner fails to operate as above, or if correct operation o f the air cleaner is still in doubt, proceed to the therm om eter check (o f sensor). Th e rm o m eter Check of Sensor 1. S tart test with air cleaner tem perature below 79 °F. (2 6 ‘C.). If engine has been run recently, rem ove air cleaner and place on bench (this will help quickly cool the air cleaner). Rem ove air cleaner cover and place therm om eter as close as possible to the sensor. Let air cleaner cool until th erm om eter reads below 79 °F. ( 2 6 ^ .) about 5 to 10 m inutes. R einstall a ir cleaner on engine and continue to step 2 below. 2. Start and idle engine. D am p er door should move to close the snorkel passage im m ediately if engine is cool enough. W hen dam p er door starts to open the snorkel passage (in a few m inutes), rem ove a ir cleaner cover and read tem perature gage. It must read 115 °F. ± 20 F. (46 V . ± 7 C). 3. If the d am p er door does not start to open up the snorkel passage at tem perature indicated, tem perature sensor is m alfunctioning and must be replaced.

(27 N-m - THROTTLE RETURN CONTROL (TRC) GENERAL DESCRIPTION A throttle retu rn control system (TR C) is used on 10-30 Series Trucks in C alifo rn ia w ith heavy duty em issions systems. Also, 305 C.I.D. heavy duty em issions (except C alifo rn ia) vehicles use the TRC system. W hen the vehicle is coasting against the engine, the T R C valve will open at high m anifold vacuum levels to allow vacuum to operate the throttle lever actuator. The throttle lever actuator pushes the throttle lever slightly open, thus reducing hydro-carbon em issions during coast down. W hen m anifold vacuum drops below a p re ­ d eterm in ed level (TR C valve set point) the control valve closes, the throttle actuator retracts, and the throttle lever retu rn s to idle position. ON-VEHICLE SERVICE SYSTEM O P E R A TIO N T he T R C valve and actu ato r system should function to slightly o pen the throttle at high m anifold vacuum o v errun conditions (ab o u t 21-23 in. hg. [71 -78kPa] d ep en d in g on the p articu lar engine application) and retu rn to the curb idle position at lower m anifold vacuum s. F ailure to function in this m an n er indicates the T R C valve or actuator is m isadjusted, a vacuum leak exists, the valve vent is plugged or there is binding som ew here in the system. C heck hoses fo r cracking, abrasion, or deterioration and replace as necessary. Check system function for p ro p er o p eratio n and adjust as as necessary.

The delay valve in the m ode o f operation acts as a connector. G eneral Description T rap p ed vacuum spark (Figs. 6E-13 and 14) is on all 454 C ID engines w ith heavy duty emissions. A therm al vacuum switch (TVS) is m ounted in the cylinder head sensing engine coolant tem p eratu re and a delay valve is betw een m anifold vacuum , d istrib u to r and therm al vacuum switch. W hen engine tem p eratu re is below specified valve, the m an ifo ld vacuum signal is routed through the delay valve to the distrib u to r. Ports on TVS are blocked. The delay valve will keep the vacuum to the distributor at vacuum levels h igher th an m anifold depression during vehicle acceleration. A sm all sintered iron bleed is provided in the delay valve to allow for a leak-down to enable restarts in case o f engine stalls. W hen engine tem p eratu re is above specified valve, the ports on TVS will be open to allow m anifold vacuum SPARK C O N TR O L S W ITC H General Description Spark control switch (Figs. 6E-9 and 6E-11) system is used on some 350/400 CID engines w ith heavy duty em ission to help protect the engine during an over-heat mode. W hen coolant is at norm al op eratin g tem perature, ported vacuum is directed through a therm al vacuum switch (TVS) to the distrib u to r vacuum advance. W hen coolant is above norm al op eratin g tem p era­ ture, full vacuum is directed through the TVS to distributor vacuum advance. This advances the tim ing and allows the engine to run cooler. At this time, full vacuum is directed to the d istributor vacuum advance at idle. SECTION 6F ENGINE EXHAUST SYSTEM GENERAL DESCRIPTION F o r alig n m en t purposes, the muffler outlet flange is notched and m ates to a w elded tab located on the outside d ia m e te r o f the tailpipe. T he exhaust pipes and muffler use locater tabs for alignm ent. T he CIO w ith light duty em issions (except 454 V8) and GIO vehicles have an exhaust system with a catalytic converter betw een the fro n t exhaust pipe and the rear exhaust pipe. T he catalytic converter is an em ission control device ad ded to the exhaust system to reduce hydrocarbon and carbon m onoxide pollutants from the exhaust gas stream . The converter contains beads which are coated with a catalytic m aterial containing platinum and palladium . The catalytic converter requires the use o f unleaded fu e l only. Periodic m aintenance o f the exhaust system is not required; however, if the vehicle is raised fo r other service, it is advisable to check the general condition o f the catalytic converter, pipes and mufflers. CAU TION : When ja c kin g or lifting vehicle from fra m e side rails, be certain lift pads do not contact catalytic converter as dam age to converter will result.

ON-VEHICLE SERVICE G ENERAL Exhaust System Pipes and Resonators Rearward of the Mufflers Must Be Replaced Whenever A New Muffler Is Installed. N O T E : W hen a muffler is replaced use sealing com pound at the clam ped jo in t to prevent leaks. T ruck exhaust systems vary according to series and m odel designation. Series 10-30 trucks use a split-joint design system in w hich the exhaust pipe-to-m uffler are clam ped to g ether and m uffler-to-tailpipe connections are w elded together. All mufflers an d tailpipes are welded assem blies (no clam ps). N O T E : All 10-20-30 series exhaust systems are alum inized steel except: (1) " C " Series exhaust pipes and (2) stainless steel exhaust pipes on vehicles equipped with underfloor catalytic convert­ ers. Always use correct replacem ent parts w hen servicing these systems. W h en in stalling a new exhaust pipe or muffler and tailpipe, on any m odel, care should be taken to have the correct alig n m en t an d relatio n sh ip o f the com ponents to each other. P articu lar care should be given to the installation o f the exhaust pipe and crossover pipe assem b ly on V-8 en g in e single ex h aust system s. Incorrectly assem bled parts o f the exhaust system are freq u en tly the cause o f annoying noises and rattles due to im p ro p er clearances or obstructions to the norm al flow o f gases. Leave all clam p bolts and muffler bolts loose until all parts are p roperly aligned and then tighten, w orking from front to rear. E xhaust system hangers, h an g er brackets, and clam ps w hich are dam ag ed should be replaced to m ain tain p ro p er exhaust system alignm ent. N O TE: W hen reinstalling exhaust pipe to m an i­ fold, always use new packings and nuts. Be sure to clean m anil'old stud th read s with a w ire brush w hen in stalling the new nuts.

Four m ultiple-disc clutches, two roller clutches, and an interm ed iate overrun band provide the friction elem ents required to obtain the desired function o f the two p lan etary gear sets. T he 3-elem ent torque converter consists o f a pum p, tu rb in e and a stator assem bly. T he stator is m ounted on a one w ay roller clutch which will allow the stator to turn clockwise, but not counterclockwise. References to clockwise an d counterclockw ise are determ ined by looking tow ard rear o f vehicle. T he torque converter is o f welded construction and is serviced as a com plete assem bly. The unit is filled w ith oil a n d is attached to the engine cran k sh aft by a flywheel, thus always rotates at engine speed. The converter p u m p is an integral p art o f the converter housing, therefore, the pum p blades, ro tatin g at engine speed, set the oil w ithin the converter into m otion and direct it to the turbine, causing the turbine to rotate. As the oil passes throughout the turbine it is traveling in such a direction that if it were not redirected by the stator it would hit the rear o f the converter pum p blades and im pede its pum ping action. So at low turbine speeds, oil is redirected by the stator to the converter pum p in such a m an n er that it actually assists the converter pum p to deliver power, or m ultiply engine torque. As turbine speed increases, the direction of oil leaving the turbine changes and flows against the rear side o f the stator vanes in a clockwise direction. Since the stator is now im peding the smooth flow o f oil, its roller clutch releases and it revolves freely on its shaft. Once the stator becomes inactive, there is no fu rther m ultiplication o f engine torque w ithin the converter. At this point, the converter is merely acting as a I fluid coupling as both the converter p um p and turbine are being d riven at approxim ately the sam e speed. A hydraulic system pressurized by a g ear type pum p provides the w orking pressure required to operate the friction elem ents and autom atic controls. E xternal control connections to the transm ission are: • M a n u a l L in k ag e - To select the desired o p eratin g range. • E ngine V acuum - To operate the vacuum m odulator. • C able C ontrol - To operate the d eten t valve. A vacuum m odulator is used to autom atically sense any change in the torque input to the transm ission. The vacuum m odulator transm its this signal to the pressure regulator, w hich controls line pressure, so th at all torque requirem ents o f the transm ission are m et and smooth shifts are obtained at all throttle openings. The detent valve is activated by a cable th at is connected to the accelerator lever assembly. W hen the throttle is h alf open, the valve is actuated causing throttle dow nshift at speeds below 50 m ph. W hen the throttle is fully open the detent valve is actuated causing the transm ission to dow nshift from 3-1 at speeds below 40 m ph and 3-2 below 75 mph.

To bring the fluid level from the A D D mark to the F U L L mark requires one pint o f fluid. Fluid level should be checked at every engine oil change. Fluid level should be to the F U L L m ark with the transmission fluid at norm al operating tem perature (200° F). With w arm fluid (room tem perature 7 0 °F), the level will be 1/4 inch below the A D D mark on the dipstick. The norm al operating tem perature is obtained only after at least 15 miles of highway type driving or the equivalent o f city driving. A pproxim ately 8 pints o f fluid are required to refill transmission after oil p a n has been drained. The fluid capacity o f the CBC 350 transmission and converter assembly is approxim ately 21 1/2 pints but correct level is determ in ed by the mark on the dipstick rath er than by am o u n t added. Use only D EX R O N ® or D EX R O N ® II autom atic transmission fluid or its equivalent. N O T E: An early stage to a darker color from the usual red color a n d / o r a strong odor that is usually associated with overheated transmission fluid is normal, and is not a positive sign of required m aintenance or transmission failure. C h e c k in g P ro ce d u re and A d d in g Fluid To determ ine proper fluid level at norm al operating tem perature, proceed as follows: 1. Position vehicle on a level surface, place selector lever in park (P), apply park in g brake and have engine running at norm al idle. 2. Remove fluid level indicator, wipe it clean and reinstall fully until cap seats. (190°-200° F.) (88°-93° C.) 3. Remove indicator and reading o f fluid level should be at full “ F ” mark. 4. If additional fluid is required, add DEXRON® or D E X R O N ^ II automatic transmission fluid or its equivalent to “ F ” mark on indicator. If the vehicle cannot be driven sufficiently to bring the transmission to operating tem perature and it becomes necessary to check the fluid level, the transmission may be checked at room tem perature (70 degrees F) as follows: 1. Position selector lever in park (P), apply parking brake and start engine. D O N O T RACE E N G IN E . Move selector lever through each range. 2. Immediately check fluid level with selector lever in Park, engine running and vehicle on LEVEL surface. Fluid level on indicator should be 1/4 inch below the " A D D " mark. 3. If additional fluid is required, add enough fluid to bring level to 1/4 " below the A D D m ark on the dipstick. If transmission fluid level is correctly estab­ lished at 70 °F, it will appear at the F U L L mark on the dipstick when the transmission reaches its normal operating tem perature o f 200 T . C A U T IO N : D O N O T O V E R F IL L , as foam ing and loss o f flu id through the vent pipe might occur as flu id heats up. If fluid is too low, especially when cold, complete loss o f drive m ay result which can cause transm is­ sion failure. D ra in in g and R e fillin g T ran sm issio n The oil pan should be drained and the strainer cleaned at the intervals detailed in section O-B o f this m anual, and fresh fluid added to o btain the proper level on indicator. Section O-B also details intervals for vehicles subjected to heavy city traffic during hot weather, or in commercial use, or when the engine is regularly idled for prolonged periods or when vehicle is used for towing. D rain fluid im mediately after operation before it has had an opportunity to cool. W A R N IN G : T ran sm issio n can exceed 3 5 0 F. WARM NOTE: DO NOT OVERFILL.

CAUTION: A n y inaccuracies in the above adjustments may result in premature failure o f the transmission due to operation without controls in f u ll detent. Such operation results in reduced oil pressure and in turn partial engagement o f the affected clutches.

Poor engine perform ance can result in rough shifting or other malfunctions. FLUID CHECK IN G PROCEDURES Refer to M aintenance and Adjustment Section for fluid checking procedures. FLUID LEAK DIA G N O S IS Determ ining Source of Oil Leak Before attem pting to correct an oil leak, the source o f the leak must be determined. In m any the source of the leak can be deceiving due to flow" around the engine and transmission. The suspected area should be wiped clean o f before inspecting for the source o f the leak. actual cases, "wind all oil The use o f a "Black Light" to locate the point at which the oil is leaking is helpful. C om paring the oil from the leak to that on the engine or transmission dipstick, w hen viewed by black light, will determ ine the source of the leak - engine or transmission. Oil leaks around the engine and transmission are generally carried toward the rear of the vehicle by air stream. For example, a transmission oil filler tube to case leak will sometimes appear as a leak at the rear o f the transmission. In determ ining the source of a leak, proceed as follows: 1. Degrease underside of transmission. 2. R oad test to get unit at operating temperature. 3. Inspect for leak with engine running. 4. With engine off, check for oil leaks due to the raised oil level caused by d rain back. Possible Points of Oil Leak 1. Transm ission Oil Pan Leak. Attaching bolts not correctly torqued. Improperly installed or dam aged pan gasket. Oil pan gasket m ounting face not flat. 2. Extension Housing. a. Attaching bolts not correctly torqued. b.

OIL PRESSURE CHECK While vehicle is stationary (service brake on), engine speed set to 1200 rrnp, transmission oil pressure gauge attached as shown in Fig. 7A-10B, and vacuum m odulator tube d is co n n ec ted the transmission line pressure tap should read 167 psi in drive, 166 psi in LI or L2. and 254 psi in reverse. While vehicle is stationary (service brake on), engine speed set to m aintain 12 inches hg. absolute m anifold pressure, transmission oil pressure gauge attached, and vacuum m odulator tube c o n n e c te d the transmission line pressure tap should read 85 psi in drive, 105 psi in LI or L2, and 129 psi in reverse. CASE PO RO SITY REPAIR Fxternal oil leaks caused by case porosity can be successfully repaired with the transmission in the vehicle by using the following recom m ended procedures: 1. Road test and bring the transmission to operating temperature, approximately 180 degrees F. 2. Raise vehicle on a hoist or jack stand, engine running, and locate source of oil leak. Check for oil leaks in Low. Drive, and Reverse. 3. Shut engine off and thoroughly clean area to be repaired with a suitable cleaning solvent and a brush air dry. A clean, dry soldering acid brush can be used to clean the area and also to apply the epoxy cement. 4. Using instructions o f the m anufacturer, mix a sufficient am ount o f epoxy to make the repair. Make certain the area to be repaired is fully covered. 5. Allow cement to cure for 3 hours before starting engine. 6. Road test and check for leaks. V A C U U M M O D U LA TO R DIA G N O S IS A defective vacuum modulator can cause one or more of the following complaints. 1. Harsh upshifts and downshifts. 2. Delayed upshifts. 3. Soft upshifts and downshifts. 4. Slips in low, drive and reverse. 5. Transmission overheating. 6. Engine burning transmission oil. If any one of the above complaints are encountered, the modulator must be checked. Vacuum Diaphragm Leak Check Insert a pipe cleaner into the vacuum connector pipe as far as possible and check for the presence of transmission oil. If oil is found, replace the modulator. Gasoline or w ater vapor may settle in the vacuum side of the modulator. If this is found without the a. Install the modulator that is known to be acceptable on either end o f the tool. b. Install the modulator in question on the opposite end o f the tool. c. Holding the modulators in a horizontal position, bring them together under pressure until either m odulator sleeve just touches the tool. The indicator in the gage will show white if the m odulator is acceptable. A non-conforming m odulator will cause the indicator to shift, thus showing blue. If white does not appear, the modulator in question should be replaced. Sleeve A lignm ent Check Roll the m ain body of the modulator on a flat surface and observe the sleeve for concentricity to the cam. If the sleeve is concentric and the plunger is free, the modulator is acceptable. Once the modulator assembly passes all of the above tests, it is an acceptable part and m ay be re-used.

M A N U A L LINKAGE Manual linkage adjustment and the associated neutral safety switch are im portant from a safety standpoint. The neutral safety switch should be adjusted so that the engine will start in the Park and Neutral positions only. With the selector lever in the Park position, the parking pawl should freely engage and prevent the vehicle from rolling. The pointer on the indicator q uadran t should line up properly with the range indicators in all ranges. ROAD TEST Drive Range Position selector lever in DRIVE R A N G E and accelerate the vehicle from 0 MPH. A 1-2 and 2-3 shift should occur at all throttle openings. (The shift points will vary with the throttle opening). As the vehicle decreases in speed to 0 MPH, the 3-2 and 2-1 shifts should occur. Low L2 Range Position the selector lever in L2 R A N G E and accelerate the vehicle from 0 MPH. A 1-2 shift should occur at all throttle openings. (No. 2-3 shift can be obtained in this range). The 1-2 shift point will vary with throttle opening. As the vehicle decreases in speed to 0 MPH, a 2-1 shift should occur. The 1-2 shift in IN T E R M E D IA T E R A N G E is somewhat firmer than in DRIVE R A NG E. This is normal. Low L I Range Position the selector lever in L I R A N G E and accelerate the vehicle from 0 MPH. No upshift should occur in this range. 2N D Gear — Overrun Braking: (L2) Position the selector lever in DRIVE RA N G E, and with the vehicle speed at approximately 35 MPH, move the selector lever to L2 R A N G E . The transmission should downshift to 2nd. An increase in engine RPM and an engine braking effect should be noticed. Line pressure should change from approximately 100 PSI to approximately 125 PSI in 2nd. 1ST Gear — Overrun Braking: ( L I ) Position the selector lever in L2 R A N G E at approxim ately 30 to 50 MPH, with throttle closed, move the selector lever to LI. A 2-1 downshift should occur in the speed range o f approximately 45 to 30 MPH, depending on axle ratio and valve body calibration. The 2-1 downshift at closed throttle will be accompanied by increased engine RPM and an engine braking effect should be noticed. Line pressure should be approx­ imately 150 PS1. Stop vehicle. R everse Range: (R) Position the selector lever in REVERSE POSITION and check for reverse operation.

Three multiple-disc clutches, one gear unit, one roller clutch, and two bands provide the friction elements required to obtain the desired function o f the compound planetary gear set. The torque converter couples the engine to the planetary gears through oil and provides hydraulic torque multiplication when required. The compound planetary gear set produces three forward speeds and reverse. The 3-element torque converter consists o f a pum p or driving m em ber, a turbine or driven member, and a stator assembly. The stator is mounted on a one-way roller clutch which will allow the stator to turn clockwise but not counter-clockwise. The torque converter housing is filled with oil and is attached to the engine cran ksh aft by a flex plate and always rotates at engine speed. The converter pum p is an integral part o f the converter housing, therefore the pum p blades, rotating at engine speed, set the oil within the converter into motion and direct it to the turbine, causing the turbine to rotate. As the oil passes through the turbine it is traveling in such a direction that if it were not re-directed by the stator it would hit the rear o f the converter pump blades and impede its pum ping action. So at low turbine speeds, the oil is re-directed by the stator to the converter pum p in such a m an n e r that it actually assists the converter p u m p to deliver power or multiply engine torque. As turbine speed increases, the direction of the oil leaving the turbine changes and flows against the rear side o f the stator vanes in a clockwise direction. Since the stator is now im peding the smooth flow o f oil, its roller clutch releases and it revolves freely on its shaft. Once the stator becomes inactive, there is no further multiplication of engine torque within the converter. At this point, the converter is merely acting as a fluid coupling as both the converter pum p and turbine are being driven at approximately the same speed - or at one-to-one ratio. A hydraulic system pressurized by a gear type pum p provides the working pressure required to operate the friction elements and automatic controls. External control connections to transmission are: Manual Linkage - To select the desired operating range. Engine Vacuum - To operate a vacuum m odulator unit. 12 Volt Electrical - To operate an electrical detent solenoid. A vacuum m odulator is used to automatically sense any change in the torque input to the transmission. The vacuum m odulator transmits this signal to the pressure regulator for line pressure control, to the 1-2 accumulator valve, and to the shift valves so that all torque requirements of the transmission are met and smooth shifts are obtained at all throttle openings. The detent solenoid is activated by an electric switch on the carburetor. W hen the throttle is fully opened, the switch on the carburetor is closed, activating the detent solenoid and causing the transmission to downshift for passing speeds. The selector q u a d ra n t has six selector positions: P. R, N, D, L2, LI. P. PARK position positively locks the output shaft to the transmission case by means o f a locking pawl to prevent the vehicle from rolling in either direction (not on CL model). The engine may be started in Park position. R. REVERSE enables the vehicle to be operated in a reverse direction. Fig. 7A-1C--THM 400, Cross-Section View N . N eutral postion enables the engine started and ru n without driving the vehicle. to be D. DRIVE Range is used for all norm al driving conditions and m axim um economy. Drive R ange has three gear ratios, from the starting ratio to direct drive. D etent downshifts are available by depressing the accelerator to the floor. L2. L2 Range has the same starting ration as Drive Range, but prevents the transmission from shifting ration w hen extra perform ance is desired. L2 Range can also be used for engine braking. L2 Range can be selected at any vehicle speed, a n d the transmission will shift to second gear and rem ain in second until the vehicle speed or the throttle are changed to obtain first gear operation in the same m a n n e r as in D Range. LI. LI Range can be selected at any vehicle speed, and the transmission will shift to second gear and rem ain in second until vehicle is reduced to approx­ imately 40 MPH, depending on axle ratio. LI Range position prevents the transmission from shifting out of first gear. NOTE: It is very im portant that any com m unica­ tion concerning the T HM 400 always contain the transm isio n serial and vehicle identification number. MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENTS C H E C K IN G T R A N S M IS S IO N M O U N T Raise the vehicle on a hoist. Push up and pull down on the transmission extension while observing the transmission mount. If the ru b b e r separates from the metal plate o f the m ount o r if the extension moves up but not down (m ount bottomed out), replace the mount. If there is relative movement between a metal plate o f the m ount a n d its attaching point, tighten the screws or nuts attaching crossmember. the mount to the transmission or T R A N S M IS S IO N FLUID Fluid Level and C a p a city The fluid level indicator is located in the filler tube at the right rear o f the engine. To bring the fluid level COOL — ■HOT (65°-85° F.) (1 9 0 -2 0 0 F.) (88°-93° C.) (18°-29°C.) L J r^ i L r _Ji WARM NOTE: DO NOT OVERFILL. IT TAKES ONLY ONE PINT TO RAISE LEVEL FROM ADD TO FULL WITH A HOT TRANSMISSION. Fig. 7A 2C D ipstick M arkings from the A D D mark to the F U L L mark requires one pint o f fluid. Fluid level should be checked at every engine oil change. Fluid level should be to the F U L L mark with the transmission fluid at normal operating temperature (180° F). W ith w arm fluid (room tem perature 70 F), the level will be 3 /8 inch below the A D D mark on the dipstick. The no rm al o perating tem perature is obtained only after at least 15 miles of highway type driving or the equivalent o f city driving. A pproxim ately 9 pints o f fluid are required to refill transmission after oil pan has been drained. The fluid capacity of the THM 400 transmission and converter assembly is approxim ately 22 pints but correct level is determ ined by mark on the dipstick rather than by am ou nt added. Use only D E X R O N * or DEXRONC? II autom atic transmission fluid or its equivalent. N O T E : An early stage to a darker color from the usual red color a n d / o r a strong odor that is usually associated with overheated transmission fluid is norm al, and is not a positive sign of required m ain tenan ce or transmission failure. C h e c k in g P ro ce d u re and A d d in g Fluid To determ ine proper fluid level at norm al operating tem perature (180 T 7). proceed as follows: 1. Position vehicle on a level surface, place selector lever in park (P), apply parking brake and have engine run ning at norm al idle. 2. Remove fluid level indicator, wipe it clean and reinstall fully until cap seats. 3. Remove indicator and reading of fluid level should be at full “ F ” mark. 4. If additional fluid is required, add D E X R O N or D E X R O N * II automatic transmission fluid or its equivalent to “ F ” mark on indicator. If the vehicle cannot be driven sufficiently to bring the transmission to operating tem perature and it becomes necessary to check the fluid level, the transmission may be checked at room temperature (70 degrees F) as follows: 1. Position selector lever in park (P), apply parking brake and start engine. DO N O T RACE E N G IN E . Move selector lever through each range. 2. Immediately check fluid level with selector lever in Park, engine running and vehicle on LEVEL surface. Fluid level on indicator should be 3 /8 inch below the " A D D " mark. 3. If additional fluid is required, add enough fluid to bring level to 3 /8 inch below the A D D m ark on the dipstick. If transmission fluid level is correctly estab­ lished at 70 F, it will ap pear at the F U L L m ark on the dipstick when the transmission reaches its normal operating tem perature of 180°F. C A U T IO N : D O N O T O V E R F I L L , as foaming and loss o f fluid through the vent pipe might occur as fluid heats up. If fluid is too low. especially when cold, complete loss of drive m ay result which can cause transmis­ sion failure. D ra in in g and R e fillin g T ran sm issio n The oil pan should be drained and filter replaced and fresh fluid added to obtain the proper level on indicator, at the intervals detailed in section O-B of this manual. For vehicles subjected to heavy city traffic during hot weather, or in commercial use, when the engine is regularly idled for prolonged periods or when vehicle is used for towing, oil pan should be drained and filter replaced more frequently. See section O-B. Drain fluid immediately after operation before it has had an opportunity to cool. W A R N IN G : T ran sm issio n can exceed 3 5 0 F. fluid te m p e ra tu re 1.

See Section 3B for alignment of steering column assembly if necessary. 2. To check for proper shift linkage adjustment, lift the transmission selector lever towards the steering wheel. Allow the selector lever to be positioned in drive (D) by the transmission detent. N O TE : Do not use indicator pointer as a reference to position the selector lever. W hen perform ing linkage adjustment, pointer is adjusted last. 3. Release the selector lever. The lever should be inhibited from engaging low range unless the lever is lifted. 4. Lift the selector lever towards the steering wheel and allow the lever to be positioned in neutral (N) by the transmission detent. 5. Release the selector lever. The lever should now be inhibited from engaging reverse range unless the lever is lifted. 6. A properly adjusted linkage will prevent the selector from moving beyond both the neutral detent, and the drive detent unless the lever is lifted to pass over the mechanical stop in the steering column. 7. If adjustm ent is required, remove screw (A) and spring washer from swivel (B )8. Set transmission lever (C) in Neutral position by moving lever counter-clockwise to LI detent and then clockwise three (3) detent positions to Neutral. 9. Position transmission selector lever in Neutral position as determined by the mechanical stop in steering column assembly. NOTE: Do not use the indicator pointer as a reference to position the selector lever. When perform ing linkage adjustment, pointer is adjusted last. 10. Assemble swivel, spring washer and screw to lever assembly (D) and tighten screw to 20 pound feet. 11. Readjust indicator needle if necessary to agree with the transmission detent positions. See Section 3B. 12. Readjust neutral start switch if necessary to provide the correct relationship to the transmission detent positions. See Section 8. 13. Check operation (CK Series): a.

FLUID LEAK DIA G N O S IS D e te rm in in g Source o f Oil Leak Before attem pting to correct an oil leak, the actual source of the leak must be determined. In m any cases, the source o f the leak can be deceiving due to "wind flow" around the engine and transmission. The suspected area should be wiped clean of all oil before inspecting for the source o f the leak. Red dye is used in the transmission oil at the assembly plant and will indicate if the oil leak is from the transmission.

Therefore, it is necessary, before p erform ing any m ajor clutch operations, to make prelim inary inspections to determ ine w hether trouble is actually in the clutch. Check the clutch linkage to be sure the clutch releases fully as follows: 1. With engine running, hold the clutch pedal approxim ately 1 /2 " from floor mat and move shift lever between first and reverse several times. If this can be done smoothly, the clutch is fully releasing. If shift is not smooth, clutch is not fully releasing and adjustment is necessary. 2. Check clutch pedal bushings for sticking or excessive wear. 3. Check fork for p rop er installation on ball stud. Lack o f lubrication on fork can cause fork to be pulled off the ball. 4. Check for bent, cracked or dam aged cross shaft levers or support bracket. 5. Loose or dam aged engine mounts may allow the engine to shift its position causing a bind on clutch linkage at the cross shaft. Check to be sure there is some clearance between cross shaft, both m ount brackets, and ball studs. 6. Check throw out bearing end clearance between spring fingers and front bearing retainer on the transmission. If no clearance exists, fork may be im properly installed on ball stud or clutch disc may be worn out. CLUTCH FREE PEDAL TRAVEL ADJU STM EN T Only one adjustment is necessary to compensate for all no rm al clutch wear. The clutch pedal should have free travel (measured at clutch pedal pad) before the throwout bearing engages the clutch d iaph ragm spring or levers. Lash is required to prevent clutch slippage which would occur if the bearing was held against the fingers or to prevent the bearing from running continually. A clutch that has been slipping prior to free play adjustm ent m ay still slip right after the new adjustm ent due to previous heat damage. C, K and P Models (E xcept P30 W /J 7 6 ) 1. Disconnect return spring at clutch fork. 2. Rotate clutch lever an d shaft assembly until clutch pedal is firmly against ru bb er bum per on brake pedal bracket. 3. Push outer end o f clutch fork rearward until throwout bearin g lightly contacts pressure plate fingers or levers. 4. Loosen lock nut an d adjust rod length so that swivel slips freely into gauge hole. Increase pushrod length until all lash is removed from system. 5. Remove swivel from gauge hole and insert into lower hole on lever. Install two washers and cotter pin. Tighten lock nut being careful not to change rod length. 6. Reinstall return spring and check pedal free travel. Pedal travel should be 1 3 / 8 " to 1 5 / 8 " on "C -K " models and 1 1/4" to 1 1/2 " on "P " models. P-30 Models W /J 7 6 (Fig. 7 C -1 0) 1. Disconnect clutch fork return spring. 2. Loosen nut " G " at swivel. 3. Move the clutch fork rod against fork to eliminate all clearance between throwout bearing and clutch fingers. 4. Rotate shaft lever until clutch pedal contacts the bum per mounted on the brake pedal bracket. 5. Rotate the fork rod until a clearance of approximately 1/4" to 5 /1 6 " (.29) is obtained between the shoulder on the fork rod and the adjustm ent nut. 6. Tighten nut " G " against swivel and install clutch return spring. 7. Check free pedal clearance at pedal. Pedal clearance should be 1 3 / 8 " to 1 5 /8 " . Readjust as required. CROSS SHAFT LEVER Fig. 7C-1 1 -G -Truck F r e e P e d a l T ru ck G-Models (Fig. 7 C -1 1) 1. Disconnect clutch fork return spring at fork. 2. Loosen nut " A " and back off from swivel approxim ately 1/2 inch. 3. Hold clutch fork push rod against fork to move throwout bearing against clutch fingers (push rod will slide through swivel at cross-shaft). 4. Adjust nut "B " to obtain approximately 1/4" clearance between nut "B " and swivel. 5. Release push rod. connect return spring and tighten nut " A " to lock swivel against nut "B". 6. Check free pedal clearance at pedal (l 1/4" to 1 1/2" is proper clearance). Readjust if necessary. IN S U F F IC IE N T CLUTCH RELEASE W here complaints of first or reverse gear clash due to insufficient clutch release are encountered, the following may be helpful. Cut off the existing clutch pedal stop bum per to a height of 3 /8 " . Since shortening the bum per increases the lash and not the usable stroke, the lash must be reduced to specifications in order to gain the additional stroke benefit.

A bulkhead fuse panel (fig. 8-1) provides convenient power taps and fuse clips for the appropriate circuits. The engine wiring harness and forward lam p harness connectors are bolted to the fuse panel. All wiring systems not protected by a fuse or circuit breaker incorporate a fusible link which provides increased overload protection. The starting motor circuit is the exception. Composite wiring diagram s are available in a separate manual. The standardized color code is common to all wiring harnesses. The wire covering color designates a particular circuit usage.

Loose or corroded connections m ay cause a discharged battery, difficult starting, dim lights, and possible d am age to the generator. W ire harnesses must be replaced if insulation becomes burned, cracked, or deteriorated. W henever it is necessary to splice a wire or repair one that is broken, always use solder to bond the splice. Always use rosin flux solder on electrical connections. Use insulating tape to cover all splices or bare wires. W h en replacing wires, it is im portant that the correct size be used. N ever replace a wire with one o f a smaller size. Fusible links in the wiring are four gauge sizes smaller than the cable it is designed to protect. The links are marked on the insulation with wire gauge size because o f the heavy insulation which makes the link a p p e a r a heavier gauge than it actually is. Each harness and wire must be held securely in place by clips or other holding devices to prevent chafing or w earing away the insulation due to vibration. By referrin g to the wiring diag ram manual, circuits m ay be tested for continuous circuit or shorts with a conventional test lamp or low reading voltmeter. whenever a sealed beam unit is replaced and after repairs o f the front end sheet metal assembly. Regardless of the method used for checking h eadlam p aim, the truck must be at norm al weight, that is with gas, oil, w ater and spare tire. Tires must be inflated to specified pressures. Some states have special requirem ents for h eadlam p aiming adjustment and these requirem ents must be known and followed. Horizontal and vertical aiming o f each sealed beam is proveded by two adjusting screws visible through the bezel which move the m ounting ring against the tension o f the coil spring (fig. 8-2). There is no adjustm ent for focus since the sealed beam unit is set for focus during m anufacturing assembly.

DIRECTIONAL SIGNAL SWITCH The directional signal switch is a self-contained unit which incorporates the hazard w arning switch and the lane changing signal. The hazard w arning circuit is activated by a push-pull switch which is loacated on the right side of the steering column, opposite the directional signal lever. The switch knob must be pulled to cancel circuit. The lane changing circuit is activated by holding the directional signal lever in the first detent position; there is no lock in or cancelling device in this position. See Section 3B "Steering" for all servicing procedures. W INDSHIELD WIPER AND WASHER C-K-G MODELS GENERAL DESCRIPTION The wiper motor assembly consists o f com pound externally to the gar shaft, operates the linkage which w ound 12 volt D.C. motor, gear reduction mechanism activates the blades. an d parking switch enclosed in a common die cast The wiper motor is equipped with an internal circuit housing. T he arm ature has a w orm shaft which drives a gear and shaft assembly. A crank arm which is attached breaker mounted on the motor brush plate which protects the motor from overheating. A L IG N IN G PIN PARK SWITCH (CONTACTS OPENED BY CAM) Fig. 8-16--Washer M echanism M ounting on Wiper Figure 8-16 shows the assembly o f the washer pum p to the wiper motor. ELECTRICAL C IR C U IT S T he following facts should be kept in m ind throughout the following explanation. 1. The wiper dash switch is a grounding type switch, and therefore must be securely mounted. 2. W hen installed in a vehicle, the wiper motor is connected to the chassis through a ground strap. This in effect connects the wiper housing to the ground side of the battery. 3. The ignition switch opens and closes the feed wire circuit to the wiper. Therefore, it must be turned O N to operate wipers. The wiper motor operation is controlled by two switches—a dash control switch and a parking switch located in the w iper motor gear box. The park in g switch contacts are normally closed and are opened by a cam on the gear when the wiper blades reach the park position. The park switch acts as a holding switch to m aintain the motor circuits to ground during that period o f operation between the time the operato r turns the wiper off at the dash switch and the blades reach the park position. Figure 8-17 shows the park switch contact open. " L o " Speed Operation Fig. 8 1 7 - Gear in PARK Position—Contacts Open 2. The series' field-armature circuit is completed via wiper terminal No. 1 through the wiring harness to the dash switch to ground. " H I" Speed Operation Turning the wiper dash switch to the " H I " or fast speed position changes the shunt field coil circuit as follows: (Refer to Figure 8-19). With the dash switch in the HI speed position, the shunt field coil current passes through a 20 ohm resistor on the back o f the wiper terminal board to terminal No. 1 and then via the wiring harness to the dash switch to ground. The arm atu re and series field circuit is also completed via the wiring harness from wiper terminal No. 1 to the dash switch to ground. Turning the W iper "O F F " Turning the w iper dash switch to the O F F position opens the wiper circuits to ground at the dash switch. If, however, the wiper blades are in any position other than the normal park or off position, the wiper motor circuits are completed to ground by the w iper motor park switch as follows: (Refer to Figure 8-20). 1. The series field-armature circuit is completed to ground via the park in g switch to the wiper housing to chassis o f vehicle. 2. The shunt field coil circuit is completed to ground via wiper terminal No. 3 through the wiring harness to the dash wiring harness to wiper terminal No. 1, through the parking switch to ground. W h e n the o perator turns the w iper dash switch to the " L O ” speed position, the wiper motor circuits are completed to ground at the dash switch as follows: (R efer to Figure 8-18). C urrent flows from the battery through the ignition switch to the center terminal of the wiper term inal board. From the center terminal, current then passes through the black with pink stripe lead to the series field coils (Larger d iam eter wire) where it divides and flows as follows: 1. The shunt field coils to wiper terminal No. 3 through the wiring harness to the dash switch to ground. IM P O R T A N T : Note that the shunt field circuit during the parking operation bypasses the resistor causing the w iper to operate in LO Speed. Failure of the wiper to operate in LO Speed during parking results in the wiper failing to shut oft'. With the wiper motor circuits completed to ground via the parking switch, the w iper motor continues to operate until the w iper gear cam opens the park switch contact (Figure 8-17) stopping the wiper. See Figure 8-21 for W iper O F F Circuit. Pulse type wipers use the same wiper motor as regular wipers but are controlled by an external mounted control unit.

The gear train consists o f a motor arm ature helical gearshaft which drives an interm ediate gear and pinion assembly. The pinion gear o f the interm ediate gear and pinion drives an output gear and shaft assembly. T u rning the w iper switch to the LO speed position completes the circuits from the wiper terminals 1 and 3 to ground. C u rren t then flows from the battery via wiper terminal No. 2 through the series field and divides; (1) part passes through the arm ature to ground via wiper terminal No. 1 to the wiper switch and (2) the second part passes through the shunt field to ground through wiper terminal No. 3 to the wiper switch (fig. 8-37). NOTE: The wiper switch must be securely grounded to body metal. Moving the wiper switch to the HI speed position opens the shunt field circuit to ground at the switch.

The shunt field current then flows via terminal No. 3 through the resistor to terminal No. 1 to the switch, to groun d (fig. 8-38). The parking circuit covers that portion o f wiper operation when the w iper switch is turned "off" and the w iper blades have not reached the park position. W hen the w iper blades are not in the normal park position, the parking switch contacts are still closed. The w iper will continue to operate until the wiper output gear is turned to a position where its cam opens the park switch. R eferring to Figure 8-39, it can be seen that the w iper motor circuits are completed to ground through the parking switch. N O TE : The w iper m otor grounded to body metal. must be securely The shunt field circuit is completed from terminal No. 3 via the switch to terminal No. 1 through the parking switch to ground. The series field and arm ature circuit is also completed from terminal No. 1 through the parking switch to ground. NOTE: The shunt field is connected direct to ground, by-passing the resistor. This results in LO speed operation during the parking operation. W hen the output gear cam opens the park switch contacts, the wiper is OFF.

Such protection is provided by either a circuit breaker, fuse or fusible link. Each o f these protective devices are explained below. C IR C U IT BREAKER (Fig. 8-53) A circuit breaker is a protective device designed to open the circuit w hen a current load is in excess o f rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the circuit, the excess current willl open the circuit breaker and cause it to cycle if it automatically resets, thus, indicating there is something wrong in the system. The circuit breaker will continue to cycle until the trouble is found and corrected. Excessive cycling of the breaker will eventually dam age the breaker contacts to the point that replacement o f the breaker is necessary. FUSE (Fig. 8-53) A common method o f protection is to use a fuse in the circuit. W henever there is an excessive current through the circuit, the fusible element will melt and open the circuit. The disadvantage o f using a fuse F U SIB L E L IN K BEFORE SHORT C IR C U I T CUT WIRE HERE FU S IB L E LIN K AFTER SHORT C IR C U I T F ig . 8 -5 4--Fusible L in k Fig . 8 5 3 Fuse an d C i r c u it B r e a k e r instead o f a circuit breaker is the fuse in a one-time protection and replacem ent is required. FUSIBLE LIN K (FIG . 8 -5 4) In addition to circuit breakers and fuses, the wiring harness incorporates fusible links to protect the wiring. Links are used rather than a fuse in wiring circuits that are not normally fused, such as the ignition circuit. w iring fusible links are color coded red in the charging and load circuits to m atch color coding o f the circuit they protect. Each link is four gauge sizes smaller than the cable it is designed to protect and are marked on the insulation with wire gauge size because the heavy insulation makes the link ap p e a r a heavier gauge than it actually is. E ngine co m p artm ent wiring harnesses incorporate several fusible links. The same size wire with special hypalon insulation must be used when replacing a fusible link. The links are: 1. A molded splice at the starter solenoid “ Bat” terminal, 14 gauge red wire. Servicing requires splicing in a new link. 2. A 16 gauge red fusible link is located at junction block to protect all unfused wiring of 12 gauge or larger. The link is molded into the bulkhead connector. 3. The generator w arn in g light and field circuitry (16 gauge wire) is protected by a fusible link (20 gauge red wire) used in the “ battery feed to voltage regulator # 3 term inal” . The link is installed as a molded splice in the circuit at the junction block. Service by splicing in a new 20 gauge wire. DIA G N O SIS Failures in a circuit are usually caused by short or open circuits. Open circuits are usually caused by breaks in the wiring, faulty connections or mechanical failure in a component such as a switch or curcuit breaker. Short circuits are usually caused by wires from different components of the circuit contacting one anothe or by a wire or component grounding to the metal o f the body due to a screw driven through the wires, insulation cut through by a sharp metal edge, etc. The following inform ation m ay aid in locating and correcting a fuilure in the body wiring electrical system. 1. If a major portion o f the electrical circuit becomes inoperative simultaneously, the failure may be due to im proper connections between the front and rear harness, or between the front harness and the chassis wiring connector on top o f fuse block. 2. If only one of the circuits is inoperative, the failure is due to and open circuit or short in the affected circuit. Short circuits usually result in blown fuses or in the case o f power equipm ent circuits, in the circuit breaker opening the circuit. If the fuse is not blown and the circuit affected is a lamp circuit, check the bulb before proceeding with any checking procedures. 3. The dome lam p and courtesy lamp circuits are designed so that the switches are in the " g ro u n d " side o f the circuit. If a condition is encountered where the lamps rem ain " o n " even though the ja m b or courtesy lamp switches are not actuated, the failure is probably due to defective switches, or to the wire leading to the switches being grounded to the metal body.

SEAT BELT W A R N IN G SYSTEM All C-K type light duty trucks have a non-sequential timer controlled seat belt w arning system. This system has an instrum ent panel w arning light that will illuminate every time the ignition switch is turned on, w hether or not the d riv e r’s seat belt is buckled, but will automatically go off after 4-8 seconds. The buzzer is also controlled by the 4-8 second timer, but will operate only if the driver has not buckled-up prior to turning on the ignition. If no attempt is m ade to buckle-up after turning on the ignition, the buzzer will also shut-off autom ati­ cally after 4-8 seconds. A trouble shooting diagnostic chart and wiring schematic are shown in Figures 8-57 and 8-58.

The servo moves the throttle, when speed adjustm ent is necessary, by receiving a varying am ount o f controlled vacuum from the regulator unit. The speedom eter cable (from the transmission) drives the regulator, and a cable (from the regulator) drives the instrum ent panel speedometer. The engagem ent of the regulator unit is controlled by an engagem ent switch located at the end o f the turn signal lever. Two brake release switches are prov id ed: an electric switch disengages the regulator unit and a vacuum valve decreases the vacuum in the servo unit to quickly return the throttle to idle position. T he purpose of the Cruise M aster system is to allow the driver to m ain tain a constant highway speed without the necessity o f continually applying foot pressure to the accelerator pedal. Speed changes are easily made and override features allow the vehicle to be stopped, slowed or accelerated as desired. Engaging th e Cruise System T he driver accelerates to the desired cruise speed and partially depresses and releases the cruise control engagem ent switch button located at the end of the directional signal lever. The cruise system takes over speed control, and within engine limitation, m aintains this speed regardless o f changes in terrain. The Engagem ent functions: Switch button perform s these 1. Above 30 mph, when partially depressed and released, it engages the cruise system. 2. W hen depressed disengages the system. fully and held there, it 3. W hen released slowly from the fully depressed position, it will engage the system at the existing speed and cruise at that speed (above 30 mph). NOTE: See Fig. 9-1C "E ngage Switch O peration". Speed Changes Override-The accelerator pedal may be depressed at any time to override the cruise system. Release o f the accelerator pedal will return the vehicle to the previous cruise speed. To Cruise At A Higher Speed-Depress the accelera­ tor pedal to reach the new desired speed. Then, fully depress and slowly release the cruise control engagem ent switch button. The system re-engages at the higher speed when the button is slowly released. To Cruise At A Lower Speed-Disengage the system by depressing the engagem ent switch button fully and holding it there until the vehicle has decelerated to the new desired speed; then release the button slowly. The TH E C R U ISE CO NTRO L ENGAGE SWITCH A S S E M B L IE S , BOTH TU R N S IG N A L & IN S T R U M E N T PANEL M O U N T E D TYPES, INCORPORATE THREE POSITION SWITCHES.

The Cruise Brake Release Valve, which is mounted on the brake pedal bracket, disengages the system pneum atically when the brake pedal is depressed. 6. The Cable and Casing Assemblies drive the regulator and speedometer. TO S P E E D O M E T E R 1. The E ngagem ent Switch, which is located at the end o f the directional signal lever, is used to control the system a n d for up w ard and dow nw ard speed adjustments. 2. The Regulator (fig. 9-2C) is m ounted in the speedom eter cable line. It is a com bination speed sensing device and control unit. W h en engaged, it senses vehicle speed and positions the Servo Unit to m aintain the selected speed. 3. The Servo Unit is mounted on the left front in n e r fender and is connected by a cable to the throttle linkage. It opens or closes the throttle as dictated by the Regulator. 4. The Cruise Brake Release Switch, which is mounted on the brake pedal bracket, disengages the system electrically when the brake pedal is depressed.

U nplug connector at switch. b. C on nect o h m m e te r across cruise m aster contacts on brake switch. The ohm m eter must indicate no continuity when the pedal is depressed and continuity w hen pedal is released. The cruise release brake switch (electric) is adjusted as is the stand ard stop light brake switch. c. Replace electric brake switch if needed. 3. Check clutch release switch (m anual transm is­ sion only) same as electric release switch above. E ngagem ent Sw itch Test Check eng agem en t switch and connecting wiring as follows: Unplug engagem ent switch connector (brown, blue, black) at electrical wiring harness connector then p erform the following tests (fig. 9-3C). T e s t # 1—Connect oh m m e te r between terminal # 1 (brown wire) and te r m i n a l # 2 (blue wire). Continuity shall be m aintained until switch is depressed all the way T e s t # 2 —Connect o hm m e ter between te r m i n a l # 1 (brow n wire) a n d t e r m i n a l # 3 (black wire). N o continuity shall be shown; however, w hen the button is partially depressed, continuity shall be indicated. W hen the button is pressed all the way down, no continuity shall be shown. T e s t # 3 —Connect oh m m eter between t e r m in a l # 2 (blue wire) and te r m i n a l # 3 (black wire). Button released, no continuity; however, when the button is depressed partially and fully, continuity shall be shown. Harness Test (Fig. 9-3C) 1. Disconnect engage switch wire harness connec­ tor from the m ain harness connector (red, brown/white, and white wires). 2. Connect ohm m e te r between point C (brow n/ white stripe wire in m ain wire harness) and ground. Make sure the Regulator is well grounded to the chassis. The oh m m e te r should read between 42 and 49 ohms. If a resistance either above or below the value indicated is shown, then disconnect the connector from the Regulator and measure the resistance of the brow n/w hite stripe wire from point C to D. It should measure 40 ohms ± 2 ohms. 3. If a resistance either above or below the value indicated is shown, the m ain wiring harness should be replaced. NOTE: W hen disconnecting or reconnecting the main wiring harness connector from the Regulator, care should be exercised so as not to d am age the blade connectors or the wiring harness. The disconnect may be facilitated by prying carefully on the plastic connector with a small screwdriver. 4. M easuring the solenoid coil circuit resistance between point E (Hold Term inal) and ground, the ideal resistance should be between 5 and 6 ohms. A reading o f less than 4 ohms indicates shorting in the coil circuit. A reading of more than 7 ohms indicates excessive resistance in the coil circuit. Either extremity indicates replacement o f the Regulator assembly. The m ain harness wiring from point F to G (white wire) should also be checked for continuity. SERVO A N D V A C U U M SYSTEM TEST To determ ine the condition o f the d iaphragm , remove hose from the Servo U nit and apply 14 inches of vacuum to the tube opening and hold in for one minute. The vacuum shall not leak down more than 5 inches o f vacuum in one minute. If leakage is detected, replace the Servo. To utilize engine as a vacuum source, proceed as follows: 1. Disconnect Servo cable at carburetor and vacuum hose from the Servo, then connect engine vacuum directly to the Servo fitting. 2. Note position o f Servo diaphragm . 3. Start e n g in e - th e diaph rag m should pull in. 4. Clamp off engine vacuum supply line and check for leakage. The cruise release brake valve (vacuum) and connecting hoses can likewise be checked using a vacuum pump. 9-4 BRO W N E N G A G E M E N T S W IT C H (S H O W N IN " H IS T ” P O S IT IO N ) C R U ISE R ELEA SE V A L V E BLA C K BRO W N - C R U IS E BR A K E TO B R A K E LICHT CIRCUIT BRAKE B LACK R ELEA SE & LIG H T S W IT C H C O N N E C T O R AT ST E E R IN G C O L U M N B R O W N - W H IT E R E S IS T A N C E W IR E 40 n PE DAL Fig. 9-3C-Electro-Pneumatic REST P O S IT IO N TRUCK SPEED R E G U L A T O R IG N IT IO N SW IT C H FU SE DIRECTIO N OF R O T A T IO N , CLUTCH S P R IN G ' B O W D E N C A B L E TO C A R B U R E T O R L IN K A G E I SERVICE W IT H SPEED IN C R EA S E HO LD CLUTCH E N G A G E P O S IT IO N MANUAL Schematic V A R IA B L E O R IF IC E (A IR C O N T R O L V A LV E ) FIX EO O R IFIC E LO CK IN CAM L O W SPEED I SW ITC H '( N A ) B ELO W 1 35M PH ) VACUUM SHUT OFF V A L V E SERVO POWER U N IT TRIM D O W N S O L E N O ID COIL (C O R E S H O W N IN D E - E N ER G IZ ED P O S IT IO N ) JQ TO M A N IF O L D VACUUM V O LT S DC E L E C T R O -P N E U M A T IC S C H E M A T IC D IA G R A M , C R UISE MASTER SYSTEM L LIGHT E N G A G E M E N T SW IT C H P O S IT IO N S P O S IT IO N CRUISE MASTER TROUBLESHOOTING CHECK I FOR SYSTEMS W ITH E R R A TIC CRUISE PERFORMANCE CHECK II FOR IN O P E R A TIV E SYSTEMS M A K E A L L TESTS WITH TRANSM ISSION SELECTOR IN " P A R K " & P AR K IN G BRAKE ON EXCEPT WHERE IN D IC A T E D OTHERWISE.

CHECK n O N -V E H IC L E SERVICE M A IN T E N A N C E AN D ADJUSTMENTS T he com ponents of the Cruise-Master System are designed to be replaced should they become inoperative. The Regulator is cali- brated in such a m a n n e r during m a nu facturin g that overhaul operations are impractical. However, one adjustm ent m ay be m ade to the Regulator to correct speed drop or increase at the time o f engagem ent. R E G ULATO R (FIG . 9-6C ) O ne regulator adjustm ent is possible - Engagement Cruising Speed Zeroing (to remove any difference between engagem ent and cruising speed). N o regulator adjustm ent should be made, however, until the Servo Cable adjustm ent has been checked and vacuum hoses are checked for leaks, kinks, or other restrictions. If the vehicle cruises at a speed a few mph above or below the en gagem en t speed, this error can be corrected with a simple adjustm ent o f the orifice tube in the regulator (fig. 9-2C). CAUTION: Never remove orifice tube from casting. It cannot be reinstalled once it has been removed. 1. To check cruise speed error, engage CruiseM aster at 55 mph. 2. If vehicle cruises below engagem ent speed, screw orifice tube outw ard 3. If vehicle cruises above engagem ent speed. screw orifice tube inward NO TE: Each 1/4 turn o f the orifice tube will change cruise speed approximately one mph. Snugup lock nut after each adjustment. If a Regulator is found to be defective and not simply out-of-adjustment, it must be replaced. D uring replacement, check the hoses which connect to the Regulator and replace any which are cracked or deteriorated. SERVO U N IT (FIG . 9-7C ) Before adjusting the Servo Cable, make sure the carburetor is set at its lowest idle throttle position by manually setting the fast idle cam at its lowest step with the ignition switch " O F F " . Adjust the cable so there is as little lost motion at the Servo as possible (Fig. 9-7C). If the Servo Unit is found to be defective, replacement is required. N ote the condition o f the hoses and replace any which are cracked or deteriorated. BRAKE RELEASE SW ITC H ES (Fig. 9-8C ) Electric The Cruise M aster brake release switch electrical contacts must be switched open when the brake pedal is depressed .38" to .64", measured at the brake pedal. An inoperative switch must be replaced. Switch replacement procedure is similar to standard brake lamp switch replacement. Vacuum The vacuum valve plunger must clear the pedal arm w hen the arm is moved 5/16 inch, measured at the switch (fig. 9-9C). An inoperative (sticking, plugged, or leaking) vacuum valve must be replaced. V acuum valve replacement is sim ilar to brake lam p switch replacement. Be certain that the hose to the valve is connected firmly and is not cracked or deteriorated.

To positively identify antenna failure and eliminate the possibility of unnecessary windshield replacement, W indshield A n ­ tenna Tester J-23520 should be used to determine continuity of the thin a n ten na wire. W hen a n tenn a failure is suspected, the following checks should be made before replacing the windshield. 1. Check Tester J-23520 for operation on any vehicle radio a n ten na that is operating normally to test for a weak or dead battery. 2. Check all a ntenna connectings to insure that an ten na is electrically coupled to the radio. 3. Turn ignition switch to accessory position, turn radio " O N " , select AM band if receiver is A M / F M and tune radio to an ofF station position. 4.
