Air Injection Reactor System: Description
The Air Injection Reactor (AIR) system is used to reduce HC and CO by injecting air into the exhaust ports to continue burning of exhaust gases.
All 4-cyl., 6-cyl. and V8 engine systems includes a belt-driven air pump, specially-designed cylinder head(s), diverter valve with silencer assembly and necessary connecting tubes.
V6 engine (231" Calif. & High Alt.) systems use a specially-designed internal plumbing in the intake manifold which eliminates some of the external passages and tubing. This system also injects air at the 4 outside exhaust ports, rather than at all exhaust ports. This system consists of the belt-driven air pump, special cylinder heads, check valve, vacuum differential valve, air by-pass (diverter) valve and differential delay valve and separator valve assembly.
