Exhaust Emissions System - Air Injection System: Description

NOTE: For 1974-78 models, see AIR INJECTION SYSTEMS article in this section.

The air injection system reduces exhaust emissions by burning the hydrocarbon (HC) and carbon monoxide (CO) concentrations in the exhaust ports of the cylinder head. System consists of a belt-driven air pump, anti-afterburn valve, air by-pass valve assembly, air by-pass solenoid valve, check valve, vacuum switch, delay valve, choke switch, and various connecting tubes and hoses.
