DATSUN 1970-72 240Z Engine Modification: Description
NOTE:
Air Injection is also used with this system.
Engine modification system consists of a vacuum control valve which detects intake manifold vacuum. Valve operates a servo diaphragm which controls the carburetor throttle valve. System is activated during periods of deceleration. An altitude compensation device is contained in system. This device compensates for variations in altitude so that valve can function properly at any altitude. Automatic transmission cars also utilize a dual point distributor which provides for both advanced and retarded spark timing under various conditions.
NOTE:
Depending on altitude (atmospheric pressure), vacuum required to operate the control valve will vary. To determine proper setting of vacuum required for operation, it is necessary to know the altitude or atmospheric pressure when valve is adjusted.
