| Abstract |
The exhaust emission characteristics of a 1967 Ford Falcon, extensively modified with the LaForce system, was evaluated using the 1975 test procedure to determine if the latest configuration could approach emission levels required for 1975 and 1976. The LaForce system consisted of numerous modifications. The production carburetor had been replaced by an extensively modified Holley two barrel. To further reduce hydrocarbon emissions the accelerator pump cam was modified to reduce the pump shot to the minimum the engine required. The carburetor's float bowl had overflow ports on each side to drain fuel back to the tank on cornering. The exhaust manifold had been insulated and modifications had been made to provide for increased spark advance during start up. Test results are summarized and tabulated. The modifications made to the vehicle enabled a previously uncontrolled car to meet emission levels required by the 1972 Federal exhaust emission standards. The emission levels were far above the 1975 and 1976 requirements and the system was too complicated to be considered as a retrofit package for uncontrolled vehicles. |
