Adjustment- Adjust the bead chain so that it is as tight

as possible without holding the throttle open when the

carburetor is set at its lowest idle throttle position.

When connecting the bead chain (engine stopped) manually

set the fast idle cam at its lowest step and connect the

chain so that it does not hold the idle screw off the cam.

If the chain needs to be cut, cut it three beads beyond the

bead which pulls the linkage.

REGULATOR

Service - A defective regulator, that is one which is not

simply out of adjustment, must be replaced. During re-

placement, check the hoses which connect to the regulator

and replace any which are cracked or deteriorated.

Air Filter

The air filter located in the solenoid cover should be

cleaned and re-oiled at engine oil change intervals.

1.
Snap the solenoid cover off.

2.
Remove the filter and wash it in kerosene or mineral

spirits. Squeeze it dry and wet with SAE 10 engine

oil.
Squeeze out excess oil and reinstall into the

cover.

3.
Attach the cover with neoprene seal to the solenoid

housing. Be certain that the cover fits tightly to the

housing.

One regulator adjustment is possible: Engagement-

Cruising Speed Zeroing (to remove any difference be-

tween engagement and cruising speed).

NOTE:
No regulator adjustment should be

made, however, until the following items have

been checked or serviced:

1.
Bead chain properly adjusted.

2.
All hoses in good condition, properly attached, not

leaking, not pinched or kinked.

3.
Regulator air filter clean and properly oiled.

4.
Electric and vacuum release switches properly

adjusted.

Engagement—Cruising Speed Zeroing

If the cruising speed is lower than the engagement

speed, loosen the orifice tube locknut and turn the tube

outward; if higher, turn the tube inward. Each 1/8 turn

will alter the engagement-cruising speed difference one

mph. Tighten the locknut after adjustment and check the

system operation at 50 mph.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM CHECK OUT

1.
Check fuse and connector.

2.
Check electric brake switch as follows: Unplug con-

nector at brake switch. Connect ohmmeter at points

A and B on brake switch. The ohmmeter must indi-

cate infinity when the brake pedal is depressed and

continuity when pedal is released. The cruise re-

lease brake switch (electric) is adjusted as is the

standard stop light brake switch. Replace electric

brake switch if needed.

3.
Check engagement switch and connecting wiring as
follows: Unplug push button control connector

(brown, blue, black) at electrical wiring harness con-

nector and perform the following tests. (See Fig-

ure 10)

Test #1
—
Connect ohmmeter between terminal #1 (brown

wire) and terminal #2 (blue wire). Continuity shall be

maintained until switch is depressed all the way in.

Test #2
—
Connect ohmmeter between terminal #1 (brown

wire) and terminal #3 (black). No continuity shall be

shown; however, when the button is depressed halfway,

continuity shall be indicated. When the button is pressed

all the way down, no continuity shall be shown.

Test #3 — Connect ohmmeter between terminal #2 (blue

wire) and terminal #3 (black). Button released, no con-

tinuity; however, when the button is depressed partially

and fully, continuity shall be shown.

4.
Check regulator solenoid coil, low-speed switch, and

wiring harness as follows:

a. Disconnect engagement switch wire harness con-

nector from the main wire harness connector

(brown, blue, and black wires). Connect ohm-

meter
'
between point C (blue wire in main wire

harness) and ground. (Make sure the regulator is

well grounded to chassis.) The ohmmeter should

read 45 ohms ± 2 ohms. If a resistance of

greater value is shown, then disconnect the con-

nector from the regulator and measure the re-

sistance of the blue wire from point C to D. It

should measure 40 ohms. Check the resistance

from point E (vertical bar of terminal forming T)

to ground. It should measure 5 ohms ± 1/4 ohm.

Replace either the wiring harness or solenoid as

needed if greater values are indicated. The black

harness wiring from point F to G should also be

checked for continuity.

SERVO AND VACUUM SYSTEM CHECK OUT

To determine the condition of the diaphragm, remove

hoses from power unit and apply 14 inches of vacuum to

either vacuum tube opening (seal the other opening) and

hold in for one minute. The vacuum shall not leak down

more than 5 inches of vacuum in one minute. If leakage

is detected, replace servo. To utilize engine as a vac-

uum source, proceed as follows:

1.
DISCONNECT SERVO $EAD CHAIN and hoses from

servo and connect engine vacuum directly to vacuum

servo fitting (fitting in middle of servo). Seal the

servo unit opening.

2.
Note position of servo diaphragm.

3.
Start engine - the diaphragm should pull in.

4.
Clamp off engine vacuum supply line and check for

leakage. '

The cruise release brake switch (vacuum) and connecting

hoses can likewise be checked using a vacuum pump.

CHEVROLET CHASSIS SERVICE MANUAL

ACCESSORIES 15-14

Deflate system through service valve and disconnect

line at pressure regulator valve. Install test gauge on

regulator valve high pressure fitting.

Inflate system through service valve to maximum

available pressure.

NOTE: If available pressure is less than 140

psi,
start engine to build-up reservoir to this

pressure.

Regulated pressure should build-up to and hold

steady at 100-130 psi on test gauge.

Check regulated pressure by momentarily (not more

than one second) depressing valve core on test gauge

arid observe gauge reading.

If regulated pressure now reads less than 100 psi,

replace regulator assembly.

If regulated pressure exceeds 130 psi, replace regu-

lator assembly.

Control Valve Test

Exhaust (Superlifts Inflated)

1.
Disconnect control valve lever from link.

2.
Hold lever down in exhaust position until Superlifts

deflate or for a minimum of 18 seconds.

3.
If Superlifts deflate, perform Intake Check.

4.
If Superlifts do not deflate, remove exhaust adapter

from control valve and hold lever down as in Step 2.

Replace adapter, O-ring and filter if this deflates

Superlifts.

5.
Replace control valve if none of the above steps solve

problem.

Intake (Reservoir Pressure 125 psi Minimum)

1.
Disconnect overtravel lever from link.

2.
Hold lever up in intake position until Superlifts in-

flate or for a minimum of fifteen seconds.

3.
If Superlifts inflate and hold, proceed to Time Delay

Check. '•

4.
If Superlifts inflate and then leak down, perform leak

test on lines and fittings and then on Superlifts and

control valve. Repair or replace as indicated.

Time Delay Test (Reservoir Pressure 125 psi Minimum)

1.
Record rear trim height of empty car (rear bumper

to ground).

2.
Add weight equivalent to two passenger load to rear

of car. Car should begin to level in 4-18 seconds.

3.
Remove weight. After 4-18 seconds car should begin

to settle.

4.
Replace valve if time delay is not within the 4-18

seconds.

Trim Adjustment—On Car

Trim adjustment should be performed with a full fuel

tank (or the equivalent in load at the rate of 6 lbs
./gal-

lon)
,
but no other load.

Abbreviated Adjustment

1.
Fill the compressor at the service valve with the

available air line pressure.

2.
Disconnect link from height control valve lever.

Move the height control valve lever upward until air

fills the Superlifts.

3.
Move lever downward and hold until air stops escap-

ing from the exhaust port of the height control valve.

The Superlifts will now automatically hold 8 to 15

PSI.
;

4.
Let lever go to its neutral position> and loosen the

lever adjustment nut.

5.
Assemble the link to the height control valve lever

and tighten the lever adjustment nut.

NOTE: Do not move control valve lever and

overtravel body while tightening nut.
