when necessary.
Engine Unit Number
The engine unit number (figs. 3 and 4) shows manu-
facturing plant, month and day of manufacture, and
transmission type. A typical engine number would be
F1210FA, which would breakdown thus:
F~Manufacturing Plant (F—Flint, T—Tonawanda)

LUBRICATION 0-14
SAE 5W-30 oils may be used during periods when
temperatures of 32° and below are to be expected.
Types of Oils
In service, crankcase oils may form sludge and varnish
and under some conditions, corrosive acids unless pro-
tected against oxidation.
To minimize the formation of these harmful products
and to assure the use of oil best suited for present day
operating conditions, automobile manufacturers have de-
veloped a series of sequence tests designed to evaluate
the ability of any oil to properly lubricate automobile
engines.
It is recommended that only those oils which are
certified by their suppliers as meeting or exceeding the
maximum severity requirements of these sequence tests
(or GM Standard 4745-M) be used in Chevrolet engines.
Certified sequence tested oils will be described as such
on their containers.
Maintaining Oil Level
The oil gauge rod is marked "Full" and "Add Oil."
These notations have broad arrows pointing to the level
lines.
The oil level should be maintained between the
two lines, neither going above the "Full" line nor under
the "Add Oil" line. DO NOT OVERFILL. After operating
vehicle allow a few minutes for oil to return to crankcase
before checking oil level.
Check the oil level frequently and add oil when
necessary.
Oil and Filter Change Intervals
NOTE:
Under prolonged dusty driving condi-
tions,
it is recommended that these operations
be performed more often.
OIL
To insure continuation of best performance, low main-
tenance cost and long engine life, it is necessary to
change the crankcase oil whenever it becomes contami-
nated with harmful foreign materials. Under normal
driving conditions draining the crankcase and refilling
with fresh oil every 60 days or every 6000 miles which-
ever occurs first, is recommended.
It is always advisable to drain the crankcase only after
the engine has become thoroughly warmed up or reached
normal operating temperature. The benefit of draining is,
to a large extent, lost if the crankcase is drained when
the engine is cold, as some of the suspended foreign
material will cling to the sides of the oil pan and will not
drain out readily with the cold, slower moving oil.
OIL FILTER
Change engine oil filter every 6000 miles or every 6
months, whichever occurs first.
NOTE:
For Vehicles in heavy duty operation
involving continuous start-stop or prolonged idl-
ing, engine oil should be changed after 2500-
3000 miles of operation. The filter should be
changed after 5000-6000 miles of operation.
Crankcase Dilution
Probably the most serious phase of engine oil deterio-
ration is that of crankcase dilution which is the thinning
of the oil by fuel vapor leaking by pistons and rings and
mixing with the oil and by condensation of water on the
cylinder walls and crankcase.
Leakage of fuel, or fuel vapors, into the oil pan occurs
mostly during the "warming up" period when the fuel is
not thoroughly vaporized and burned. Water vapor enters
the crankcase through normal engine ventilation and
through exhaust gas blow-by. When the engine is not
completely warmed up, these vapors condense, combine
with the condensed fuel and exhaust gases and form acid
compounds in the crankcase.
As long as the gases and internal walls of the crank-
case are hot enough to keep water vapor from con-
densing, no harm will result. However, when the engine
is run in low temperatures moisture will collect and
unite with the gases formed by combustion resulting in
an acid formation. The acid thus formed is likely to
cause serious etching or pitting which will manifest itself
in excessively rapid wear on piston pins, camshaft
bearings and other moving parts of the engine, oftentimes
causing the owner to blame the car manufacturer or the
lubricating oil when in reality the trouble may be traced
back to the character of fuel used, or a condition of the
engine such as excessive blowby or improper carburetor
adjustment.
Automatic Control Devices to Minimize
Crankcase Dilution
All engines are equipped with automatic devices which
aid greatly in minimizing the danger of crankcase
dUution.
The thermostat, mounted in the cylinder head water
outlet, restricts the flow of water to the radiator until a
predetermined temperature is reached, thus minimizing
the length of time required to reach efficient operating
temperature, reducing the time that engine temperatures
are conducive to vapor condensation.
A water by-pass is included in the cooling system,
utilizing a hole in the front of, the cylinder block. This
allows a limited circulation of coolant, bypassing the
thermostat until thermostat opening temperatures are
reached. This system provides a uniform coolant tem-
perature throughout the engine, eliminating localized
hot-spots, improving exhaust valve life, provides fast
warmrup of lubricating oil and fast temperature rise in
the coolant which provides fast heater operation in cold
weather.
A thermostatic heat control on the exhaust manifold
during the warming up period, automatically directs the
hot exhaust gases against the center of the intake mani-
fold, greatly aids in proper vaporization of the fuel.
An automatic choke reduces the danger of raw or
unvaporized fuel entering the combustion chamber and
leaking into the oil reservoir.
An.
efficient crankcase ventilating system drives off
fuel vapors and aids in the evaporation of the raw fuel
and water which may find its way into the oil pan.

PERFORMANCE DATA
The following Performance Data define normal opera-
tion of the system under the above conditions. Relative
humidity does not appear in the tables because after
running the prescribed length of time on recirculated air
and maximum cooling, the relative humidity of the air
passing over the evaporator core will remain at ap-
proximately 35% to 40% regardless of the ambient
temperature or humidity.
Should excessive head pressures be encountered at
higher ambient temperatures, an 18" fan placed in front
of the vehicle and blowing into the condenser will provide
the extra circulation of air needed to bring the pressures
to within the limits specified.
NOTE: Higher temperatures and pressures will
occur at higher ambient temperatures, fti areas
of high humidity it is possible to have ther-
mometer and gauge readings approach but not
reach the figures listed in the performance
tables and still have a satisfactory operating
unit. However, it is important to remember that
low pressure has a direct relationship to nozzle
outlet temperature. If pressure is too low, ice
will gradually form on the evaporator fins, re-
stricting airflow into the passenger area and
resulting in insufficient or no cooling.

EXPANSION VALVE
A malfunction
of the
expansion valve will
be
caused
by
one of the
following conditions: valve stuck open,
valve stuck closed, broken power element,
a
restricted
screen
or an
improperly located
or
installed power
element bulb.
The
first three conditions require valve
replacement.
The
last two may be corrected by replacing
the valve inlet screen
and by
properly installing
the
power element bulb.
Attachment
of the
expansion valve bulb
to the
evap-
orator outlet line
is
very critical.
The
bulb must be
attached tightly
to the
line
and
must make good contact
with
the
line along
the
entire length
of
the bulb. A loose
bulb will result
in
high
low
side pressures and poor
cooling.
On
bulbs located outside
the
evaporator case
insulation must be properly installed.

Hose Clamps (Fig. 58)
When hose clamp connections are encountered special
procedures are necessary for both installation and
removal.
Installation
1.
Coat tube and hose with refrigeration oil.
2.
Carefully insert hose over the three beads on the
fitting and down as far as the fourth, or locating,
bead. Hose must butt against this fourth bead.
CAUTION: Use no sealer of any kind.
3.
Install clamps on hose, hooking the locating arms
over the cut end of the hose.
4.
Tighten the hose clamp screw to 35-42 lb. in.
(except Corvette) 30-38 lb. in. (Corvette). DO NOT
RETORQUE.
Removal
1.
Carefully, with a sharp knife, make an angle cut in
the hose as shown in Figure 58. This should loosen
the hose so that it may be worked off the fitting.
2.
Cut off slit end of hose when reinstalling. Reinstall
as described above.
CAUTION: Use only approved refrigeration
hose. Never use heater hose. Use extreme care
REPAIR OF REFRIGERANT LEAKS
Any refrigerant leaks found in the system should be
repaired in the manner given below:
Leaks at "O" Ring Connection
1.
Check the torque on the fitting and, if too loose,
tighten to the proper torque. Always use a backing
wrench to prevent twisting and damage to the "O"
ring. Do not overtighten. Again leak test the joint.
2.
If the leak is still present, discharge the refrigerant
from the system as described under "Evacuating
and Charging Procedures."
3.
Inspect the ''O" ring and the fitting and replace if
damaged in any way. Coat the "O". ring before re-
installed with refrigerati6n oil and install carefully.
4.
Retorque the fitting, using a backing wrench, and
then add 1/2 to 1 lb. of R-12 to the system and
recheck for leaks.
CAUTION: Do not operate the system with this
small refrigerant charge.
5. Purge the system, thus removing the 1/2 to 1 lb.
installed in Step 4 above.
6. Evacuate and charge the system.
Leaks at Hose Clamp Connection
1.
Check the tightness of the clamp itself and tighten
if necessary. Recheck for leak.
2.
If leak has not been corrected discharge the system
and loosen clamp and remove hose from connection.

installed in Step 4 above.
6. Evacuate and charge the system.
Compressor Leaks
If leaks are located around the compressor shaft seal
or shell, replacement of necessary seals should be made
as outlined under "Compressor" in the Chassis Overhaul
Shop Manual.
REFRIGERANT HOSE FAILURE
After a leak or rupture has occurred in a refrigerant
hose, or if a fitting has loosened and caused a consider-
able loss of refrigerant and oil, the entire system should
be flushed and recharged after repairs have been made.
Ji the system has been open to atmosphere for any pro-
longed period of time the receiver-dehydrator should be
replaced.

COLLISION PROCEDURE-AII Systems
Whenever a car equipped with air conditioning unit is
involed in a collision or wreck, it should be inspected as
soon as possible. The extent of damage to any or all of
the component parts and the length of time the system
has been exposed to the atmosphere will determine the
replacement of parts and processing that will be re-
quired. The greater the length of time of exposure to the
atmosphere, the greater will have been the chances for
air, moisture and dirt to have entered and damaged the
system. Every case may be entirely different so it is not
possible to establish a hard and fast procedure to follow
each time. Good judgment must be used to determine
what steps should be taken in each specific case.
The following procedure is presented as a guide for

use when inspecting a damaged vehicle equipped with air
conditioning.
1.
Remove the drive belt. Cut belt off if necessary.
2.
Visually inspect the condenser, receiver-dehydrator,
compressor, mounting brackets, conditioning unit, all
connecting lines, and all controls to determine the
extent and nature of the damage.
a. No repairs, such as soldering, welding or braz-
ing, should be attempted on the condenser be-
cause of its construction. If the vapor passages
in the horizontal tubes or return bends or mani-
folds have been damaged in any way, the con-
denser should be replaced with a new one.
b.
The receiver-dehydrator should be replaced if
there is any evidence of its having sustained
either internal damage or a fracture at any of
the lines or welded joints or if the system has
been exposed to the atmosphere for an undeter-
mined period of time.
c. Examine the compressor for any visible external
damage.
d. The evaporator should be examined for damage
and, if necessary, removed or replaced or the
entire unit processed where damaged or exposed
to the atmosphere.
e. All connecting lines and flexible hoses should be
examined throughout their entire length for dam-
age.
If damaged in any manner, replace with new
lines.
f. Check all controls and connecting wires for
damage and replace with new parts where needed.
g. Check the clutch pulley for proper operation and
freedom from damage.
3.
Install gauge set.
4.
Purge the system. Pressure should not exceed 3 to
5 pounds.
5. Remove the compressor from mounting and remove
the oil test fitting.
6. Pour out the oil into a clean glass container and ex-
amine it for any foreign substance such as dirt,
water, metal particles, etc. If any of these are
present, the compressor and receiver-dehydrator
should be replaced and the other system components
should be flushed with liquid refrigerant.
7. If the oil is clean and free of any harmful substance,
replace oil with Frigidaire Oil available through
Parts Stock.
NOTE:
If the system components have been
replaced or flushed, replace the full charge of
oil. If not, add no more fresh oil than was
drained in Step 6.
8. Charge up the compressor to drum or can pressure
and leak test the compressor seals prior to in-
stallation of compressor.
9. Reinstall the compressor and evacuate the system
by following the Evacuating Procedure.
