GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The engine tune up
is
important
to the
modern automo-
tive engine with
its
vastly improved power and perform-
ance.
The
higher compression ratios, improved electri-
cal systems
and
other advances
in
design, make today1 s
engines more sensitive
and
have
a
decided effect
on
power, performance and fuel consumption.
It
is
seldom advisable
to
attempt
a
tune up
by
correc-
tion
of one or two
items only. Time will normally
be
saved
and
more lasting results assured
if the
technician
will follow
a
definite
and
thorough procedure
of
analysis
and correction
of all
items affecting power, performance
and economy.
The tune
up
will
be
performed
in
two parts.
The
first
part will consist
of
visual and mechanical checks and
ad-
justments;
the
second part will consist
of
an instrument
checkout that
can be
performed with
any one of the
units
of service equipment available
for
this purpose. Always
follow
the
instructions provided
by the
manufacturer
of
the particular equipment
to be
used.
Additional checks
and
adjustments
are
included
in the
latter part
of
this section
for use as
required. Many
of
these operations
can be
used
to
isolate and correct trou-
ble located during
the
tune up. Where conditions
are
UB-
covered requiring major corrective action, refer
to the
appropriate section
of
this manual
or the
Passenger
Chassis Overhaul Manual
for
detailed service informa-
tion.
Typical illustrations
and
procedures
are
used except
where specific illustrations
or
procedures
are
necessary
to clarify
the
operation. Illustrations showing bench
op-
erations
are
used
for
clarification however
all
operations
can
be
performed
on the
vehicle.
MECHANICAL CHECKS
AND
ADJUSTMENTS
Spark Plug Removal
Remove any foreign matter from around spark plugs
by
blowing
out
with compressed
air,
then disconnect wires
and remove plugs.
Test Compression
(Fig. 1)
The compression check
is
important because
an
engine
with
low or
uneven compression cannot
be
tuned success-
fully.
It is
essential that improper compression
be cor-
rected before proceeding with
the
engine tune
up.
1.
Remove
air
cleaner
and
block throttle
and
choke
in
wide open position.
2.
Hook
up
starter remote control cable
and
insert
compression gauge firmly
in
spark plug port.
CAUTION: Whenever
the
engine
is
cranked
CHEVROLET

ENGINE 6-2
remotely at the starter, with a special jumper
cable or other means, the primary distributor
lead must be disconnected from the negative
post on the coil and the ignition switch must be
in the "ON" position. Failure to do this will
result in a damaged grounding circuit in the
ignition switch.
3.
Crank engine through at least four compression
strokes to obtain highest possible reading.
4.
Check and record compression of each cylinder.
5.
If one or more cylinders read low tor uneven, inject
about a tablespoon of engine oil on top of pistons
in low reading cylinders (through spark plug
port).
Crank engine several times and recheck
compression.
• If compression comes up but does not necessarily
reach normal, rings are worn.
• If compression does not improve, valves are
burnt, sticking or not seating properly.
• If two adjacent cylinders indicate low compres-
sion and injecting oil does not increase compres-
sion, the cause may be a head gasket leak between
the cylinders. Engine coolant and/or oil in cylin-
ders could result from this defect.
NOTE: If a weak cylinder cannot be located
with the compression check, see "Cylinder Bal-
ance Test" under "Additional Checks and Adjust-
ments" in this section.
Service and Install Spark Plugs (Fig. 2)
1.
Inspect each plug individually for badly worn elec-
trodes,
glazed, broken or blistered porcelains and
replace plugs where necessary. Refer to spark plug
diagnosis information presented in Section 6Y for an
analysis of plug conditions.
2.
Clean serviceable spark plugs thoroughly, using an
abrasive-type cleaner such as sand blast. File the
center electrode flat.
3.
Inspect each spark plug for make and heat range. All
plugs must be of the same make and number.
4.
Adjust spark plug gaps to specifications using a
round feeler gauge.

If available, test plugs with a spark plug tester.
Inspect spark plug hole threads and clean before in-
stalling plugs. Corrosion deposits can be removed
with a 14 mm. x 1.25 SAE spark plug tap (available
through local jobbers) or by using a small wire brush
in an electric drill. (Use grease on tap to catch
chips.)

Tune Up should be checked whenever the Air Injection
Reactor System seems to be malfunctioning. Particular
care should be taken in checking items that affect fuel-air
ratio such as the crankcase ventilation system, the car-
buretor and the carburetor air cleaner. Carburetors and
distributors for engines with the Air Injection Reactor
System are designed, particularly, for these engines;
therefore, they must not be interchanged with or replaced
by a carburetor or distributor designed for an engine
without the Air Injection Reactor System.
Choke Adjustment (Fig. 11)
With Remote Choke
1.
Remove air cleaner and check to see that choke
valve and rod move freely.
2.
Disconnect choke r*od at choke lever.
Check choke adjustment as follows:
On all except 275 hp 327 cu. in. engines, hold
choke valve closed and pull rod up against stop. The
top of choke rod end should be 1/2 - 1 rod diameter
4.
5.
above top of hole in choke valve lever.
On 275 hp 327 cu. in. engines, hold choke valve
closed and push rod down against stop on thermostat
bracket. The top of the choke rod should be 1/2 - 1
rod diameter below the top of the hole in the choke
lever.
If necessary, adjust rod length by bending rod at off-
set. (Bend must be such that rod enters choke lever
hole freely and squarely.)
Connect rod at choke lever and install air cleaner.
3.
With Manual
Choke
1.
Remove air cleaner.
2.
Push hand choke knob in to within 1/8" of instrument
panel.
3.
Loosen choke cable at carburetor bracket and adjust
cable through the clip until the choke valve is wide
open.
4.
Tighten cable clamp at carburetor bracket and check
operation of choke valve to ensure full closed and
wide open positions.
INSTRUMENT CHECK-OUT
Instrument Hook Up
Connect vacuum gauge, dwell meter, tachometer and
timing light as recommended by the manufacturer of the
equipment being used.
Check and Adjust Dwell
1.
Start engine then ch^ck ignition dwell.
.2.
If dwell is not within specifications, adjust dwell as
follows:
V8 ENGINES
• With engine running at idle, raise the adjustment
screw window-and insert an Allen wrench in the
socket of the adjusting screw (fig. 12).
• Turn the adjusting screw as required until a dwell
reading of 30° is obtained. A 2° variation is al-
lowable for wear.
• Close access cover fully to prevent the entry of
dirt into the distributor.
NOTE: If a dwell meter is not available, turn
adjusting screw clockwise until engine starts to
misfire, then turn screw one-half turn in the op-
posite direction to complete adjustment.
IN LINE ENGINES
• Remove distributor cap and recheck point setting.
If dwell is still not within specifications check the
distributor as outlined in Section 6Y.
Check Dwell Variation
Slowly accelerate engine to 1500 rpm and note dwell
reading. Return engine to idle and note dwell reading. If
dwell variation exceeds specifications, check for worn
distributor shaft, worn distributor shaft bushing or loose
breaker plate.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Two types
of
power steering
are
used
for 1967.
One
is
the conventional linkage type
for
Chevy
n and
Corvette
vehicles
and the
other
is the
integral gear type
for
Chevrolet, Chevelle,
and
Camaro.
For
both types
the
hydraulic pressure
is
provided
by an
engine-driven vane-
type pump.
On
the
Chevy
n and
Corvette linkage type power steer-
ing, hydraulic pressure
is
delivered through
a
hose from
the pump
to a
valve which senses
the
requirement
for
power assistance
and
supplies
the
power cylinder
ac-
cordingly.
The
steering gear used with this power steer-
ing
is the
same basic unit used
on
manually steered
vehicles;
it is
serviced
as
outlined
in the
manual steering
part
of
this section except
for
adjustment, which
is
covered
in the
following pages.
The
steering linkage also
is serviced the same
as
manual counterparts.
The Chevrolet, Chevelle
and
Camaro integral gear type
power steering
has the
hydraulic pressure delivered
from
the
pump through two hoses
to the
steering gear.
In
the power steering gear
the
steering shaft, hydraulic
valve, worm, and rack-piston
nut are all in
line making
a
compact
and
space saving assembly.
All oil
passages
are
internal within
the
gear except
the
pressure
and
return
hoses.
The steering gear
is a
recirculating ball system
in
which steel balls
act as a
rolling thread between
the
steering worm
and
rack-piston
nut. The
rack-piston
nut
is
all one
piece
and is
geared
to the
sector
of
the piston
shaft.
The
valve
is
contained
in the
gear housing elimi-
nating
the
need
of
bolts
or
seals
to
attach
a
separate
valve housing.
The valve
is an
open-center, rotary-type three
way
valve.
The
spool
is
held
in
neutral position by means
of a
torsion
bar. The
spool
is
attached
by
means
of
the stub
shaft
to one end of the
torsion
bar
and
to the
valve body
on
the
other
end.
Twisting
of the
torsion bar allows
the
spool
to
move
in
relation
to the
valve body thereby oper-
ating
the
valve.
MAINTENANCE
AND
ADJUSTMENTS
BLEEDING HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
1.
Fill
oil
reservoir
to
proper level and
let oil
remain
undistrubed
for at
least two minutes.
2.
Start engine
and run
only
for
about
two
seconds.
3.
Add
oil if
necessary.
4.
Repeat above procedure until
oil
level remains
con-
stant after running engine.
5. Raise front
end of
vehicle
so
that wheels
are off
the
ground.
6. Increase engine speed
to
approximately
1500 rpm.
7. Turn
the
wheels
(off
ground) right
and
left, lightly
contacting
the
wheel stops.
8. Add
oil if
necessary.
9. Lower
the car and
turn wheels right and left
on the
ground.
10.
Check
oil
level and refill
as
required.
11.
If oil is
extremely foamy, allow vehicle
to
stand
a
few minutes with engine
off and
repeat above
procedure.
,
a.
Check belt tightness
and
check
for a
bent
or
loose
pulley. (Pulley should
not
wobble with engine
running.)
b.
Check
to
make sure hoses
are not
touching
any
other parts
of the car,
particularly sheet metal.
c. Check
oil
level, filling
to
proper level
if
neces-
sary, following operations
1
through
10.
This
step
and
Step
"D" are
extremely important
as
low
oil
level and/or
air in the oil are the
most
frequent causes
of
objectionable pump noise.
d. Check
the
presence
of air in the oil. If air is
present, attempt
to
bleed system
as
described
in
operations
1
through
10. If it
becomes obvious
that
the
pump will
not
bleed after
a few
trials,
proceed
as
outlined under Hydraulic System
Checks.
FLUID
LEVEL
1.
Check
oil
level
in the
reservoir
by
checking
the dip
stick when
oil is at
operating temperature.
On
Chevelle models equipped with remote reservoir,
the reservoir should
be
maintained approximately
3/4 full when
oil is at
operating temperature.
2.
Fill,
if
necessary,
to
proper level with
GM
Power
Steering Fluid
or, if
this
is not
available, automatic

shown in Figure 66. Gauge must be between shut-
off valve and pump. Open shut-off valve,
b.
Remove filler cap from pump reservoir and check
fluid level. Fill pump reservoir to full mark on
dip stick. Start engine and, holding steering
wheel against stop, check connections at Tool
J-5176 for leakage. Bleed system as outlined
under Maintenance and Adjustments. Insert ther-
mometer (Tool J-5421) in reservoir filler open-
ing. Move steering wheel from stop to stop
several times until thermometer indicates that
hydraulic fluid in reservoir has reached tempera-
ture of 150° to 170°F.
CAUTION: To prevent scrubbing flat spots on
tires,
do not turn steering wheel more than five
times without rolling car to change tire-to-floor
contact area.
c. Hold steering wheel against a stop momentarily
and read pressure gauge. If the maximum pres-
sure is below specifications, a faulty hydraulic
circuit is indicated. To determine which part is
faulty, proceed with test number two.
Test Number Two—Oil Circuit Closed
a. Slowly turn shut-off valve on J-5176 to closed
position and read pressure indicated on gauge.
Quickly reopen valve to avoid pump damage, if
indicated pressure is less than specification,
pump output is below requirement and pump may
be considered faulty. If pressure indicated is
within specifications, it may be safely assumed
that the external hoses, connections, valve and
adapter or steering gear is at fault.
NOTE:
If pump proves faulty in test number
two,
test should be repeated after pump is re-
paired and installed in vehicle. This will provide
a means of checking the repairs made to the
pump and the condition of the steering gear or
valve and adapter which may also be faulty.
COMPONENT REPLACEMENT AND REPAIRS
POWER STEERING PUMP
Removal (Fig. 67)
1.
Disconnect hoses at pump. When hoses are discon-
nected, secure ends in raised position to prevent
drainage of oil. Cap or tape the ends of the hoses to
prevent entrance of dirt.
NOTE:
Chevelle with 396 engine uses a remote
reservoir. It is necessary to disconnect the
reservoir to pump hose before removing the
pump.
Hold a 1 qt. container under the reservoir
when the hose is removed to catch the fluid.
2.
Install two caps at pump fittings to prevent drainage
of oil from pump.
3.
Remove pump belt.
4.
On Corvette with 427 engine, loosen alternator ad-
justment and remove pump to alternator belt.
5. Remove pump from attaching parts and remove pump
from vehicle.
NOTE:
On Chevrolet and Chevy II equipped with
283 and 327 engine it may be necessary to re-
move pump brace.
6. Remove drive pulley attaching nut.
7. Remove pulley from shaft with Tool J-21239 (for
stamped pulleys) or Tool J-8433-1 with J-8433-2
adapter (for cast iron pulleys). Do not hammer
pulley off shaft as this will damage the pump.
