Tune-Up Notes

NOTE: In order to comply with emission standards, specifications shown on engine compartment Emission Control Tune-Up Decal must be used in all instances.
NOTE: The EPA High Altitude emission standards apply to vehicles sold in certain areas outside California which have an elevation above 4000 feet.
NOTE: Before making a compression test or cranking engine with a remote starting switch, disconnect ignition switch connector (Pink wire) from High Energy Ignition (HEI) system distributor.
CAUTION: Do not remove spark plug wires with engine running. High Energy Ignition secondary voltage is higher than standard ignition systems and may inflict harmful electrical shock.
NOTE: Damage to HEI electronic module and/or ignition coil may result if "TACH" terminal, in distributor cap connector, is directly grounded.
NOTE: Adjustment of injectors or internal adjustments of injector pump must be done in a properly equipped injector shop with clean environment.
