Boost Pressure

  1. Connect air pressure gauge in-line between fuel limiter and intake manifold hose. Use a "T" fitting and enough hose so gauge may be carried in passenger compartment.
  2. Engine must be normal operating temperature. On manual transmission, drive in 3rd gear at approximately 1500 RPM. On automatic transmission, place selector in position "2".
  3. Press accelerator pedal to floor. On automatic transmission, do not engage kickdown. Bring engine speed to 3000 RPM with accelerator depressed. Maximum boost pressure should be 10-11 psi (.70-.77 kg/cm2 ).
