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.
CAUTION: When performing tune-up on vehicles equipped with catalytic converters, do not allow or create a condition of engine misfire in more than one cylinder for an extended period of time. Damage to converter may occur due to loading converter with unburned air/fuel mixture.
CAUTION: On vehicles equipped with catalytic converters, do not add fuel system cleaning agents to fuel tank or carburetor as their use may be detrimental to the catalytic converter.
CAUTION: Before making a compression test or cranking engine using a remote starting switch, disconnect coil wire from distributor and secure to a good ground.
