1980 Chrysler 318 V8 Emission Control Label - Timing, Idle & Spark Plug Specs
Chrysler emission control information (catalyst) label with engine and tune-up specifications.
This is a photograph of a Chrysler Corporation Vehicle Emission Control Information (VECI) decal affixed to a body panel (appears to be a radiator support or core support area) of a vehicle. The label states that the vehicle conforms to U.S. EPA regulations applicable to 1980 model year new motor vehicles and identifies the engine as a 318 cubic inch V8 with catalyst emissions equipment (compliance demonstrated below 4000 feet). The decal carries part/identification number 4179534 with a barcode, and engine/calibration codes OE-3/6 and OFA-318-2-CGP. Tune-up specifications listed include: ignition timing 12° BTC, idle set speed 700 rpm, propane-enriched idle 800 rpm, fast idle 1500 rpm, with a note to reduce all idle speeds by 75 rpm under 300 miles. Spark plug specification is RN12Y (Champion-style designation shown as "65 PR") with a .035-inch gap, and the vehicle follows Maintenance Schedule B. The label directs readers to the service manual for additional information and warns that adjustments made by other than approved service manual procedures may violate federal and state laws. This label provides original factory tune-up data useful for restoring or servicing a 1980 Chrysler 318 V8 vehicle.
