A package is now available to accommodate a customer who wishes to convert his 1984 low altitude emission package to the high altitude (over 4,000
feet above sea level) emission package.
Vehicles with the low altitude package transferred to service in high altitude areas may exhibit undesirable driveability. However, the installation of a
high altitude conversion package is voluntary and at the customer's expense.
The high altitude field conversion packages and procedures outlined below have been authorized in the following 1984 non-altitude equipped engine
families in service at altitudes above 4,000 feet above sea level.
