Custom Cruiser RWD V8-307 5.0L (1985)
This valve is used in the manifold vacuum line to the distributor vacuum advance to improve driveability during cold engine operation.
Electronic Module Retard-Vacuum Switch (EMR-VS)
The electrical contacts of this switch are normally closed. When the TVS directs vacuum to the EMR-VS, the contacts close and complete the circuit
to ground. The circuit is energized when 4 or more inches Hg are applied and de-energized when vacuum is reduced to 5.75 inches Hg or less.
Trapped Vacuum Spark Advance (TVSA)
This system improves engine warm-up during heavy acceleration. A vacuum delay unit is located in the vacuum advance line and connected to the
distributor Thermal Vacuum Switch (TVS). When engine coolant temperature is below the switching point, full vacuum signal is supplied through a
delay valve to the distributor when manifold vacuum is increasing. A small orifice is provided in the delay valve to allow for leakdown when manifold
vacuum is decreasing. When engine coolant temperature is above the switching point, the TVS opens ports 1 and 2 and full vacuum bypasses the delay
valve through the TVS to the distributor.
