DEFECT TESTING OF FIVE CATALYST EQUIPPED FORD PROTOTYPE VEHICLES. VOLUME I

The objective of the work performed under this contract was to provide test data on the performance of a known exhaust catalytic system under a variety of engine parameter conditions. The vehicles were Ford Galaxie four-door sedans equipped with 400 cubic inch V-8 engines and Englehard catalytic converter systems. Each vehicle received a 1975 FTP Emissions Test in accordance with the Federal Register for every induced defect. Volume 1 contains a description of the tests.
