  2. Chevrolet small-block engine (first- and second-generation)

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_small-block...

    The system used a special version of GM's still-new "CCC" engine management system. Fuel was supplied by the two TBI units, set diagonally apart from each other, atop the unique, aluminum intake manifold. Unfortunately, the system was placed atop the basic LG4 and lacked any significant performance capability.

  3. Manifold injection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manifold_injection

    Manifold injection is a mixture formation system for internal combustion engines with external mixture formation. It is commonly used in engines with spark ignition that use petrol as fuel, such as the Otto engine, and the Wankel engine.

  4. Crankcase ventilation system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crankcase_ventilation_system

    The intake manifold vacuum, with wide open throttle, is lower in these conditions, which causes the PCV valve to open and the crankcase gases flow to the intake system. [13] The greater flow rate of intake air during these conditions means that a greater quantity of blow-by gases can be added to the intake system without compromising the ...

  5. Manifold vacuum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manifold_vacuum

    Manifold vacuum, or engine vacuum in a petrol engine is the difference in air pressure between the engine's intake manifold and Earth's atmosphere. Manifold vacuum is an effect of a piston's movement on the induction stroke and the airflow through a throttle in the intervening carburetor or throttle body leading to the intake manifold. It is a ...

  6. Closed manifold - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closed_manifold

    But normally, a compact manifold (compact with respect to its underlying topology) can synonymously be used for closed manifold if the usual definition for manifold is used. The notion of a closed manifold is unrelated to that of a closed set. A line is a closed subset of the plane, and it is a manifold, but not a closed manifold.

  7. Chevrolet 90° V6 engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_90°_V6_engine

    This system had one centrally-located fuel injector to distribute fuel to six hoses each with a poppet valve to each of the intake ports. This system allowed for a multi-point fuel injection, using one injector. The fuel injection was a batch fire system and used a two piece cast aluminum dual-plenum manifold.

  8. Fuel injection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_injection

    In a manifold injection system, air and fuel are mixed outside the combustion chamber so that a mixture of air and fuel is sucked into the engine. The main types of manifold injections systems are multi-point injection and single-point injection. These systems use either a continuous injection or an intermittent injection design. [13]

  9. Rochester Ramjet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rochester_Ramjet

    The Ramjet is a continuous-flow port-injection system. Unlike later fuel injection systems that used electronics, this one is based on purely mechanical principles. The two main sub-assemblies of the system are the air meter and the fuel meter. The air meter measures airflow into the engine and manages thermostatic warmup enrichment, fuel ...
