Equipment Sales, Inc., of West Chicago, Illinois deals in the retrofitting of pick-up trucks with Chrysler-Nissan 6N633 swirl chamber diesel engines. This type of vehicle was of interest to the EPA's Emission Control Technology Division (ECTD) as it relates both to ECTD programs in the areas of exhaust emissions from medium duty vehicles and exhaust emissions from small diesel engines which may be applicable to passenger cars. ECTD contacted the President of SandS and asked if he was interested in having EPA test one of his vehicles. It was agreed and the vehicle tested was a 1973 Ford F-250 pick-up truck with 4-speed manual transmission, retrofitted with a Chrysler-Nissan 6N633 swirl chamber diesel engine. The engine has 6 cylinders with 198 CID. At the time of testing over 10,000 miles had been accumulated on the vehicle.
