Summary:

The results of a comprehensive test program using a 1969 383-CID V-8 engine at two compression ratios-9.5:1 and 7.6:1-are reported. Compression ratio changes were effected by piston changes only. Except for necessary ignition timing modifications, no other changes were made in the engine. The effects of compression ratio changes on exhaust emissions and fuel consumption were studied in steady-state dynamometer tests and in vehicle tests.At MBT ignition timing or at the same percentage power loss from MBT timing at each compression ratio and with identical carburetion, decreasing the compression ratio from 9.5:1 to 7.6:1 produced the following results:
