This procedure addresses a data error: the 1966 Chevrolet Corvette 327ci V8 is a gasoline engine and does not have a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF). No work is required.

Warnings

Preparation

1. Verify the vehicle identification and engine type to confirm this is a gasoline-powered 327ci V8
2. If a diesel conversion was performed, consult the conversion documentation for diesel exhaust system details

Procedure

1. 1

   Confirm Engine Type
   Visually inspect the engine to confirm it is the original gasoline 327ci V8. Check the valve covers, carburetor or fuel injection setup, and exhaust system. A gasoline engine will not have a DPF in the exhaust system.
2. 2

   Inspect Exhaust System
   Examine the exhaust system from the exhaust manifolds to the tailpipes. A 1966 Corvette 327 V8 will have exhaust manifolds, head pipes, and mufflers only. There will be no DPF, diesel oxidation catalyst, or SCR system present.
3. 3

   Document Findings
   Document that no Diesel Particulate Filter exists on this vehicle. If the repair order was generated in error, inform the customer that this component does not apply to their vehicle.

Reassembly

1. No disassembly was performed; no reassembly is required

Verification

• Confirm with the customer or service advisor that the repair order was entered incorrectly and that no DPF service is required for this gasoline-powered vehicle
