To get the best results for the Jacobs Exhaust Brake, it is necessary to observe several simple operating procedures. The Jacobs Exhaust Brake is activiated when the following conditions are met:
1. The system ON/OFF switch is in the ON position
2. The engine is not being fueled.
There will be a one or two second delay between the time when the accelerator pedal is released and the Jacobs Exhaust Brake is commanded closed by the Engine Control Module. This delay is programmed into the Engine Control Module and is not adjustable. The purpose of this delay is to prevent unintended activation of the exhaust brake during gear change events.

During 1969, the Chrysler Corporation developed a special version of the Dodge Superbee. Created primarily for professional drag racing competition, this limited-production performance machine was known as the famous “440 Six Pack”. This designation referred to the potent 440 cubic inch V-8 engine that was fitted with three two-barrel carburetors and a four-speed transmission. This car was distinguished by a removable fiberglass hood that was retained by four quick-release hood pins and was painted in a sinister looking semi gloss black finish. Your Revell kit is a superb replica of the 440 Superbee. From the detailed engine bay to the striking Superbee stripe that adorns the the rear of the car, this model captures the excitement of one of the “Muscle Car” era’s most potent creations.
