The new top ring coating, also referred to as MSC312, uses chromium nitride applied through a high-velocity oxygen fuel (HVOF) thermal spray process. The market for high-output turbocharged engines is expected to achieve a market share of 30% or more by 2020. It provides the superior performance of a more costly premium inlaid top ring.

This downsizing enables lower fuel consumption, accompanied by low emissions and optimum weight. This results in faster heating-up of the oil, therefore minimizing frictional losses after cold starting. Charging takes place at all times via a two-stage exhaust-gas turbocharger system.

The AM/FM/8-track without CB was $337 (about $1,823 today), but this unit isn't listed in any of my reference books for 1976. That engine made 200 horses and 330 pound-feet, while providing single-digit gas mileage midway between the 1973 and 1979 Oil Crises. For the 1978 model year, the GM A-Bodies got downsized.
