The 1982 Chevrolet's equipped with 5.7L V8 diesel engines will be manufactured with either high or low altitude diesel systems. A vehicle with a high altitude system will be invoiced with option NA6. The type of system can also be identified by the emission label attached to the fan shroud. The label will indicate that the vehicle was designed for principal use at either high or low altitude.
