I don't know how beneficial it would be without more than 6 psi behind it but at the same time logic would dictate that, if the fuel flow was fanned out like that it would mix better. If someone gave one to me, I'd def try it.

Holley has had three or more designs of shooters, each in incremental sizes for tuning. I'd look for the right one... I liked big pump, big pump cam, small shooter to make sure those venturis were FLOWING before they finished, just me.... Hard to kill a multi spark motor with gas, EASY with lean. Loved my MSD gold box and the later gen Direct Connection Chrome. They claimed they mastered the continuous spark negating the need for MSD.

Now you know why I'm interested in tip-in tuning on EFI and DBW.


But if a piece of tin fixes EVERYTHING so be it!

Once past the needle, seat and float fuel pressure has DONE it's job, it's all carb from then on.

Oh GAWD! Just watched the video!

The kind of gizmo that'd sucker me right in......
resist.....resist.

I bought a do hicky thingy for my TH700....
it plugged in between harness and trans.
If it worked I never knew it.....the guy selling it was quite surprised he had a customer.
Well it was in Hot Rod and Car Craft !!

When Moroso announced THIS they called it "The Bill Jenkins Spring".

I bought one for my Red Pump I never used. The Speed Shop guys thought I was a badass MF!

The "Tornado Air System"..... "Tornado Air improves your everyday driving experience with more power and mileage. Your wheels go further (30-60 more miles) each time you fill up at the gas station. If you're here, you heard about us from your family or friend. Order online, get installed, and tell a friend!"
It has been around for years.

I got one of those Tornado do-hickeys with the last L29 I bought. I'm 99.44% sure it's still in the scrap barrel.....which is where I think the tin squirter flare do-hickey would find itself. I know of several folks on FB that think the moon was hung with the tin squirter flare thing-a-ma-bob but I've got better things to waste my money on right now.

The one that had people scratching their heads was the fuel pre-heaters in the 80s. Not for power mainly but for mileage. They attached to the heater hose. And the next electric supercharger I see I guess I need to link.

But mainly I like to think about accelerator pumps. Anyone REALLY slow a car down with too much squirt?

[RockJustRock]

Still LOVING this.....

Plus EVERYONE plays the game some..... C'mon Jeg.... $9-$22 for squirters? Do the $22 ones squirt $13 better than the $9 ones?

[malc]

Thanks....that was interesting.

They sell for $7.79 each at Summit
regardless of size.

Anyone ever thought of opening a Speed Shop in Barcelona? Essentially just a store front people could have stuff safely shipped to and hang out at?

Like my backyard....????
There are plenty of American cars here and I have
no idea where they buy parts.
My friend Miguel just down the street has a 3rd gen Firebird.....he buys from Summit direct too.
If there was a shop here I would'nt use it as I am not going to pay someone to do what I can do.
I can buy four BF Goodrich tires from Summit for the price of two here.
Plus, if I buy the wrong part I know who to blame.


Seems I'm upgrading my carb pump....etc.,
Just for watching that video......

Including shipping ?

[malc]

Yup.......I have them sent airfreight and go to the airport to collect them
My rear tires would be special order and special puts the cost up.
