I just saved up for X-ray specs from the back of Boys' Life. Man, was I disappointed! I could not see inside my Christmas presents!

Can be. I struggle with hills, high-octane commuters climbing up my tailpipe and a failed IMA pack. But I do okay.

P&G on the flats stinks. On the hills, much better.

I rock the hills, a few years back I was working in Seneca SC with a 25 mile commute including a bunch of hills, I consistently got over 40 mpg for 5 tanks averaging 55 mph or so with about 1/3 the distance rolling motor up coast down hills. My LT Average is 34.8 and never better than 36 mpg in flat ol Florida. Vroom.

Fuel Vapor Carbs
Here is a book I got though Lindsey Publications,advertised in the back of Popular Science or Mechanix Illustrated.
It has the patent illustrations for about a dozen fuel vapor carbs,and testimonies and anecdotal evaluations.It was about $12 (US).

I am trying to build one, a real one.
http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea...tor-32977.html
Just need to put it together.
Got any pointers?
I only expect mine to help fuel economy in cold conditions.

Don't expect to drive any speed other than 35-mph.That's all these carburetors will allow for.Seriously!

That is kind of what I was thinking and that is what word of mouth has always been on them.
Tiny single bore, no accelerator pump.
I am just trying to put a 4bbl edelbrock on top of a coolant warmed carb heater plate.

In the 1960s,GM had thermostatically-controlled exhaust heat diverters built into their intake manifolds.
My CRX also had carb heat via hot coolant circulation and also t-stat controlled hot air riser into the air cleaner housing.
