I'll never forget this amusing revelation in the Mitsubishi's SAE paper describing the MCA-Jet research and development. The "jet" was originally intended to provide a local rich mixture to the general lean charge. While testing different air/fuel ratios for the jet they accidentally found out that no fuel was actually required. Air alone worked just as good as anything and that is why it is described as "an extra swirl of air."
1000 Islands - in the mid 60's we used to vacation at a place called Lake Mississippi somewhere in that area. I recall the abundant mosquitoes and the fear of getting caught in "the current" as a small boy in a red wooden rowboat. We lived in Ottawa for a year in the early sixties too when I was in first grade, Britannia, I think.
