And it's possible to rip all that vacuum equipment out and let the motor just be carb'd. They say it runs a hair richer, but none have seen an increase in fuel mileage.
Nooooooooooo! Don't doooo eeeeet!

Isn't all that vacuum stuff for emissions reduction and fuel economy?

Did the carbed version come with lean burn? You wouldn't want to mess with that. We are all excited to see what you can pull off with your mileage.
