Padgett Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 In R&Ring the thermostat I had a look inside the throttle body intake hose and see what looks like a super turbine air vortex power injector. Think I last saw one around the first fuel crisis. Is this something the factory did or the PO found in a catalog ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psych0matt Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 But it's got louvers !!! True. I've actually always wondered if those things actually do anything measurable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94 olds vert Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 (edited) I'd toss it out just to be on the safe side. Edited April 18, 2016 by 94 olds vert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padgett Posted April 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 Turns out I have a gen-u-ine $69.00 Tornado with CARB approval no less. Is now sitting on the bench. Seems I remember them being tested during the fuel crisis and being found to do no harm. Only thing that actually saved gas was a device called the PassMaster that went in the AC relay and connected to a vacuum source. If the MAP went below 5" as when passing it would turn the AC off.

mfewtrail Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 Long time since I've seen one of those. I wouldn't toss it, but would chop it up to repurpose for some other use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padgett Posted April 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 No chopping, will go on the wall with other oddball stuff that dates back to the 30's. Psych0matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imp558 Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 Are there magnets on the fuel lines too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padgett Posted April 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 Haven't found any but there is this giant decal in the backlight I'd like to remove since cannot see through it but seems to be under the tinting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
