Well, I thought Lean Burn represented the worst of both worlds. No loss at all, and a good way to ruin a Carter carburetor.

too lean is a good way to ruin pistons, and carbs too I guess, if they are on top off an exhaust crossover. but I think lean, generally, is more efficient than rich, it also helps keep the ridges that develop in the top of cylinder bores to a minimum.

I wonder if that heat blocker gel stuff for use when welding sensitive parts (remarkable stuff!) would help a non blocked exhaust crossover? http://www.athea.com/file/0312-web-tech-data-sheet.pdf

or if it could be made into a solid? something like a phenolic spacer.. or if not, if a gel filled spacer with it could be useful? if it doesnt loose its potency over time.

I bet it could help in some areas for vapor lock issues as it is (gel) too..

Ive found a complete ESC and E.Q-jet system in a Caprice a friend has been parting out, he just wanted the engine and trans from it and says I can have all the other stuff. also have access to a superflow 901 engine dynomometer.

I think its time to start looking for a 455 Olds power source.. LOL and I love that LeMans Blue they came in too.
