"power stacks" ????
Ever hear of these? Gee, with all these benefits I don't know why they didn't catch on!

WOW!!! I don't know why everyone doesn't cut holes in their hood to put those on, most certainly would make the engine last forever. Of course for only $19 a month..........

Post a picture of the instructions on the box if you can. I still can’t figure what kind of snake oil that stuff is.

How would venting the exhaust manifold raise compression? Or clean valves and spark plugs? Seems like it’s bound to provide either an exhaust leak or if a one way valve inside, maybe a bunch of exhaust popping. I don’t understand. Snake oil stuff.

I toyed around with buying one of those Tornado devices 25-30 years ago - and then I came to my senses.

In the summer of 64 I bought some little propeller looking things from J.C. Witney that fit between the carburetor and the intake manifold. They would spin and work miracles for my 283. A week later I looked down in the carb and the little propellers were gone. Well, my old wore out engine just sucked them down. I have often wondered if years later someone removed the carb and thought, "what the Hell"!

I believe the one that people claimed could deliver 200 mpg (and which was allegedly covered up by the oil companies) was the one designed by Charles Pogue. It's my understanding that no crazy claims were made for the Reece Fish carb.
