Re: Thompson power blast plate- Carb innovation?

I always thought a carburetor atomized the fuel to some degree when it mixes air with fuel. It's the flow of air that carries the fuel into the combustion chamber, not liquid dribbling in. Isn't it a combustible vapor entering the cylinder that ignites? I can see the benefits of further vaporizing (atomizing) if that's what this product actually does. I'd consider trying one, but they overlooked the Quadrajet. That leaves me out
