Re: Thompson power blast plate- Carb innovation?
Called and spoke to them yesterday, put one on order, should be here tomorrow. The guy I spoke to on the phone said there is a lot of skepticism about their product, as is reflected in the responses here. He mentioned that ethanol does not atomize as well as gas, so maybe that is why GM did not develop something like this decades ago when gas was ethanol free. Here in Cali, where the state is actually trying to regulate cow farts to control global warming, I'm sure there is a less than zero percent chance non ethanol gas will ever be available again. So, if this $40 device helps to more efficiently burn the gas, then I'm all in, regardless of how much it costs to make the part. Wish I would have thought of it first! Sure cheaper than spending four figures on an EFI system to completely modernize the fuel system. Will report back with results after install.
