His grandpa worked for Ford, the original. Well, in this notepad was the instructions on how to build a 400mpg, YES 400, carburetor. Him and I took his 72 chevy caprice and made the mod. And yes, it did work. If I remember correctly, we got over 6700 miles, yes 6700, on (1) tank of gas. We took it for a road trip around the US in summer of 78, Southern CA, to Washington, across to NY, down to Georgia, and back to Southern CA . The power of the small block 400 was not compromised either. I remember being able to power brake with ease on dry surface with semi new tires. The only problem with this system was that it was too big. However, the engine compartment on this 'boat' had more than enough space, I love and miss the good old American cars….. <br /><br />Anyway, this gas mileage thing is an easy achievement. It is just the gov that will not allow us to have it. <br /><br />Oh yeah, because I was just 11 when we did this and he gave me the notebook, I did not realize the importance of it. Needless to say, the notebook is gone as well. The care was stolen a few weeks after completion. I wonder who stole it though…</i><br /><br />Yes, Henry Ford once invented a carburetor that would make your car get 400 miles per gallon which you could build yourself and could be fitted into any large vehicle, even on cars made fifty years later, yet was only listed in a notepad that got into the hands of this guy's great-great-grandfather, and now the government's preventing us from using it.<br /><br />I guess Ford never saw the use of such a thing. Nor did this guy's grandfather ever think to patent the thing himself. Missed opportunities...Doctor Biobrainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01641661532899934766noreply@blogger.com
