Carburator yes 9very slightly) because it helps create increased turbulance in the intakes where the fuel/air mix....EFI, no, because it is injected directly into the cylinders.

my truck is so efficient now it actually fills the gas tank as i drive.
every night i have to siphon 10 gallons out of the tank and pour it into neighbors cars, otherwise the tank overfills and spills gas out onto he road as i drive.
now that was funny!!!

incorrect.

the butterfly plates in the carburetor eliminate any of the "turbulence" the manufacturer claimes it makes.

Also incorrect because the EFI injects fuel into the lower intake manifold, which, in airflow terms, is before the cylinder heads, which contain the intake valves that allow the fuel-air mixture into the cylinders.

There are vehicles out there with direct injection--modern diesels, and a few European gas cars also, but our Fords are not among them.

Inspect them on a regular basis. If they become stiff from lack of grease, your mileage will suffer.

Here's mine:


Still looks good, even though the muffler is almost gone. I'll likely just reinstall them in a new muffler casing.

BTW,
Righty= Tighty=More power
Lefty= Loosey=better mileage



Years back a buddy did a plug test on his Turbo Coupe(at the dragstrip). New motorcrafts, autolites and Splitfires. No difference at all(go figure). The only reason anyone gets better power from a set of fancy plugs is the fact their old plugs were so toast ANY new plug would make it run better.

Correct- the injectors are so close to the cylinder, a Twirl device has little to no effect as compared to a carburator...that has long runners and give the fuel/air time to increase turbulance and mix.
