Abstract
Herein presented is a device for improving the fuel distribution performance of an automobile's intake manifold. The device is a partition that divides the carburetor barrels between the combustion cylinders. The partition divides the manifold. Certain barrels of the carburetor serve certain combustion cylinders and other barrels of the carburetor serve other combustion cylinders. The device is a marked improvement for automobiles whose combustion cylinders have a firing order of 1, 8, 4, 3, 6, 5, 7, 2.
Claims2
A partitioning device for an intake manifold of an automobile to improve fuel mixture flow and increase engine performance comprising:
- a partition that divides the inner space of the intake manifold of the automobile, said partition runs from one length wise side of said manifold to the opposite length wise side of said manifold, said partition runs in a diagonal manner, said partition extends from the top of said manifold to the bottom of said manifold, a portion of said partition runs under said automobile's carburetor, said portion of said partition that runs under said carburetor separates the bottom openings of the barrels of said carburetor, said partition divides said inner space of said manifold into two sections, fuel mixture from one half of said barrels of said carburetor flows only into one of said two sections, fuel mixture from the other one half of said barrels of said carburetor flows only into the other section of said two sections, fuel mixture from one half of said barrels of said carburetor flows only to one half of the combustion cylinders of said automobile, fuel mixture from the other one half of said barrels of said carburetor flows only to the other one half of the combustion cylinders of said automobile, portions of said partition are curved to enhance the flow of fuel mixture.
