Palehorse-LOA-

Not something I did but I kinda share the blame. Way back in the day, a lot of my friends were very much into muscle cars, Pontiacs in particular. When "Johnny" drove up in his newly-aquired '69 Firebird, we all gathered around, popped the hood, and enjoyed checking out the new toy. During our discussion, the topic of how 4-barrel carburetors worked came up and we explained to him how two of the barrels were open all the time, the other two opening up when demand on the engine via the gas pedal reached a certain point and more POWAR was needed. About a week later, he was driving his old Toyota again. If we'd seen the gears turning in his head, we certainly would have warned him against doing what he did but it was far too late....Johnny Kerman bent a few things up on that carburetor such that all four barrels were open all the time. The car ran wicked-nasty fast for a day or two, then....nothing.
