Flathead CO level at idle.

[Ganmain Tony]

Due to the fact our respective governments are dreaming up new ways of taxing us, including hitting us for carbon emissions, you want to be doing your fair share of emitting to get your money's worth.

Turn the thing till it gets rich!! Aim for CO of 40-50%. Heck we only use 20% of the oxygen in a breath!

Hi All

I do remember that there has been some recent emissions testing done on antique cars in the US with in the last few years which included a Ford Model A and I think some Ford V8s. I'll do some searching and see if I can find the test results.

As to fuel air testing I know that there was equipment back in the early 50s because my father had a test unit which he used to tune up high performance big block Lincoln flat head V8s. Family had a 49 Lincoln running a 337 bored to 350 flat head. Engine was rated at 150 HP by the time he finished playing it was producing 150 HP+ delivered to the ground at the rear wheels. So all the testing was for power not necessarily clean air.

Cheers Phil
