Just a suggestion, it's preferred that pix are posted is a link, rather than directly placed in the post itself. Really kills the bandwidth, and people on dialup may not be able to see the pix as well.

Or it could be a water injection system popular in the 40's and 50's. Supposedly cleaned the valves as you drove and boosted power and gave you better gas mileage, OR so they said LOL !! | | | | | Joined: Aug 2008 Posts: 138 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Aug 2008 Posts: 138 | Actually, water injection works real good... very popular in the diesel truck world.... But the key is having it sprayed into the manifold at HI PRESSURE through a tiny nozzle.... So that it forms a mist rather than big droplets...

I remember seeing something similar in the manual for my 1947 Chevy coupe. If I come across any information I'll let you know.

It could be a home made version, or one from a different company? HERE is a picture of a Marvel Inverse Oiler. I have one, like the one in the middle of the picture, on my truck. | | |
