Re[2]: power boost valves

[Ed Lutz <edlutz@domain.elided>]

I haven't read anything about this "Power Boost Valve" but if as you
say, its just suppling a higher fuel pressure to the carburetor than
your correct, its not going to provide any added performance on a car
that has a properly functioning fuel system. In fact, it could cause
problems related to too high a fuel level in the carb bowl if the
fuel pressure is raised too high. Do you have a link to a web site
that discusses the boost valve? Sorry if I missed it in another
message.
