There was a guy,who owned a store that sold appliances on 27ave an US 1,in Miami FL.,but was an inventor too. He designed n made car points,that had two wheels,vs normal was two pucks for points=Idea was they never burn,as they are turning as they work. He did this,just before HEI became the hot thing.=That ended points.
Another man I met an worked for briffly { about 2 weeks} at the NY Worlds Fair in 1964,his name was Michell { spell?} He had a booth n dsiplay,,he had worked for Mallory Ign. Was showing an selling his own design " Iornized Ignition" [spell ?} any way, petty much very early HEI. I enjoyed the NY Worlds Fair,but maybe I should of stayed in Fla>another hole story.
I saw someone selling this at a rodeo years ago, but have never actually seen it on a vehicle. The arms move down near the wheels and start spinning chains for snow driving.
This looks like a forrunner to the Vac-U-Pan crankcase evacuation device used on drag cars to get negative pressure in the crankcase. Same Bernouille Principal. There probably wasn't enough exhaust gas massflow at idle to make it effective. WOT is better. LOL
The welded tube to the exhaust collector needed to be at the correct angle and the tube in the flow also needed the correct angle cut to attain the maximum suction. The gulp valve commonly used in the A.I.R. air pollution device which started use in 1966 vehicles made this device very useful.
