LIKE pair of lungs for this powerful
motor, this new system of carburetion and
intake supplies vaporized gasoline evenly
to all eight cylinders. Two distinct advan-
tages result from it:
1. More even compression of fuel, giving
still greater power, faster acceleration, quicker
starting and smoother performance in cold
weather.
2. More complete utilization of fuel, more
miles to the gallon of gasoline, with consequent
economy. Crankcase dilution is reduced to
minimum, thereby conserving oil with still
further economy in operation.
Increased efficiency at less cost is a
notable achievement. Yet it is only one of
many improvements which distinguish
this new and greater Ford VS. for 1884.
