@ChronicEye Water vapour you mean...

Did you know you will get better power by using acethylene a fuel gas made by driping water on calcuim Carbide, if you add this fuel and mix it with browns gas from a water fuel cell then your vehical would need only minerals and water for fuel.

Interesting...! It's worth trying on an old engine I guess.

I would It would be grate as a experiment in to Alternate renewable fuels We can inexpensivly make Calcium carbide and water is easy to come by, The only draw back to acetyline is that it needs more oxigen then is in the air to burn cleanly, but if it was mixed with H2+H2+O2 from a water fuel cell or one was to chemicaly produce nitetrusoxide by reaction and mix it in small % the burn would become clean and have far more power than even gasoline.

Thanks, man! I know, you always regret it that you didn't made enough pictures and videos of a car once you've sold it. That's why I try to take my camera with me when I go driving.

You should post the videos tou have of your el Camino if you still have them.

Definitely a nice ride. I had an '86 El Camino with 400 horses out of a 350 smallblock. I loved it. Wish I would have taken more videos of it =(

You are right about that crappy emission stuff on these engines, and the power this engine produces is not that great. It's hard to leve with smoking tires, but hey; it's just a nice car to cruise with. =)
