Fuel Pacer System

Chrysler's Fuel Pacer System Was A Dazzling Half-*** Response To The Fuel Crisis

A response that was better than nothing. Plus it visually indicated when the carb was in the power mixture, with the implication that you needed to keep the light "out" for best fuel economy. Interestingly, in a few rent cars I drove back then, the '74 Plymouth 360 2bbl was easier to keep the light out on than a similar 400 2bbl was.

Personally, I thought it was pretty neat as nobody really knew when the power mixture kicked-in. With the light, it was obvious. Apparently, the author doesn't consider fuel economy to be "a user problem"?

Just my observations,

I think it was a vacuum mechanism.

My 75 Charger had that. They were adjustable too.
Many complaints at the Dodge dealership that I worked at drove people nuts.
Some just wanted them disconnected all together.

I had a 76 Dart with one. It was a 318 4-speed, sometimes I thought I'd burn out the bulb.

I got a kick out of seeing they used one of my scans posted in the Hamtramck Historical library in their story.

I wish they would have spelled Hamtramck correctly.
