Holy shit, that is awesome! On paper, assuming everything is working properly, it should have almost comparable performance and emissions to an equivalent fuel injected engine. Well... you know, kind of... not really, but it's still awesome. I'll grant, I don't know a whole lot about old carburated cars, but I never knew that mixture adjustment was a thing, at least not on stock cars. And not on an AMC. That's pretty advanced tech for AMC back in the day.

And it's further reason why it's so upsetting to me when people disable these systems. That's literally something that's good and helpful! Good for fuel economy, the engine, AND the environment!
