I made one of these 'air stone aspirators' that bubbled air thru a water reservoir and sucked the humidified air into the engine. had it on a Fiat 124 and a Volvo 1800. hafta say it really didn't make any difference. i don't think the quantity of moisture entering the combustion process was significant. it was a fun project but not very worthwhile... the units from Edelbrock and Spearco utilize a water pump and misting nozzle mounted in the air cleaner and pointed straight into the carb throat. take note of David's warning with these and VW engines. -dan
