ABSTRACT:
An apparatus positionable between a multi-barrel carburetor and an intake manifold of an internal combustion engine includes a plurality of stacked, thin plates defining aligned apertures communicating the carburetor with the intake manifold. One of the plates defines a valve element aperture within which a movable valve element is disposed. The valve element is shiftable to block one of the aligned apertures to disable selected cylinders of the engine, thereby achieving split engine operation.
