My source said 2 HP. But any pollution device that doesn't
*rob* 10-20 HP is pretty amazing! Personally, I found the
extra air cleaner with it's little intake "snout" kinda
cool looking. "Wow! Your car has THREE air cleaners!" :-)
I never had any touble with the air pump on my 68 MGB,
except that I needed to replace the gulp valve diaphragm
every couple years.
