7. Ford EEC - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_EEC

   The EEC-II controlled air-fuel ratio via Ford's model 7200 Variable Venturi (VV) Carburetor, the last carburetor designed and built by Ford US. In it, the air-fuel ratio was controlled by a stepper motor that operated a rack which moved a pintle that opened and closed the float bowl vent. When closed, no air could enter the bowl, causing the ...
