Better take the spark plugs out, with no valves opening the suction and compression from those pistons has to go somewhere.
No, you want that compression to balance it out, otherwise it idles really choppy. Acts like a spring.
a guy did this to a carbed Cadillac in the 60s or 70s...got over 30 mpg. oil companies caught wind of it and he, or his project were never heard from again.
For carbed, just take the pushrods out of the cylinders you want to disable. I think 2,3,5, and 8 are what people usually run on when this is done.
dunno if it will work with 1,4,6, and 7.
The carb is no worry...there will be no vac on the disabled side to draw fuel.
