Like Neil I used one of these and because they are used at tickover there
is
a high depression in the manifold, the air enters the cylinder
unrestricted
via a flap in the spark plug adaptor in preference to being sucked through
the inlet valve.

I've never used one in the V8 because the plugs are less accessible and
easier to cross thread. They were im****ted by Schrader and are still
available in the states but frankly the little electric ones work with
less
fiddling.
