Having ridden shotgun in Max's Commando 67 cuda from LA to San Jose (300 miles?). I can understand why he wants a 2 barrel on the slanty as he cruises at about 80MPH. :D
That's just keeping up with traffic on the 5.... if you go any slower you're in the right lane with the trucks.
The other week, in the slanty, I kept it to 70 or occasionally 75, But that was on 101 -- I didn't want to torture test it on the Grapevine on a hot afternoon.
It does seem a little lazy on the big hills. I'm guessing it needs a tuneup pretty badly. Definitely taking care of that before I get into exotic stuff -- I've learned my lesson in that department.
What I can't figure out is why it needed 8 quarts of oil to get to LA, and only 1 coming back? I left the cap off on that last fill -- I wonder if that indicates a clogged breather causing excessive blowby? Can't say we noticed any tailpipe smoke.
