Road Trip !!

With that rear gear and 318, you should be able to get some pretty good mileage on the road.
You would think so, buy my mileage sucks. I've had it around town and also on the freeway for 100 miles or more and it gets maybe 10-12 MPG. As mentioned above, there has been very little work done on the car to keep it up to snuff. I suspect all the PO's just kept it running and drove it. I think the carb (Carter BBD) is just plain tired. All of that should improve with the 4-bbl upgrade.

You did better than me. I didn't even make it out of the car show before my electronic distributor pooped...
My tried and true MSD distributor and MSD6AL cure that problem....
While I expected a nice air conditioner ride home in a truck, I wasn't expecting a Chauffeur...
Well that's no fun. Hard to believe my clunker made it home and your completely rebuilt everything beauty did not.
