MPG experiment....1976 Dart Lite

Dude, I am going to find a good vacuum amplifier and some other goodies for a care package if it kills me! PM me over on dot org, and I'll draw you up a vacuum diagram. It's all gotta be there, or your not going to realize the potential of the Dart Lite. Missing pieces make for the same mileage my race car gets. And your getting it without the 1/4 mile computed 247 hp. :shock: Of course your driving fifty seven feet, and I'm driving to Ottawa to match the economy! :-\"

If you haven't done the exhaust yet, stick with the smaller diameter. Anything on a single bigger than 2.5 is going to result in such low flow rates, your exhaust system won't dry out, and will rot from the liquid combustion bi-products left in the exhaust system.

The original feathers and lites ran a 2-1/4" head pipe and went back to the noodle over the axle. The gasses have cooled to the point that there is no back pressure penalty at that point. Keeping the velocity up will dry the system. For a mileage rig, don't mess with duals and so forth, unless your going to small diameter duals. That will still make more weight, and that's not going to help.

Get the timing set and distributor figured out first! One of these days your going to find a mopar nut in your area with a distributor machine, and the rest is going to be history! :-D
