dont fro get as long as ur motor has 200,000+ miles on it lol
13-14 depending how well the motor is if it's worn could be less. It might need a rebuild how many miles is on it?

a bone stock 225 with a 2bbl carb would not be in a 63-66 dart or valiant. the super six option came out in 77.
Correct unless some one added it.

64 Lucy do you have a 1 BBL now or a 2 BBl Super Six? If you have over 200,000 miles you might look at a rebuild.

i know when i swaped in the super six setup, i saw no change in fuel mileage. i would say what your getting now is what your going to see with the super setup, plus better performance:thumrigh:

I have a bone stock '79 Super Six engine in my '64 convertible, and since the rebuild, I've only had one opportunity to check it, so the numbers don't mean much. The engine isn't broken in yet, and in this 100 degree weather, a carb full of ethanol fuel will evaporate in two days.
Most of my driving is in town or rural two-lane, and the first tankful was about 18mpg. The improvement is 2mpg over the tired '64 engine with the same Super Six setup.

dan,
did that come out in 76 as a 77 model year, or did it come out on 76 cars? every book i have shows 77 as the first year for the super six option. and in my years of searching the wrecking yards i have never seen one on a 76 car.

Like dartdoctor said. Its got 200,00+ on it now. But around tax time, I should have a different motor in it. I'm just curious as to what all everyone gets with theirs. I know what the tired motor is gonna get. The single barrel is getting around 30 with good plugs in it.
There is no way your /6 is getting 30mpg. They never have and never will.
18-20 mpg is the most that has been posted here.

I had an a 78 aspen with super 6, recurved dist, and 2 1/4 exhaust. Had 2.76 gears and a lock up torque converter and 18 MPG in everyday driving and 20-21 on hwy only.
Well there is a difference between a automatic and a od 4 speed.

yup but he put a better trans in the thing A-833 OD transmission from a 1976 Dodge Aspen that helps alot u also got to see he dont tell how many miles aer on the motor and so on
The OP requested mpg values for a bone stock slant. Did that mean bone stock everything? If so, then you would be hard pressed to find one from the 1960s when Chrysler was touting 30 mpg from the economy Darts in contrast to the performance Darts.
The poster on the slantsix site did a few inexpensive modifications that anyone can do and achieve mpg comparable to modern cars. That was his point.
30 mpg out of a slant six is very good. My 1995 3 Liter v-6 Toyota Camry gets 30 mpg on the highway. It has an overdrive automatic tranny, 15 inch tires, and a economy setting for the fuel injection in order to get it. The advantage that this engine has over the slant is that I can turn off the overdrive and hit the "power" button and get really good power out of it.
Oh yeah, the car has 176K miles and still gets 30 mpg.

I said my slant gets AROUND 30mpg. if your gonna quote. please do so with accuracy, especially if your going to imply that im a lier.
Dart- with yours and brooks lead foot. I wouldnt expect you to get anywhere near 30mpg. lol
