Road Trip !!

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.


Well that's no fun. Hard to believe my clunker made it home and your completely rebuilt everything beauty did not.
Lucky the summit $400 hei distributor was still under warranty... I just got my money back as I didn't want that to happen again...
It took 20 minutes for the tow truck and it was the first time I ever used my Haggardy Towing...
It only took me an hour or so to put my MSD distributor in and MSD box and start it up and drive it into the garage for the night till I could come back and make a nice clean install the next morning...
