Need recommendation for a Carb for better MPG!

A pick up to a 5th avenue is apples to oranges. The Lean Burn engines were pretty efficient. Those cars also ran a low rear gear and a lock up torque converter. The pick ups of that era didn't have any of that.

I had a 86' 5th Ave, I bought new that got around 27 miles to the gal. as you say, but it also had the roller cam. It was scary sometimes, while traveling, I would look down at my speedometer and going over 90 and not feeling it at all. Great car, until my EX, tour it up (interior). I should have kept the car and got rid of her.
