MPG experiment....1976 Dart Lite

2nd round has begun. I filled up Tuesday Morning.

1. The carb is rebuilt and installed, with the exception of the accelerator pump rod, which needs to be fiddled with. I am running one of a Thermoquad, as the carb did not have one upon purchase. All of the bolts holding the baseplate to main body, and top plate to main body have been tapped out and have new bolts.

2. Tire pressure has been adjusted to 35 PSI on all 4 corners. I wanted to leave it alone for the purity of the test, but could not in good conscience leave them as bought. Even thought they looked fine, they ranged from 15-18 PSI Tires max pressure is 44, so I might run them up to 44 down the road to see the effects. The manual steering is much easer now, I can almost turn it one handed.

Conclusion, I will fill up Thursday evening, and compute mileage. I now have a book, to keep MPG and notes. Update soon.
