Small port heads, big port intake. How bad?

I've got a 71 Dart with a 318 and an dual plane M-1 intake. Popped a vc off tonight and confirmed that it has the stock 318 heads.

So, unless I am mistaken about the M-1 intake, I have a large port intake breathing into small port heads. I've always heard that was a bad combination, but how bad?

Trying to improve the mpg on this thing, got 14 last time I checked. Thinking I should swap a 2bbl intake and fix the problem. Any thoughts?

Thanks!


M1 is a single plain right? To large (air speed to slow for the stock flow) won't get better mileage

2bbl is the best mileage manifold..........Because, your lead foot, can only pull two barrels:-D
