    Need recommendation for a Carb for better MPG!

    You are at least the 2nd person to suggest a TQ, thank you! Do you know if they still make them new or look for good used on Ebay? This could be a relatively cheap improvement:thumbsup:.

    Need recommendation for a Carb for better MPG!

    This is the kind of priceless info that I really respect because I would not have your experience. THANK YOU! One thing, could you elaborate more about when you say "you definitely want one with the ability to advance on the tool" what that means? Sorry but I'm trying to learn. If I understand...

    Need recommendation for a Carb for better MPG!

    Hey, this is fantastic, detailed information that I will definitely be able to use, Thank You!! One thing that has come up lately is that after I drive the Demon, put it in the garage, the garage smells pretty bad of gas so I will have to explore before I drive again. I don't smell it when I...

    Need recommendation for a Carb for better MPG!

    OK, it's going to take me some time but I'm going to follow what I see as being the consensus here and do a tune up. One thing at a time, I don't have a vacuum gage. Any recommendations? Thanks!!

    Need recommendation for a Carb for better MPG!

    I love this! I too put 27" tires on the back. I just might consider trying try this after I do the tune up depending upon how things go. Not sure how to get a 318 cam yet. THANK YOU! 380 miles on a tank would be awesome!

    Need recommendation for a Carb for better MPG!

    I appreciate what you are saying but I'm not that guy. Everyone is different. I'm mostly in love with the body style and I would have bought the Demon if it had a slant six. Yes, the extra power is absolutely fun from time to time but it's not a got-to-have for me. I have a 2010 hemi Challenger...

    Yes, it did in fact bump it up some and put my speedometer in the right place.

    Need recommendation for a Carb for better MPG!

    About 18 years ago, I see that I took out the 323s and put in 294s. Would it be worth going down to a 276? I guess I would have a 294 and 323 to trade/sell. In the meantime, I'm going to work on getting the 340 tuned. You guys are wonderful!

    Efficiency sounds good to me!

    Need recommendation for a Carb for better MPG!

    This is some pretty great perspective, and you are spot on! I didn't think of it quite like this but also thought if I could get maybe 3-5 more mpg I wouldn't have to stop for gas so much with our 16 gal. tanks. My commutes are 60 miles a day. I am very good at driving in an efficient way so I...

    Need recommendation for a Carb for better MPG!

    I Live in Lincoln Nebraska. I wish I had one of you guys close enough to hire to spend a couple hours with me and my Demon to see what might be going on because there are other symptoms that might make a diagnosis easier. I sure appreciate all the replies! THANK YOU!!

    Need recommendation for a Carb for better MPG!

    My tach weirdly stopped working so I'll have to get that up and running again to answer the rpm question but as I remember, I do think it was about 2200@65.

    Need recommendation for a Carb for better MPG!

    I think the real end is 323 and unknown about compression. Not able to test that myself. I will look into the lean thing. Thank You!

    Need recommendation for a Carb for better MPG!

    OK, I get it. My expectations were probably a bit absurd.
  25. Valveguy

    Need recommendation for a Carb for better MPG!

    OK, I can appreciate that, thank you! Yes, it probably needs a tune up. I'm not a mechanic but I want to learn so I'll take any and all tune-up tips you might have. It was sitting for a while before I started driving it again. I had a 2brl 318 in an automatic Duster as a kid and could get 25-26...

    Need recommendation for a Carb for better MPG!

    I have a 5-speed 72 Dodge Demon with a 340, Edelbrock 1406. Looking for possible recommendations for a carburetor that might give me better mpg. I've recently been able to drive as a simi-daily driver but it's hard to get much better than about 17 mpg driving like Miss Daisy! I would be happy...

    Demon won't start

    I looked under the hood of my Demon and sure enough, I could tell the dual ballast resistor was shot. It looks like it's been there since 1972, is fairly loose and I can tell that something inside of it is broken. The connective wires were allso pretty loose so I tightened them and then tried...

    Demon won't start

    After I get the ballast, would it be worth updating the coil or should I run it until it dies? Thanks again for all of that great insight!!
