Hand filled tank 1 gallon at a time till overflowed. Ops. Drove it. Refilled it by hand to the top one gallon at a time. Took just over 7 gallons.. 104 miles .14.2 Mpg. Not bad for out of the box carb. IMO.

Not too shabby for a 408 either14.2 Mpg. Not bad for out of the box carb. IMO.
Yeah. It’s why I went to a 20 gallon cell. Figured even at 10-12 mpg, I can hit 200 miles. But I’ve got room since I’m not carrying a spare tire inside the trunk to add another 10-15 gallon small cell and as a reserve. Hence that selector switch I got from you years agoBut given this mileage just 200 miles on a tank not too good...
Several big hills I went up. The kind where trucks slow to 40mph or slower. Flew up no problem...Not too shabby for a 408 either
I will have a reserve tank in the trailer I'll be pulling...35 gallons...Yeah. It’s why I went to a 20 gallon cell. Figured even at 10-12 mpg, I can hit 200 miles.

Looks like crap, need to pull the engine and give it to me.Pulled plugs. They all look like this. 160 miles. What does the pros think? Looks good to me. But I'm just a backyard mech.
