I think I am a bit shy from spinning few times at track and almost did a 180 gunning it on ramp going onto I-17. Age is catching up with me / us. Time to get a Mustang go fast with nice seats, and Air.
Maybe trade someone of old man car.  |

I seem to get about 10 mpg. Most driving is on country roads so am not
blazing but do enjoy getting on it here and there. No gas gage so I watch
the odometer but with a 42 gallon tank don't worry about it and fill it about
every 100 miles. That keeps the sticker shock down when I fill it. 
I am talking about the Kirkham here.

I finally got my car on the road but there is a problem . I can't keep my foot out of it !
I drove 30 miles the other day and fill up was 5.4 gal. ,so the mpg is not good .KC 427W
If gas doubles then I will cry about it . Right now the fun is worth all the money and
time I spend working on the car. Someday I plan to make a 100 mile trip and I think
I could get much better at a constant rpm in o.d. . Right now I don't care how much
gasoline I am burning . It's 1965 all over again I don't pass many gas stations .

There it is! It's about the ride not the $$ in the gas tank..

Some of these reports remind me of hp ratings. Aren't we stretching results a bit? Ha
I had 700 hp until I dynoded and then had 400hp ...whoops

KC stroked 351/427, afr 205 heads ,780 quick fuel on the dyno at KC 533hp 530 tq.
That is with a couple burnouts and other tests . My car has 480 miles and still teething
with all the new car problems . My car is running nasty rich . I need a good carb guy.
I would think tuned right with my 3.50 gears I could get 15 easy . 60 mph bout 2200 r's

Fitz , There should be some Holley gurus in Tyler or Dallas . I installed a 600 cfm Holley today that I had rebuilt for another project and the engine is running much better . Power is down but running better though and no black smoke at crank up. Thanks ,Mike gas mileage should be improved ...... that's nuff of my opinion

Back when my fuel gauge was dead I tracked this stuff pretty carefully and got @16 city and 25hwy...and that wasn't taking it easy, just 'normal' driving. 
Now I have neither speedo nor fuel gauge so I just fill up a lot.

Just got my car back from Bob Reems so I will see if my fuel mileage gets better.
He rebuilt my carb and did my distributer.
It doesn't stink nearly as bad as it did, I use to gage myself at a stop light and forget about running it in the garage.
It runs well but I must say it always ran very smooth, just super stinky.
Now I just need to find $4,000.00 for a Fast fi system or $7,000,00 for a stack fi system.
