Re: Swapped Carbs, have ?

Well, you tell me - summertime I get near 20mpg freeway out of a double-pumper Holley, in my truck that is. I drive also at 1/4 throttle, and I usually I drive barefoot cause that's the only way I feel the gas pedal good enough to maintain a steady speed, that's how sensitive the thing is. I was in TX for the whole last month, came back to a truck buried under a huge pile of snow, dug truck out, engine fired right up. Never had a no-start situation, never had it stall on me, even when offroading (my carb ain't mean to go at crazey angles). Tis all about how you adjust it man, I'd only swap mine out for a badass-tuned Q-jet.
