Re: Mileage?
I dunno what the 454 gets for mileage in the 76. I do know it drank gas like a camel at the only watering hole in the Sahara when it was in the 87 3/4 ton. 16 gallons to go 40 miles isnt good by any stretch.
What I can do is make some changes, rebuild the Qjet, and get everything working right, tune it, and see what it gets for mileage this summer. See how much I can squeeze out of a smogger 454 and 3.73 gears. I would do it now, but its cold out there, I am trying to pay off the bill on my 'race' engine repair, and still keep the house warm. But around May or June I can get plates for it, swap the cam, springs, and intake, then drive it for a while and see what it gets..
and of course let all of you know what works and what doesnt.
