Well said no it's paid for and it runs better than some new trucks. I do have 3:08 gears with t350 so maybe what I have ant so bad. I have heard of the TPI getting up to 25 to 28 mpgs. Thought TBI to keep it looking old school.
One thing with the holley carb, it is only 9months old and if I drive it too long with out getting into the 4 barrels the gas must get old because it will flood like crazy from the secondaries until I drive it hard than it runs like a champ again. I drive in heavy traffic every day so some time hard to get on it. Plus milage goes in the tank. Thanks from your commets.
