1st Tank of Gas - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Well I just filled up the tank again 2nd time @ 3.01 / gallon
so the 1st tank the ol beast got 9.5 MPG ( most in-town )
and I know I can improve on that , the idle is too high , have no idea what
the plugs look like or where the timing is at
so after plugs(if needed) and adj. ( carb & timing ) I'll add an ignitor to the distributor
and a bit down the road maybe a 3" single exhaust w/small tube headers
its got a Q-jet so I gotta keep my foot out of it
anybody else give a rip about fuel economy ?
