Re: Another fuel economy check with my '65 one ton

Okay, I took some video of the truck running with the new tach, and posted on youtube:

Video 1 - Just fired it up, cold; adjusting the choke

Video 2 - Revving it up a bit (not sure what the "pop" is when I first depress the accelerator - I'm open to input)

Video 3 - Hearing it from under the hood

I'm now subscribed to you on Youtube. lol Thanks for the vids. That tach is reading right...Your idle is set pretty perfect...most of the 6 cylinders idled at 450-600 rpm....my 292 that was in my 64 idle at 500 rpm. Reving past 2500 in neutral makes it sound like its screaming. lol But under load that changes...I rev mine up to about 3500 in 3rd...sometimes 4300...cause 4th is another huge drop. Look forward to the driving video.
