I've been working with several fellows regarding fuel mileage. One engine is a 296, L-100 cam and C4. 3200lb car gets 20 plus MPG on the open road and about 12 in town. Another is a 276, l-100, std/OD, 37 4Dr. 18/14 mpg and I still have some under test. Trying to get accurate results is up to the owner/driver and trust. I no longer make these conversions and must rely on others to manufacture the conversions. Unfortunately not all engines are the same and there is no one dist fits all. Most carbs are junk, even after professional rebuilt. Case in point two pro. built 97's were replaced with the new English 97's. Performance and mileage was up in both cases. I do this because I like to help and the findings are free, do what you want with them.
