I may not have figured it right, but my math told me the it only required about 2-3 hp to run the Ken Davis A/C. I have a 6:1 Snyder head, B carb, and the only indication I get when the compressor kicks in is when I am at idle. RPM drops slightly. At driving speeds I can not tell except by looking at ammeter. It is not notable at all at any driving speed. I get about 16-19 mpg cruising at 60 mph depending on head winds or hills.About 16 in town driving in my Fordor
