WHAT ? Somebody else is still running an old bugsprayer carb? I thought I was the only one left still using an original 55 carb.
I get about a 250 mile range on a tank of gas with 292, Ford-O-Matic and rearend ratio is 3.22:1 which was pretty common. Yes it still has the original load-o-matic distributor & points. But my car still has 6 volt electric system, so I probably won't ever change it.
