Default Re: Miles Per Gallon

The first rebuild of my engine when I first restored the car only got 15 mpg, only went 52 mph, when the rear main crumbled at 3000 miles I replaced the sunken valve seats, and replaced worn original cam with a "B"cam that showed little wear, ---same distributor,carburetor, manifolds , rods, pistons head, etc,--- made all the difference, top speed went to 67,fuel mileage went over 20
