woodrow that isn't acceptable. You should be knocking down 20MPG without too much effort. Our '29 Tudor got that all day long.

My suggestion---- call Bert's in Denver and get one of their professionally rebuilt Zenith carbs with properly flow rated jets. Of course double check your timing, points, etc. but when it comes to carbs a really well done Zenith is hard to top. Unless you are lucky enough to score a Marvel carb but they are a Zenith design anyway!

Let us know what you find out.
