So I've been messing around with fuel mileage measurements. The numbers I've gotten so far have been all over the place due to several factors,. One of the main problems was that I was not driving far enough so that any minor difference in filling up would have a significant effect on the outcome. Anyway, I think I have a fairly accurate measurement now that is 14.5 mpg @ 65 mph average speed. That's over a 156 mile distance. That's not as great as I hoped for, but not too bad. After talking with Cliff, this carb may be a little rich on the primaries. I should have the other carb back together soon to Cliff specs with the kit he sent me and we'll see how that does.

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
