<VV> 110 / PG mileage was Please post...

Dave,
    Try converting the stock pressure retard to vacuum  advance with 
provision for pressure retard (or detonation sensing to retard the  timing).  When I 
did that in my 180 on the long drive everday to work and  back, my mileage 
increased by over 20%.  But this of course assumes that  you can "keep your foot 
OUT of it" for much (not all) of the  time.<GGGG>

I get 23  MPG in my 63 Spyder (top & windows up) on the highway measured with
a  GPS and my "mathematician" buddy. We did it on the 100 mile trip  coming
home from the convention. I get MUCH lower MPG on the streets  because I
can't keep my foot out of it.
