Just went down to Denver yesterday and on the way home stopped to see my grandfather. He was cleaning out the garage when i pulled up and gave me a few things like and engine stand and a Fish Carburetor. He said he got 22mpg out of a 410? olds motor. Anybody ever heard of these carbs and their reliability/power/ridiculous mpg ratings? All the articles Ive dug up keep talking about 100+ mpg off most any V8.
