Re: Project "Sweet 16"

Thanks rockasilly, Sorry no pics for awhile. Truck made it to Springfield and back with absolutely no issues (300mi). Right now I have the carb apart on the bench waiting for new jets and metering rods. We decided to run 1.5 stages leaner on primaries and 1 stage leaner on secondaries. should help with the milage, I'm sure it was running too rich.

Truck averaged 15.3mpg all the way to springfield and back, that was cruizing 60-65mph with 3.73 gears and no bed. If i can get a shorter rear gear and lean the carb a bit, that number should go up.
