With 3.05 gears and 33's I'm not surprised you have the pedal buried.

Re: What's your MPG?

65 with a SB 350 paired with an SM420 4 speed.

I'm not sure about miles per gallon...but I do stop for fuel an awful lot for some reason.

Re: What's your MPG?

I know once upon a time my SWB 402/400TH got 10 MPG. Since then it's been punched out with HP 396 heads. Without caring to check probably 8-9 MPG. Pretty bad, but we don't drive original engines for the MPG

Much of the info. applies to all 67-72 GM trucks, and to a lessor degree all 67-72 GM vehicles. My build thread, and more on the guide https://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/...d.php?t=730025
