$14 for just one plug, dang!

So you didn't run it any to see the MPH I guess?

MPH=80 max

MPG=14.6 max observed. With better timing and gearing I'm still confident we can find 25 under the right conditions.

Oh BTW, on this year's Power Tour, with a corrected distributor and 3.55:1 rear gear, we trip-averaged 15.8 mpg for 3100 miles and saw 2 tankfuls over 23mpg. I was so stunned by the first one I figured I had screwed up the numbers or fill-ups somehow until I got the second one. We had more than a few 17's and a couple 19's as well.  :2thumbs:

Still, the mechanical distributor is the killer. Tip-in detonation forces me to run a richer mixture than I'll be able to squeeze out of the electronic ignition control.

Dang again!...that's about $625 in gas @ $3.19 a gallon for the cheap stuff.

Still, you can make more money and have the memories. :2thumbs:

GP I wish I'd have known you're near Dayton, I drive past on I-75 a couple times a year (tho not this year in the Charger) Shoot me some contact info PM and I'll check in next time, probably this fall.
