    Well we had to put a new carb on our wagon yesterday.A new original equipment type was over 500.00:slap:

    So I bought a Edelbrock 600 CFM universal carb,and boy it woke that old wagon up. Now to see if I can sneak a 455 Olds engine by my wife.:evilsmile:

    A 455 in that wagon should get at least 9 mpg. Probably 11-12 on the highway. It's not the gas but the feeling of P-O-W-E-R!:D

    Oh my little brain. How about a new kind of Fuel Gauge? Digital. You fill her up, dial in the price you just paid and as you drive, it tells you how much each Mile cost? Bet the Oilco's would oppose the Patent! :D
