Hows your gas mileage?
 
I have a stock 74 T-Top with a 350 base engine, Turbo 400 auto and stock rear gears, I get 14 miles to the gallon, hows your car do?

Gas milage???? Ha, Ha,.....That's a good one pg, you funny!:D
Seriously, normal hiway speeds, about the same, maybe low as 12. I have 3.07:1 rear gears, but the M-22 seams to be geared low.

Thanks Starship, I'm planing a ride to the mountains in north west NC, so I'll just plan on 5 tanks of fuel.

Do you want upwind or down wind per gal. PG ? Last time I checked on my 68 with manual and 327 was about 30 years ago. Was about 11 in town and 15 on highway. Get alot of complements on car though when spending alot of time at gas stations!! Stay off highways because I do not want to end up being put back together with plastic glue with my oldie!
