Jack,
So true about Mopar and MPG. My Stock 65 formula S (273 v8 4bbl, single
plane intake, mechanical valve train) best mpg is around 15 with 12 more the
norm. Ferd 289s seemed to be at the 18-20mpg range in the same year. Boo
Hoo... Gas is expensive in San Diego (1.25/gal for reg unleaded) ANd I DONT
CARE ! Lets see, If I spend 150.00/month on gas @ 12 mpg, then at 24 mpg (4
cylinder territory) id spend 75.00/month. 75.00 X 12 = 900.00 bucks.
Would I trade 900.00/year to double my horsepower? In a millisecond.
God I love this country...
