Re: Re: [T3] Woodburn show and drags


Talk about darksider.  Back in the late 70's with my 67SB with a Corvair 140
hp in it, I got 24-25 on trips, and it didn't seem to matter how fast I
went.  Although my average speed was probly around 65-70.  That was back in
the days of 55.  I would certainly expect an FI  engine to do better.  And
that was correct as I too used mile markers, etc.  That was about the same
mileage the 140 Corvair eng. would get in the Car it came with, so I wasn't
that surprised.
