Hi, I converted myself some time ago, and had some snags too. Check your feul pressure, what kind of pump are you using? Pressure should be about 2lbs. I switched to a different electric feul pump with a pressure regulator, but I'm planning to dump that for a stock mechanical pump soon. Are you using the original distributor? If you switched to a 009 or other, you're timing may be off. Also check your driving habits. Remember, you've got *two* accelerator pumps squirting away whenever you step on the gas, so a steadier right foot helps. My two cents, anyway. G'luck!

I have a '73 Automatic that just convertered from Fuel Injection to Webber 34pct dual carburetor a month ago. I notice the mileage is not the same as Fuel Injection. I would say roughly on my dual carburetor gas mileage would be like 16 MPG. At around 170 miles, I need to fill it up while on the fuel injection roughly 240 miles cover the trip. I did not changed the fuel line from fuel injection to carburetor fuel hose. Would it makes a different? If I changed the fuel line? Yes, I did tuned up the carburetor and the motor is rebuilted. Please let me know before I start heading back to school pretty soon. Thanks...
