OK - it's time for some schooling.

My 75 Blazer is just about finished in terms of bodywork, interior etc etc.
its been ticking over nicely for a couple of years now and I haven't needed to get myself involved at ALL with the mechanical side of things - head gasket went and a mechanic fixed that. There is an oil leak, and that needs to be fixed but its not real bad, and I suspect that the exhaust manifold isn't sealed properly where it joins the engine from the sound. None of this has been an issue as its a mall crawler, never leaves our town and it most strenuous use is taking kids for ice cream or to soccer games half a mile away.

However, it's now at the point where I think I need to investigate and see what I actually have, and what can be improved - especially as I'm getting 7 miles to the gallon.

So - low hanging fruit first - I need to figure all relevant engine and carb specs? It's a 350 V8 small block but that's as much as I know right now.

This will be a learning process for me - its time for school.
