Gas Mileage is poor
I have a 69 shortbed Chevy stepside with a 250 and factory carb. In fact it's all original but for new paint and body work. I get 11 1/2 mpg. I had a 70 stepside with a 395 and got about the same mileage. Is this all I can expect from the 250 6 cyl engine? Maybe I used too heavy a paint ?
I have a Holley 8053 Economaster I was thinking of putting on. Would this help or be a mistake? |
