Re: 12 mpg Help!!

If the th350 has a 9in tailshaft it will swap easy with the 700r4. The transmission crossmemeber will need to be moved back for the 700r4 trans mount. You can reuse your stock transmission crossmember if its the over under type.

Re: 12 mpg Help!!

Ok yeah mylilbowtie is right. If your TH350 has the 9 inch tailshaft then you fit a 700R4 in there with the above mention of moving the crossmember.

It is the cars with the 6 inch tailshaft TH350 that can use the 200R4.

Back to the MPG thing. I am still working on getting it tuned right I may have taken 2 steps forward and now one step back. I bought the holley projection unit. I found one on ebay that was tested and working. It's used but it should work. I don't know when I will get to the install of it but I will keep everyone posted on how it goes.

Re: 12 mpg Help!!

That can mess up a carb. I have never tried it but it is alot like alcohol.
