    Well~

    I was meaning that as a way to boost fuel economy. I thought you had said that two carbies would help out the consumption of fuel as well as boost HP. No? :confused:

    So Zig, is the math
    1 carb = 10.5 MPG
    2 carbs = 21 MPG
    4 carbs = 42 MPG
    8 carbs = 84 MPG
    ... and so on? :p

    It's a good thing you did not decide to come on up to Oregon. It is snowing in the south central area of Oregon right now. I live in Klamath Falls which is a little town you would go through if you decided to take the short cut and not stay in I-5 the whole way.

    " zoom ~ zoom "

    Whadda ya think the 27 year old , 364,000 mile unrestored Mercedes Diesel Sports Coupe is for ? :p .

    BTW : yes , it really does have speed over 125 MPH in it , I chickened out after 10 minutes @ 125......

    I'm driving my JIMMY to-day , I hate this winter grade fuel as it evaporates overnight but the truck sure runs good and it will be nice this afternoon when the rain starts and all the weenies park their late model trucks and huddle in wretched Toylettas.....

    Maybe I should hook up the original DELCO am.FM radio ? :rolleyes: .

    One of these dayze maybe .
