Welp...
All the mechanicals are now complete.
Paced for hours buttoning the last of the details.
Finally attempted a start. Plenty of cranking but no fireup.
Only electrical I touched was the column. Replaced ignition and turn signal wiring. All other remains the same.
Frustrated to say the least.
Will start going thru testing procedure.
But overall I am burned out and need a break.
Ecstatic about progress thus far. "Transition" started about 12 years ago now.
Short pause but will figure it out.

LOL! My '67 Valiant, 340, 4 speed, 3:91SG could often see less than 10 mpg- and that's an Imperial gallon of 160 ozs not the American 132. It depended how much you liked to hear the engine rev, who/what was beside you and how heavy your right foot felt. In my opinion, if you're getting 12+ you're probaly pretty average. Some will get more and some will get less. Price of admission and the reason the overdrive guys are in business.  :cheers:

I figure it's just additional exposure.  Not sure how often MP is visited anymore

Sounds about right, 340/518/3.73/60mph = 16.5
That's with OD, so it matches yours.

Same exact car, swapped in 5.7 for the 340, 150 more HP and now gets 20mpg.
