70 351W. Edelbrock Performer 1405 carb and intake. Mallory distributor and ignition. MSD Blaster 2 coil.
since the valve job, the car has been running really well. but i'm only getting around 12-12.5 mpg. back in the 80's and 90's, with the original setup - points, condensor 2bbl Autolite carb - i averaged between 14 and 15 mpg, sometimes more.
i'm not concerned so much about the extra few dollars to run the Cougar. just curious if this is normal for my setup, or is the lower mpg an indication of some other problem. yes, the 1405 is a 4 bbl carb but i rarely get into it to involve the secondaries. appreciate your thoughts-
