10 MPG!! Thanks everybody!

[vacaisle]

When I got the truck I was getting 7MPG and thanks to everybody here helping me with carb/idle/emissions/vacuum stuff I now get 10MPG. Once I get the EGR on and readjust the timing back to 12* (maybe 14*) I might even get 10.5!
Thanks!

10?? sheesh...i'm looking for whats wrong if it dips down to 12.....

...pretty much.

[vacaisle]

All right, all right. Well 10 is much better than 7. Not to mention I do almost 100% city driving, lots of stop and go traffic. I'm still working on it anyways.

That would equate to 12-ish on the highway. You're pretty close.

I get 13.2 mpg religiously and drive ~95mi / day mixed city and hwy.

J10 SB AMC 360 w/TF727

I think a loss of 18-20% is a bit too steep just to call it a loss to city driving. There should be some fairly large issues at work here that can be easliy checked. You're on the right road keep going until you get above 12 at least.

Agreed with a 360/AT dragging a 4500 FSJ in stop-n-go city driving I wouldn't expect much better. At least you're in the double digits now.

My '79 CHIEF........new , out of the box, got 10-12

[vacaisle]
