and before you say you expect 12, keep in mind that 12 on the highway is with EVERY SQUARE INCH of the vehicle in like new condition.
So seriously, don't expect good gas mileage out of a fucking tank like that hoss. Instead, see about a gas reimbursment for what gas you do use at work.

I have been checking on putting a turbo between the carb and intake and with research this is capable of increasing fuel economy and power. It takes some serious modification to mount, but a guy who did it to his 70's model 318ci Dodge pick up found that it increased his fuel economy from 17 to 29 miles per gallon at 7 psi. I Am still checking on the spacifics and looking for a small turbo for my own experiment on a 1979 1500 triumph spitfire. It makes sence that jthe turbo would better atomize the fuel/ air mix but I am concerned with the blowoff being a little flamable. I am not an engineer nor do I have a death wish. Does anyone have any I deas on this. It may be a little too much work on an old Ford.
Umnitza now provides a mechanic to install all parts ordered right in the box! It's their new "Total customer service program" that will eliminate all the haters and keep incompetents from breaking **** and blaming the vendor! When you are all set simply call INS and they will pick him up free of charge.
