check that the distributor is installed correctly .. NOT 180 degree out.
next check that the camshaft and crankshaft are in time.
check that the Vacuum advance is NOT stuck RE-Tard-ed (stupid editor) will not let me spell the Re-Tard-ED word., and is receiving vacuum.
stuck float in carburetor
dragging brakes. one or all.
and I understand bad gas mileage.. my 1965 Impala SS 409 with 4:11 gears got 8 on a good day... with a 4 speed transmission and (2) 4 bbl's.
but this thing has REAL problems... get working on it.. Thank You.
and AS STATED already.. duel Tanks.. Check them...
