MPGs

[Ricky B]

Yup, I did what is sometimes called elsewhere the '6 Liter Tune-Up', which costs about $130.00 (depending on your shopping skills) and it should kick your mileage up by at least 12---16%. It works great on the 302's & 351's. Basically it entails new Autolite 25's gapped at .055", a high quality dizzy cap and rotor ( I used Accel), 9mm plug wires (I used FMS from Summit) and a MSD #8227 coil. You install all of these components, and THEN bump up your base timing from 10 degrees BTDC to about 13.5 degress BTDC---with the SPoUt connector removed. On my '87 with a new crate 302 I went from 10/14 to about 12/17 mpgs.

If you need more help or info, feel free to ask away.......:biggthumpup:
