Jay,
I get about 23-25 in city. Part of this may be that the carb is
older than the car and may need replacing. Also, my compression
ratio is really low and I think the engine was overcammed for the
relatively stock state it's in. (Gotta love those POs). I'll let
you know when the Piper 270 goes in its place.
I've been really pleased with Brit-Tek. The only mistake they've
made with my orders has been to send me a set of six-leaf springs
when the rear suspension kit I ordered was supposed to come with the
seven-leaf units. One call, and they sent me the correct ones, later
sending UPS out to pick up the incorrect ones. Bob is definitely not
just an order-taker--he's been able to answer some pretty unusual
questions for me.
