 Billy,

 I'll dig out a MoToRs and see what it show, but in reality, the shop manual 
problem shows the same, anyway, I'll see I I can find out anything...I can 
tell you than many folks (dealers too) added a 1/8th line off the oil 
pressure to the cannister, and routed it around the the pass. side if the 
head to feed the top end.

  As far as MPG's go, what I can tell you is this...

 When I ran the 4.11's and short (about 27inch tires) at 3000rpms on the 
highway I got 14.5 mpgs, with 30.5 tall tires and a 3.54 rear, at 3000 rpms  
I still get 14.5mpg.

  If I slow it down to about 2600-2700, I get about 16mpg.  

  Gonna have to fix that speedometer someday:)  I keep forgetting the MPH's 
I've calculated to the RPM's..so now I just go by the tach.
