As some on the list may remember I had a '76 1500 Midget that I bought for Peg to run around town in. It was a clean little car that had a bunch of little things wrong mechanically, lots of them beca

I agree with Barney here. Sounds like you have the later model OD tranny that doesn't have a dipstick and doesn't fill from the top. It wants the 1000 turns per mile (TPM) speedo. You have a 1280 TPM

Depends on how good the glue joint is and how much strength is left in the original vinyl (?) fabric. IOW, will the fabric tear or will the glue let go when you try to peel the fabric off the header

Your arithmatic is OK but your assumption of "economy car" mpg is too conservative, in my experience. I've owned several of the things, of different makes. If any of them dropped to 30 mpg, I'd be l

You might try a crowfoot wrench on your torque wrench and use the low end of the spec. The running weak and backfiring sounds more like timing probs or maybe a couple of plug wires are crossed. Cheer
