Why such crappy mileage Pugsy? You should get around 17 with oyur set up I would say..


I have no idea . The plugs look good and its running smooth. Maybe I should look at using the 700r4.

My setup is like this right now:

350 with flat top 4 valve relief pistons .040 over
Approx. 9-1 comp. ratio
World S/R heads
RV cam
3:40 gears
30.5" tires
TH 350 non lockup tranny
2-1/2 " single exhaust with cat

If this is better than what you are getting ,you have my deepest sympathies. :'(
I purposely drove around without laying on it heavy. I only stomped on it one time through the last tank.

I get 5-8 mpg in town...2.73 gears + bad modulator valve + slow moving town traffic = crap mileage. I regularly get stuck behind cars that are in a dead zone for speed for me..sitting in first gear running 25-30 mph at 3500-4k rpm for extended periods of time, or 45-50 mph in 2nd gear at 4k rpm.

Thought about dual exhaust or larger single exhaust? Not sure if it would help, but it might..

Pugsy, invest in a cheap scan tool. Auto X-ray or Acutron or the like. you need to look at you computers datastream. The Win ALDL software that I have seen is kind of crap and a PITA for most applications.  I recommend a decent hand held Scan tool. Anyway the 700R4 is a great upgrade. just for the heck of it, what's your fuel pressure key on engine off / key one engine running. Does it bleed down whe you shut the engine off?

Forgot to mention that I still don't have an EGR valve solenoid. Can't find one anywhere in Canada or the US. They are still back ordered from China. :-\
I get an EGR code after about 15 minutes of cruising.

Forget about the exhaust for now.
Sounds like you should change your modulator valve if that's the reason behind your insane RPM's. Its cheap and simple to do.

EGR solenoid won't change fuel economy. I can get you a solenoid tomorrow if you want.

Can you check your suppliers to see if they have it. I'm curious to see if they have it. I'd like to have everything running to stock conditions. Thanks.

I'll try a couple more, but Ive called a couple of guys in the States, they say they have one until I tell them I want it and they can't find it anywhere but in their computer.

My NAPA dealer told me there's none to be found or else he could order one for me.

I'll make a few more calls tommorow.

These guys don't ship to Canada.
Parts America Online doesn't ship to Canada either but I went through the order process and they don't have stock either.

I was referring to YOUR exhaust, have you thought about installing duals? I've already got dual 2.25" exhaust w/ cats and glasspacks on mine. Changing the modulator valve is a matter of me being lazy, its been like this since I bought it in late summer/early fall of last year.
