I just went from a 500 Carter to a Quadrajet on my Pontiac......much better mileage with the Quad...........But, then again, the 500 could have used a rebuild.Home Handyman Forum

The carb is actually the last thing that causes low mileage, assuming it's set up right. Cam, C.R., gears, firm skinny tires, wheel alignment, brake drag adjusted out, all make more difference than you'll gain from a smaller or different make carb.

Looks like I spoke too soon, I have a considerable doubt this site will ever recover and I don't think those in charge just don't give a damn, prove me wrong.
Where is everybody?
