So that's it. Why I'm asking this question is because people ask what cam it has? I dont know, some people told me it sounded like a 30-30 cam. Don't know what that is? So I thought it was stock but apparently it was changed with the motor rebuild.

2.5" exhaust and disc in front yes.

Welcome to CHR!

The exhaust sounds like it's fairly open (Flowmaster 40 or similar with headers?) and some work has been done internally which may have included a cam with a bit longer cycle/duration. Do you know the cfm on the carb? 600-650 is fine, anything bigger will definitely consume more fuel and probably not contribute to performance. When you say you ran the numbers - are you talking the casting number of the block or the numbers stamped on the pad on the passenger side of the block?

12.5mpg overall may not be that bad - considering the weight of the vehicle and the rear-end ratio is fairly tall to get things moving. Have you done a freeway drive, say 200-300 miles at 55-70mph? My insides tell me you'll see a dramatic improvement in mpg (say 16-20mpg).

My two cents,
Glenn

I'm trying to uploads pics but they won't upload. It is a performer quadrajet so it's not that great. I think about 600cfm.

It has exhaust manifolds and dual pipes with 16" glasspacks. I will keep trying to upload pics.

Seems like someone else mentioned that they had to hit a ten post threshold before they could post pictures, something about keeping the spammers out?

Oh I see, well I have the pics waiting. I will upload as soon as it hits 10

Littlechevy, I'll trust that you don't think I was harsh in my reply, I've been accused of not being very "diplomatic" but, the question your seeking an answer to can only be reached 2 ways. And sound isn't one of them.

You've got a great car there and you've found a great resource here as there is a bunch of knowledge that many here love to share with those willing to learn.

And thanks for the pics!!! We all love pics so you've earned huge points there!

Keep coming back and share your vision of the car, we enjoy having you here with such a cool ride.

Oh okay, thanks haha! One more post and I can show you guys pics
