    Don, no I am not running FI, and the my record reflects it. I have a HO 350, Edelbrock 600 carb, TH400 Trans, 2.73 rear gears (81 Vette) and get about 12 on the hiway and 8 - 10 around town. Have gotten as high as 18 on an interstate running about 70 mph with a tailwind. I don't run as much as I used to, but if and when I do again, the first thing I think I will change is the Th400 to a 200R, and then take a look at some aftermarket FI's. There are several that are supposed to be fairly easy to install and reasonably priced.

    Although FI will give you better mileage and a longer life engine, I love carbs too much to cut and run just yet.

    hydrogen fuel

     



    Back in the 50's in high school we separated Hydrogen and oxygen by filling 2 bottles with salt water then inserting an electrode in each then turning them upside down in another tub of salt water... turn on the dc power and it bubbled up 2 times as much hydrogen as oxygen the new system bubbles up bothe oxygen and hydrogen in the same container... JPL in pasedena CAlif normally works on space projects for the government but in the 70's they did automotive research...added hydrogen to a lean mixture and got quite an increase in fuel milage. the hydrogen makes the gasoline burn more efficiently. A lean gasoline mixture is hard to ignite. the hydrigen acts like the match to start the combustion fire. I looked at a site a while back that wanted to sell you the manual for $50 but if you read their questions and answers you should be able to figure out how to build one
