[VAC] Re: Vintage Puller

Dear Dr. G.
        I can only do the best that I can.  In Oceanside we have one of the best carb and vacuum guys I have ever seen.  He's going over the Camper Special.  I like the tire idea and have had success in my teenage years of increasing gas mileage using that technique.
The dual exhausts may help and as you point out the A/C removal will also.  I have this confident feeling that I can get some increase using these measures.  From 10 up to 14 mpg would be a 40% increase.  It's the difference between a 600 mile range and an 840 mile range on my 60 gallon tanks.

Goodness, I'll be able to go all the way to Loreto in the Baja on one fillup :)  I find that the vehicle runs most smoothly at about 60mph which will keep me from being a traffic hazard.
