Sure it's not running lean now as 5mpg just like that doesn't sound healthy unless you were running very rich prior!

will get some pics of the abortion of a supposed stainless exhaust as well up.no wonder car ran crap.blowing everywhere and induction kit never helped.lucky that the early classics were set up from factory to run on the rich side.
