So you think it's OK? I read a little of that article, haven't had much of a chance. Not really sure where to go from here. I did talk to my friend jc, he said the lack of vacuum in gear could possibly be the cam. After some maths, I found I am still getting ~17mpg.
17 mpg in a TURBO CAR (that you can "FEEL the EXCITEMENT
shove you back in the seat")...is THAT what's botherin' ya??
DAHUM man....I have a "warmed over B230f" *N/A* that I get 24
to 26 mpg if I play NICE and 20-22 mpg if I go all hooligan on the
two lane blacktop....
*PICK YER POISON*...either put a raw egg under your gas pedal
and tip-toe around town - *OR* learn to live with the GREAT FUN of
sucking unsuspecting "other brand drivers" into the educational benefits
of NEVER underestimating a "grandpa car" again....hee, hee....
I just inherited a 1989 245 (M47...etc) that is gonna have to stand in for
the 1993 "Special Edition 245" that I REALLY wanted to use as the basis
for a sleeper deluxe....(LSx and T5....cranked suspension and meaty boy
tyres)....the "ultimate DRAGON WAGON" (at least for me)....coming to a
high road near you in late 2014....in basic white and no "outward signals"
that it hath a HUGE heart....my final "car project" as I'm starting to get
"cripped up" due to advancing arthur-itis ("Is that damned Greek here again...??
)
carry on old son...carry on.....
