Wasn't these an LS1 (with multipoint distrib. on front of engine)? How were you able to put a carb on it? Can you post pic's!


78 k5
Goodwrench 350 crate
TH350/NP203
3:08 gears ( Ihaven't Checked for sure or not, since a shop screwed up my 4:56 gears and Possi.
35x12.5R15 on 15x10
9 mpg with or without trailer...... on or off road/ freeway..... without my top I got better gas milage

caprice through 93 was a regular old Gen 1 SBC (w/TBI), then, in 94(till 96) they went to a LT1, with the optispark distrubutor in front(just so you know, all it take to carb a LT1 is the correct intake(gm performance parts) , a carb, and a old school HEI distributor)

Got to be easier on the LOUD PEDAL . My carb is all messed up and 10 mpg would be pshing it half the way. Need a new Carb. Quadra bog just isn't cutting it with cam and lifters and minor porting. I have an edelbrock 600 but it needs to be rebuilt. Should do that I guess and try it.

about 8mpg

Which would really hurt on gas at $4.78AUD gal, as it is propane works out at $1.71AUD

i think i see a trend with the diesels ... why dont more people go to diesels then?

 

[1-bad-burb]

well, with my combo I will soon be needing a new floorboard from that pesky gas pedal always pounding on it I'm keeping my eyes open for a 6.5TD to swap into my burb when the 6.2 gives out (wont be anytime soon)
