Rob Sartorius,
If you figure out how to get better mileage than that let me know
because I have an '81 with 351W and c6 and 3.50 gears and I get about 8or 9
miles to the gallon and cant seem to make it any better either. Yes they are
equipped with an o2 sensor. >>

It's possible to get better. I have a "83 Ford Bronco with a 351W, C-6, and
3:55
gears and get 12 MPG on the highway and 10 around town in stop and go.
What carb and computer system do you have (EEC-III or EEC-IV) ?

I have a two barrel holley carb and the EEC-III system.

Troy,

This trick has been used for years and seems to work well. Tranny
fluid is slightly acidic and will clean out stuff pretty good. Although
I've seen "gunk" on a tranny pan before, I've never seen varnish or
gunk buildup in a tranny unless it was burnt up. An even better thing
to use is Marvel Mystery Oil. Its one heck of a solvent thats been
used for this type of stuff for longer than most of us have been alive.
It isn't a snake oil/cure-all that Snake 50, Duraboob, Motorchump, etc.
claim to be, its just a good cleaner/solvent. Its the best thing I've
heard of for freeing stuck lifters too.
