edelbrock e street
Has anyone installed this system on a dent ?? I'm looking at the return-less model. Hope to improve the mpg so I can continue to drive my truck on a daily basis.

You're driving a "brick" to begin with, at least gas is $2.79/gal right now, but seriously...
What did you expect....

You could get an air/fuel ratio gauge and tune you carb.

Don't expect miracles by going EFI... maybe 3 to 4 mpg at best IMO. As Montana Highboy stated, these rigs are aerodynamic bricks. Each mod can net some MPG but there is a point of diminishing returns based on dollar input.
At $3 per gallon and 10 MPG it nets 30 cents per mile. At 14 mpg, the marginal "savings" is 9 cents per mile. The payback is almost 28,000 miles!

HIO Silver I will watching for your install --looking for mpg and drivability (don't know if that's spelled right )

Then keep an eye on my '70 build. I'm finishing up modifying the trans crossmember, then moving on to the front half of the exhaust since the E-Street requires an 02 sensor, then installing the E-Street kit along with the front end electricals.
