add a photo of the carb, front left...

I still not sure if it is a feedback carb, which will be needed with the computer system

EDIT ... never mind... I reread this thread and in post #23 he states he has a TPS on the carb, which was used on a feedback carb

Stripped and seized bolts and screws have really dragged everything out.
The fastest and cheapest way to fix the 4 mpg issues is to add a manual choke, about $10 at autozone.

Jim - I think he just mentioned 4 MPG as acceptable, not that he's getting 4 MPG. I'm not sure he's even been able to measure MPG as I don't believe he has it on the road yet.
