I am currently returning ~18 mpg... and I drive rather gently.

Besides a twitchy front end and a somewhat dragging front caliper, I cannot justify this terrible mileage.

-Engine has excellent compression
-trans is responsive but shifting improperly
-valves, timing and engine mechanicals are set.

Since the recent timing I did, I have not been able to set the linkages very well. (FSM sucks for '85 cali engines) Could they cause poor mileage to this degree? Could the trans Bowden cable cause this as well?

What are some effective methodologies for adjusting the Cali throttle linkages?
