R16/1 removed.

There is absolutely no doubt that it has more torque at low rpm. In fact, starting in second gear is not an issue under just about any circumstance, despite the 2.47. It quickly climbs in revs and the manifold vacuum stays consistently higher.

Filled the tank for the new test without the resistor.

487 miles on 20.37 gallons.

Back up to: 23.91 combined city/highway.


Without the resistor, I fully expect it to hit 25 combined. We'll see.

See if the 420 will ever reach that...........
