Need classic car advice

Any reason for that? And it's a 1971 Valiant. Daily I drive (both ways) is about 2 miles in 35mph, 4 miles in 65mph, the rest in 55mph roads.

Does this mean a 318 would bet better mileage depending on carb?

>Then why is my slant 6 only getting 15mpg?
this depends entirely on your intake setup.
What's the displacement of your slant?

Much nicer and more usable classics than some obese pile of boomer trash.

>Any reason for that?
Because most people tune the carbs for more power.
Keep in mind the 225 is a 3.7 liter engine.

Is that possibly stop and go driving? Ive read a lot about slant 6's sucking gas while a properly tuned 318 can get around 20. You could have too big of a carb on it as well?

Those are hair dresser cars. Only a classic by years, but they have no value to most people.

I'll have to check what it has in the day, but there's another in the trunk. I think it has a 1v on it now. I do some stop and go but it's mainly 2 to 4 miles stretches of 65 or 55. I will admit it's less continuous stretches than when I'd go to college (which were three 10-15mi stretches of 55 or 65 but in a car that got 43mpg), but my commute each way to 12 to 20min (depending on if I drive lunch)

As for 318, how expensive/how much work to put one in?

>1v
Autolite?
How heavy of a foot do you usually need to give it?

you can go the other way and get more power and that way you won't need to give it so much gas to keep moving, you know what i mean?

fuck it bro, get the crew cab and its future proofed because you can put your seed back there

Not...TOO heavy, though the kickdown linkage is missing so it's in 3rd at 20mph unless I move the shifter to 2.

There's a 2v in the trunk, though I'm not sure it'll fit the same manifold.
