LOL keep a dustpan and brush handy to sweep up what used to be gearbox off the road.Originally Posted by migasson
Humour aside ... the Green Avenger ... a bog standard 88 inch 2.25P was achieving about 16mpg around the burbs and possibly 22mpg w/- overdrive on the highway. As has been said above ... keep the speed down. This will also avoid rapid braking manouvres ... sudden slow downs in a Series Landy from speeds of up to 100km/h or more are a bit of a brown trouser job.
Now the Avenger has a Stromberg BXOV1 from the early holden on it and extractors. The holes through the throttle body needed elongating and the throttle arm extended. It pops a bit on over run so might need to jet it down but before the speedo packed it in I was getting 18mpg around town. Hoping to extend these favourible results when the electronic ignition is sorted. That is another matter for another thread.
