I also tuned it up with new wires, plugs, cap and rotor. Rebuilt the carb also.

So, remember back in 2008 you were going to sell the 87 442 because your mileage was so piss poor. You were getting around 160 miles per tank. Can you tell me specifically what you did to make such mpg improvements? This would help a lot of 87 442 owners.
Also, I was very close to buying one from an old neighbor who still has it, but when I saw that you were only getting 10-13 mpg-- it kind of spooked me since gas in like 3.50 a gallon here.
Do you think that I could get 18 -20 average per gallon.
Your help is appreciated.
