Let's be nice to him. He DID say that he wants to get better mileage. And the advice to work on the basics first is spot on.
I have wondered what I could do with a 60's car. Let's see - mileage cam, rebuild engine for minimum friction, Megasquirt, wide ratio 6 speed and rear end for about 1400 RPM at 60 MPH, kill switch, electronic ignition, LRR tires, some aero tweaks to the front end to get attached flow over the hood, wheel covers, grille block, ....
Say 30 MPG? Or at least high 20's?
