My motor is running dual weber progressives, which is pretty odd, I've never seen another set for the type 4. They don't offer any advantage as far as fuel economy though. I think it all comes down to proper jetting. When I was up in Moab, my idle dropped 300 rpm from being too fat at the higher elevations. I really did drive the car hard. The motor pulls well up to 5500 rpm, so it may not have a stock bus cam in it. If I drove nice and didn't open up the secondaries, I wouldn't be surprised if it got 35mpg or better. Just make sure not to go too lean, engines don't like that. A little fat is much better than a little lean. If you can get ahold of an LM-1 air/fuel meter you can dial everything in just right. Good luck. |
