I can tell you that on my own car, with its 350, when the computer went tango uniform last year, performance dropped to the level of a V6 and the car averaged about 2 - that's two - miles per gallon over the two days I drove it like that. You can expect that same level of performance and economy with the electronic advance distributor and no computer.
To further put it in perspective for you, that's about half the economy of an 800hp NASCAR Nextel Cup car at 180 mph.

woah thats serious. I didnt think my carb was that important.
I think im gonna stick it out with my ill Q-jet on my car now for a while, and sell the non computer one for a Reman computer one.
Ebay and summit goes for about 300$ replacing my carb sounds easier then the whole dist mess.
thanks silicon
