Still gets 25 MPG.


My old '62 Dodge Lancer with slant six and AT got 22mph on highway.


As long as we're bragging, my 1970 Ford Custom got 9mph.

'Course it had a police interceptor engine, a calibrated speedometer up to
140, an 8-quart crankcase, and, believe it or not, a DELCO alternator.

9MPG, I hope, not 9MPH - and are you absolutely sure it had a DELCO
alternator? All the heavy duty equipped interceptors I ever worked on
had Leece Neville alternators back then.
