Considering the fact that truck weighs 4500 lb unloaded, the engine is 6.5 liters 3-speed automatic without overdrive and 3.7:1 gears in the back, that's about correct.

Help me Matt, I started carb cheating and I’ve gained over 128 pounds!

Thanks for all of the great info! I like the music in the video a lot 😊

Try that test with a Edelbrock AVS series with its annual or discharge boosters. I was never a fan of Carter carburetors but I'm noticing they are holding their own against Holley's rather nicely in both performance and fuel economy.

Yup those little babies run nice! I have two of them. Thanks

I hadn’t even thought about a cheap android phone from Walmart until you said that. Thanks!

Every time I check the part sites for that wiper to put in my trailer special it’s always sold out. Besides a Godzilla it’s the one part I want to have

6*BTDC? Best i can tell my 390 in my tbird is set at 15-20 degrees initial timing. It's hard to tell exactly since the little timing tab on the timing cover only goes up to 10 degrees. Wouldn't manifold vacuum give you better fuel economy?

Awesome looking Thunderbird, I like the looks of these better than the first generation Thunderbird

Love the subtle install.really nice addition to a carbureted vehicle

Just swap a 2.7 ecoboost or 5.0 get tons of hp an there stock efi modern engines. Plenty of crash mustang n f150 at the yards.

Thanks for sharing, I can definitely see some advantages, nice that it can datalog too!

Have you noticed any difference in fuel efficiency?

Very strategic vacuum leak

Have to love that Carb Cheater, Ever since Luke showed it with the Lawn Mower Carb its been interesting. I plan to get one, one of these days but just havent bit the bullet yet

I put one in my '71 Pontiac with a 400 and a Quadrajet along with a Progression Ignition distributor. Almost like fuel injection in how I can tune the car now. I tuned the carb for 14:1 AFR for E10 gas, and set the carb cheater to keep it as close at it can to that ratio.

Ive beer trying to find a 12 foot boat here in AuGres Michigan and I can't seem to find my perfect 12 footer! I just missed a Sea Nymph 12R a month ago as another guy beat me to the punch 👊 😐

Floor mounted high beam switch

Is it possible to just leave it on when in manual mode ? So lets say, you come to a standstill and just drive off with it still ingaged. Pretty much making your car feel as if it has a set of taller gears in te rearend ?

My Dad bought a 72 Squire Wagon with the dealer upgraded 3514V Cleveland and the best we got on the highway was about 11mpg. She was a comfy, yet thirsty beast.

I'm glad I watched this video. As you said, both are infinitely tunable, but I like how much easier the Edelbrock is to tune, and the fact it doesn't have those awful fuel leak issues like older or well worn Holleys have, with the bowl gaskets or the powervalves. I just put a 1406 Edelbrock on my 66 Mercury today, but I didn't have the throttle bracket adapter to make the factory throttle cable and kick down rod mount up. oh well.

Really interesting gear splitting video. I suppose with 3.23 gears in your diff your rpm's would hover around 2000 with significant mpg savings. thank you again for posting.

Amazing thunderhead289 giving Holley and other efi a good run for there money

Matt-thank you for posting a very informative video on this installation. Currently installing one in my 55 Chevy sedan-I am trying to reach you to see if you have a part number for the L bracket you bought from Amazon. It is the perfect fit, but I have searched forever and cannot locate it. Thanks Sam

Never heard of this, kinda wild, but it would also let in more hot air lol

Well explained. Never seen in action. Kudos🫡

Hello Matt, Great video about the overdrive been thinking about getting one for my car on my channel. Like you, I only have about 300 subscribers. Looking forward to watching your other videos about boats.

I have the 28hp version on a wood speedboat. Cowling is red in color...so not sure of the age. Motor was bought new in 1961 i think. Owned by my uncle.

Dang that’s fast! Always wanted a vintage merc to add to my collection!

Always in low fuel economy haha

My 77 Highboy got 8 around town and 12 highway. That's all those era 3/4 ton trucks got.

Im a little surprised, i always see people dumping on the eddy carbs online but it did well here!

You guys are flying!!

Man that looks fun!

I have a question. You had to take the speedometer gear off the speedometer cable. How do you compensate for the rear gear ratio so that the speedometer reads correctly? Is that now in the Gear Vendors unit?

Runnin great!

Very cool

Love the sound of twin flying Scott's

I need 10 seconds to tell everyone something Good! I care about yall as people, and tell you that The scriptures tell us that Jesus Christ died for people's sins! Whoever will have their faith in Him, that through Him, they'll be pardoned from the Judgement of their Sins by God, will be pardoned, and will be saved! Amen and good day 😊

What a good motor to take fishing!! Great video

Picking up a 20hp Merc for my 12ft Lone Star today. Looks like itll handle it well.

Another solid video. I am a big fan of those 3hp omc’s. Great little outboards.

< 71 F250 crewcab 4x4 6200 lbs empty. FE 390 got 5 to 6 mpg. Its still a work truck and I drive it hard. Put in a very built 300 I6 and got 8 to 13 until it came apart. Rebuilt the 390 and was getting 6 to 7. Replaced the 500 cfm eldecrap with 570 holley street aveneger and after getting it working correctly it is very noticably better gas milage. I havent measured it but I suspect 8 maybe 9 ? ....
