i ran a 327 pg in an early convt years ago , here and it was great! it went
over a 100 mph and did fine on hills. i wonder how it will be in a van though,
as my truck has been tricky to get the pep i need to do some of the hills
here, it is not a hot rod but was ok on 81 going to carlisle. top end is lacking
though but if i can see 75 or so at times i guess its fast enough. i want to
cruise at 65-70 like newer stuff and with 355 gears it feels like im
screaming(3500+) rpm all the time. the 95 hp(180hp heads) pg runs good and doesnt seem
to be hurt by it yet. im running 51 jets in late carbs, 319 distrib with only
one spring on advance, with cd ignition and ngk plugs.i tend to change stuff a
lot trying for a touch more pep or mileage so info changes week to
week..regards tim colson (always looking for the impossible)
