I got one many years ago from  J.C.Whitney.  I don't know if they still have
them now.

I have been looking for either an MPG gauge or fuel flow sender that I can
use to make an MPG gauge for my Ultravan, Toronado powered Holley 
carbed engine.   I have found a few expensive marine or aero fuel flow 
senders and have not found any old Zemco (or other brand) fuel meters 
from the 70's.   Those might be too restrictive for a 455 engine's carb 
inlet line.    Any ideas would be appreciated so I can make some 
instrumented improvements in fuel economy.  I would be interested in any DIY
or manufactured MPG meters for non-EFI engines and non-OBDII engines.

FWIW, my Ultravan #545 is running between 12 and 13 mpg on long trips, which
is not to bad considering the engine, weight and frontal area, but I am
looking to improve that regardless.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Larry Forman
