The car has always ran very strong on acceleration. It is definitely running rich, but I can't find anyone in TN that can adjust it. The best guy in Knoxville, TN is Robert Berry, but he is a crook. Air Cooled Classics has done great work for me, but they just don't have anyone there that know the early cars in depth. Everytime they try to lean it out, it pops more. Bruce Anderson drove it about 5 years ago and said it was one of the stongest 2.4's he had ever driven. It just misses a little and feels like a hiccup, sometimes backfiring. My Dad said when he bought the car new, it got about 17-26 mpg, not it gets around 10-12. I have replaced just about everthing except the whole engine at this point, which may be next. We did put Webers on it about 20 years ago and I rebuilt the fuel injection and put it back on about 10 years ago. It has 135,000 miles total and about 300 on the last total rebuild in June '04.
