Re: IML: My Imperial Dilemma

Has to be the carb.  Would replace it asp.  Check timing  maybe wires.   My 
Imperials alway got between 11 to 16 or 17 mpg.  It helped when I went to a 
bigger carb and later manifold.  The orginials are just to small and make 
the engine work to had to get fuel.   Had more power and better fuel milage.
