I hear ya on the mileage. M toying with upgradeing to an MSD throttle body injection system.

My new engine build has a towing cam installed along with heads that have the "peanut" ports. Supposedly these heads are supposed to be better for mileage and low end power/torque. One of these days I'll find out whether that's true or not

I also bought one of these 65k distributors hoping that would help as well. I was quite surprised with the quality. The best part is it accepts OEM components as well so even if the electronics fail I can buy parts off the shelf to get back on the road.

Worked on Moho a bit this summer. Added some thermal jackets to the spark plug wires by header. I like these one in particular because you can bend them into the position you want.

Also added sone new ngk v power plugs while I was at it

Also last year we removed the generator which had a massive oil leak. Not worth repairing so I built a battery bank in its place. After running wires to the back I welded on some brackets to hold up to 6, 6 volt golf cart batteries. Currently 2 are in position and I purchased them both at Costco fir $85 each. The plan is to eventually get 4 more. I also wired up my zamp portable Solar panel quick disconnect wiring while I was on there.

What headers are you using? My Argosy has some really cracked manifolds that need replacing and I am looking for something that will install with as few headaches as possible.

I used headman headers

Love your roof-rack set up. Possible that you remember who manufactures it, and how hard was the install?

Thanks, Derek

A few years ago I changed out the factory stereo and speakers up front. Never touched the 2 rear speakers though so tonight I installed 2 pioneer 5 1/4 inch speakers. Fit easily in the factory spots and are sooo much better than the old paper one ways. Mnow I have great sound back there as we'll

Got a leather wrap for the nasty sticky steering wheel this week. After cleaning the steering wheel numerous times only to have it last for a few months I decided to go with the wheelskins leather wrap. You have to hand lace it, about an hour, but it looks and feels so plush. Best $50 spent ever.
