Is thinking 30mpg, maybe a wee bit more optimistic? I'm thinking of finding a decent solid Amazon and it would have to earn its keep, no point having a car at the door you can't afford to run though. Thanks in advance for any advice.
My ‘66 ,121 would do high twenties in the situation you describe. The tune is critical, I found ,like with most old motors, plugs,points, carb,air filter.

Mine, had no overdrive.👍
