Drove to work today
Found out a few things,
Idle is a little high (based on my ear rpm gauge)
Brakes are a tad tight
and 1/4 tank on the gauge means empty |

Yeah my 71 has that same gas gauge, wonder if that was a dealer supplied option or came that way from the factory? |

So did you figure out your brakes are to tight from pushing it to work after you ran out of gas? _________________ Shane Price
