What is your maximum idle vacuum ??

What is your cruise vacuum ??

What do your plugs look like (and what are you running for plugs) ??

Does your linkage close all the way and do you actually get WOT ??

What type of air cleaner are you using ??

Do you run a carb spacer and if you do what type ??

What transmission do you run and if its an auto what is the stall/flash rpm and type ??

Have you done any tuning on the engine yet?

Check your ignition advance as well.

Is your speedometer correct? How many tanks have you gone through to get your figures, and how are you driving; like highway only, in town only, hard, easy, etc.
