Great! I got +/-20mpg regularly in mine till fuel formulas changed and I started
getting 15-16 aboput a year and a half ago. That what started me looking for
better mileage and now it hovers around 25mpg.

I use a homebuilt condensator, an Eagle Research Carburetor Enhancer
<eagle-research.com>, Mann type water injection
<http://www.dave-cushman.net/misc/mannject.html> and 16* of timing advance. I
also have later model Isuzu 16" rims w/ 44psi Contis.

Mine has 282k, and outside of using more oil than I would like, is still strong
and will last a long time.

there.

perfect interior & carpet, no cracks in the dash. Just a few minor dings as you
would expect for the age and mileage.Yes I will post pictures soon.

bolts and nut on the front case, and it came apart so nice.
