On that T3 manifold pictured above they all connect to that nipple closest to the head, sticking up at the camera, but I don't know where that would go from there on a stock car. |

Your odometer may be more off than that. You could very well be getting 50 MPG on a regular basis when accurately evaluated. |

My speedos are all significantly slow in all my metros, including those with the right size tires... Gas gauges are all bad too... |

The VSS reads correctly. The odo seems to be accurate. |

Head still at shop. Found out that Maryland"Safety" inspection failed to tighten the lugnuts after putting the wheel back on. Almost lost the wheel. I am full of rage. |

Oh, that's just grand. They make you bring your car in to inspect for something that is none of their damned business, and create a severe safety problem that was not there before. Your tax dollars at rest. |

I could start a whole thread on the absurdity of things I've run into at MD inspections. And a whole forum on my tax dollars :/ |

Start a thread on that, I'll give you some observations from the other side of the wrench. I was a licensed inspector for the Commonwealth of VA. from 1978 to 2008. (The inspection manual went from about 1/2 inch thick to 2 1/2 inches) I've seen a lot, sometimes thought I had seen it all, -------------BUT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! then something new and exciting comes along. JM is and inspector for PA. I am sure he has some good ones as well. |
