Hi, just bought the vortex valve and then I found this forum. I am not even going to try it on my van I think I'm going to just send it back.
I would like to get some information though. I have a 1979 Dodge 360 5.L V8 4BBL Maxi van. I was wondering if there was a way to get better gas mileage even if I had to lose some power. I don't need all that HP I will never pull anything I would sacrifice some HP for better gas mileage.
What do you think of these ideas? Sorry if I don't explain it well.
1. K&N air filter
2. I notice the air filter is enclosed with a small airway. In my van the carburetor sits far back in the van. I was thinking would it be better to have the air filter out in the open like one of those 360 air filters covers?
3. Since I have a 4 barrels can I adjust when the 4 barrel is used till later to save gas mileage?
4. Anything you guys could come up with to get better gas mileage even if there is lose to HP I don't mind and I have power to spare. I rather save money.
Thanks
