Ok-
oil leak- fixed- oil filter adapter was leaking.gasket set $19 fix
changed- plugs-distributor-wires-rotors-coils- ( call it a tune up).
PCV valve on port engine never connected to vacuum as the starboard was. Fixed- base plate from donor carb with proper fitting used.
So- engines are mirror images of each other. after tune up engines feel strong and quiet.
now the strange thing.
fuel economy is down 20%. two possibilities.
a- the PCV repair is costing me economy ( why i dont know)
b- developed some growth while effecting repairs.
thoughts?
I quess i could discomment the PCV's and plug and see if fuel usage goes down ( via flow scan type system)
