I remember the 78 Monacos were terribly cold blooded engines here in the winter, and the lean burn was always a tuning problem. And the fuel milage was about 8-10MPG. Had to return to HQ to fill up at about the 6 1/2 hr mark of the 8 hr shift. -- copcar dot com's Discussion Board

Lean burn on a '77 Monaco? Jim O. 16:34:48 07/13/02 Sat

Jim: the only big block Mopar offered in Calif for 1977-78 was the vacuum advance iqnition equipped 440 Magnum. Every other Mopar passenger car in those years had the 360 4V tops, period. (NT) Bearhawke in Az 18:26:56 07/13/02 Sat

Bearhawke, what about the 400 2bbl or 4bbl? (NT) -- Giant, 00:01:35 07/15/02 Mon

Giant: according to Sanow's book the Maine SP problems were with the E68 400 4V.......I suspect that the single exhaust by creating too much backpressure was the culprit along with the extremely lean A/F ratios courtesy of that POS Lean Burn. (NT) -- Bearhawke in Az, 20:49:15 07/15/02 Mon
