Not a Y question but still a Ford.  I just bought a '79 Bronco (351M w/ C6) for hauling things and bad weather days.  My understanding is that it is going to be a gas HOG (8-10mpg).  I get about 18-20 with my 312 and fordo/fmx in my 4dr 500.  Is the Y just that more efficient.  Is there any ways to improve the 351?  My guess is the fairlane is about twice the size of the bronco.  I haven't checked the rear diff on the bronco, but I think they came with 3.50 gears.  I still need to tune the carb because it idles really rough but I don't think that will make much difference on the road.  Anyone using a C6, is there an overdrive?  Any suggestions appreciated!
