I dont care about him but i dont want to be wasting gas i could use

what kind of carbs do you have?whatever they are make sure they are DIALED IN to as close to perfect as you can get,anything but solex and you may have to fine tune every couple of weeks depending on your driving style.give the car a good thorough tune up and see what it does for ya. _________________ insanity takes it's toll,please have exact change ready.

replace all your fuel lines immediately, use fuel line hose clamps. Check your vent hose at the filler hole, make sure your tank isn't leaking. What are you getting for gas mileage?

When was the last time you:
Changed the plugs, cap, rotor, wires
Set the Timing
Adjusted the valves
Cleaned the carbs
Adjusted the Idle MIXTURE
Set the Idle SPEED _________________
