I recently put a DGV 32/36 on my 78 Midget and am currently getting about
28-32 mpg. It has a lot more power than the Z-S. and was fairly straight
forward to put on. I have headers tho. There is a recomendation in the
lit that the stock exhaust manifold may not clear the new intake. Pierce
Manifold packages the set up but you can get one from several sources.
Ran great on the run to NC and back.
