Personally I don't mind running slow up the hills. It is more
of a safety issue. When you are going 20 miles less than posted speed
limits it can be dangerous. And I worry about the engine being under that much
stress if it is a long climb.
Any word on alpine gears?

I wouldn't change anything. That's just the way stock busses run. Unless you
want to go to big engines to correct the problem. Come to Nacogdoches and I
will let you drive the bone stock 60 panel with stock tires and a stock 40 and
when you get back in yours you will think you are driving a full blown 100 hp
engine.

I have a carb/gear/tire question.
Running a 1600 single port. Any opinions on size of carb out there? I am
currently running a 30 pict 1.
It runs great in the realitively flat stretchs but really doesn't power much up
a hill. I live in W Austin and there are hills between me and any where I go.
I have the stock 14s, would smaller tires help?
Maybe the answer if alpine gears? If so how much would performance suffer on
flat ground.
