I have your Westy's twin, an '84 called Hershey. Good post about the 2.3. I always wondered about the mileage, and I wonder how it would perform if you installed DJ-code ECU and dizzy. My DJ-code engine returns 19mpg during a loaded 70mph cruise. Has Go-Westy tweaked the air flow sensor at all to compensate for the larger displacement?
