I have wondered about this for a while.........but is it practical to convert a C2/C3 to natural gas? Ever heard of it being done?

TPI is very cheap to buy.
If you have a bit more money, go for EZ-EFI

As has been previously mentioned, anything that will make a significant improvement in mileage will probably cost more than it's worth (trans, diff). The only thing you can do that's 'free' is to stick to the highways rather than stop and go driving.

Poor old '77 is getting about 6 mpg right now. As much as the t-tops have leaked over the years, I think I can kick the floor pans out with my bare feet and "Fred Flintstone" down the road. Stopping might be a little hard on my heels.....wait, it's a C3...I don't know what it's like to have brakes anyway!
