Since I have no way of knowing what
my transmission is, how do I know if it's OK to drive my 86 Granville with the
overdrive OFF.? It loses power after 55 mph, and it acts like the passing
gear wants to keep kicking in and out if it drops below 60 mph.?
?
Any idea where I can obtain any and
all information I may need about this model?
?

Depends on how much the right foot twiches.
Torque moves
a MH, HP keeps it moving. Its a balance better mpg does
not usually mean
better hill climbing.
Pick your crusing speed and select a proper set of
cams, headers, and
exhaust system you can improve the MPG, but may be down
on HP in the
mountains. If your goal in climb that hill with the big boys
then you
will lose MPG. The factory makes a balance in the middle.
But
the factory engines are built to a price, if you are willing to
spend
enough you can have more HP and torque, but its not a simple
bolt on of a
new air cleaner and a set of glass pack mufflers. But
requires a flowed
intake manifold with a matching set of carefully
ported heads. The block
will need an improved oiling system and a
matched set of pistons and rings
to harness the increased air/fuel flow.
With the wrong choice you can lose
MPG, torque and HP.
The bottom line is only a couple of MPG in either
direction and maybe
10mph up simple hills and 5 MPH on the biggies.
The
best and cheapest way to get better MPG is to slow down a
bit.
