Re: what's the most reliable - advice? 140-160 1973 145E

Try a 1973 145E. Pretty reliable, as long as the valves are adjusted correctly, good power, and fairly fuel efficient, especially if you equip it with a M41. I'm expecting about 24-26 mpg out of the current tank in my '72 142E, which will be donating its B20F/M41 to the 145, while receiving the somewhat worn out B20F and M40 from the 145.
