Turns out my gas gauge indicates half when full. I'm now looking for the bottom which is more critical. I must be close to running on fumes now and I've gone 142 miles of mostly town driving. What is the ballbark range of a '34 Master?

Fill it up and find out your mpg and multiply by the tank capacity. I'm guessing with a fresh engine it's probably around 15 mpg.

To be safe I would figure 12 MPG fpr crappy driving and warming up the engine, etc.
With the 14 Gal. tank and keeping a 2 Gal. reserve would be about 140 miles. That is for US 4 Qt. gallons.
My 1934 would give 17-18 MPG on the longer trips (at 55 MPH)
