Service ceiling 76 non turbo

I have gone thru the POH for our 76 non turbo and cannot find the service ceiling with both engines running.
I can see the single engine numbers, but no absolute service ceiling for both engines.

Also, what altitude do most of you all fly?
Thanks
Rick

73p

hey ricky;

12-15 k

sat flew the cheyene. fired right up after sitting 2 years. went gear down to mechanic shop. its easier to fly than the 337. T/Off and landing noticeably faster. minor glitches like gear did not cycle. left the flaps down in case they split little worried about insurance but it all was ok. just went slow. it definitely aids the economy flying low 2400 feet fuel burn was 75 gph. power settings are all new but only need to remember a couple. today flew my 337 to Arkansas 14k 200 kts over the ground on 26 gph. makes me wonder why i bought a bus. the garmin 530 gave me trouble than the airplane.

With fuel prices..... I love my Skymaster. 190kts 20K feet, 18gph.

75 gph. wow.

With my NA version. Noticed it got a little mushy above 14k. Climb is very poor above 12k. 100-250 ft/min from what I remember. (full gross) I LOVED the economy of the NA over my Turbo though. I remember a 14gph setting with 160mph true. Not too bad.
