I don't usually talk about my vacuum advance unit because it's some what controversial with "rodders". In fact I was strongly urged to NOT install one, I did anyway. I use manifold vacuum, adjust idle rpm accordingly, it's been working well for me for about 7,000 hard miles on my FE.

I recently picked up the car in Oakland and drove it up to Redding. I got a decent 14 mpg with a top loader and was running at normal speeds the whole way. With SOME hard through the gears along the way as well. I was very pleased with the perfomance and the mpg. Mainly because the mpg increases my range with the small tank.
