Hook up the vacuum advance. The Ford distributors have a very lazy and long advance curve. Your engine is running with the spark timing way retarded at cruise RPMs. This is killing your gas mileage. Also as a side note, the main jets have a very small effect at cruise speeds. Get an O2 meter and tuning your carb will be much easier.
