Default Ignition Advance ?

I have chosen to use a Mallory Unilite distributor on my FE 3x2 setup. The unit had vacuum advance but when I sent it in to have the crab cap conversion for air cleaner clearance, the vacuum advance was history. Not enough room/metal for both.

I intend to use the car for road trips. Knowing the FE isn't going to win any awards for fuel mileage, I am still after all I can get.

I've had the thought of adding an electronic timing adjuster to allow "dialing in" a few degees advance when cruising. Will I improve mileage any amount by doing this or am I chasing dreams?

The timing adjustment would run about $120 and allow about a 15 degree adjustment from the cockpit.
