My fuel mileage is non-existent anyway, but I still would like to run vacuum advance while cruising, if possible.
May make it easier on the cooling system in summer.

Also wondering if there's anyone out there who can set up my distributor to provided specifications... probably another dying art.
it would be very simple to just put the light race springs in and disconnect the vacuum advance. there aren't any rubbing parts so the plate is stable. setting up a vacuum advance/aggressive centrifugal isn't difficult, I do it, but it's finding the parts. tuning is a dying art, and that's why people spend thousands of dollars on the latest gadget that they still have issues with.
