All of you who think cruising at 1700,2000,2300 rpm is great-think again.At those engine speeds,your advance isn't all the way in-you're actually LOSING MPG.

I come from the "old school". I've had cars with top loader's, M-22 Muncie's, super T-10's etc. and my TKO 600 shifts better than any of them. As far as your comment on vacuum advance, if it is hooked up to full vacuum like it should be , you WILL be getting the best mileage and performance.
