Install an in-cab vacuum gauge and learn to keep manifold vacuum as high as possible. That will buy you a little more mileage. Remember the "Mobil Economy Run" that Rambler usually won? They offered a fuel economy gauge from the factory that did not have numbers on the dial but a green, yellow and red zone......it was a vacuum gauge. Actually pretty helpful in changing your driving habits. Did you ever get the HEI wiring figured out?
