<VV> little gas hog

[shortle]

What ignition distributor are you using (part #)? Does your vacuum advance work (verifiable with a timing lite)? Does your centrifugal advance work (also verified with a timing lite)? What is your ignition timing base setting at? What size metering jets are you running? Where are your float settings? Do any of your floats "sink"? How about your driving habits. Do you try to win every race or do you drive mellow? You should be able to get a bit better mileage but it may vary.
