I bet the gas mileage issues with your current set up can largely be
contributed
to the mechanical advance distributor.  Go to some combination Mech/vac and
you'll find the gas mileage goes up.  I saw my MGB go from 22 or so down to
15-16 with the change from vac to mech.  Car timing always stays in advanced
state like your always accelerating.  Wouldn't trade it as it pulled
together
all the performance mods I had done (carb/headers/cam).  But in the future
I would look for a mech/vac combination distributor.
