problem to start

Sal, FYI, curiosity got the best of me and I modified my ecg today per Teds instructions. Engine runs the same at idle and 70mph. Filled up the gas tank so I guess I’ll check the mpg the Next time I fill up with non ethanol gas And I’ll get back with the results. Thanks for your input.

You won't notice any difference at idle or at 70 MPH. The fuel economy increase will be at light loads and steady speeds (manifold vacuum 10" and higher), when the RPM isn't high enough to advance the fly weights in the distributor for full advance. This gives you more spark advance while cruising, compared to just centrifugal advance.
There will not be a dramatic increase in fuel economy, but will be better.

Update on my mpg, filled up yesterday and calculated the mpg and it’s 15.26. I checked it 10/13/20 before I modified my carb and it was 15mpg. Not a significant gain but it’s a slight gain. I’ll check it again on next fill up. My driving consist of approximately 75% highway, 55-70 mph and 25% around town, 30mph.
 
hello guys,
i've replaced the complete distributor ignition kit, take off the china repro, the car starts and runs better,
 
MADE IN CHINA

So yesterday afternoon (SAT) I go to adjust the rear drum brakes on a 2005 TAURUS. It's bad enough that they are a PIA as they are MAZDA design.

Find a slobbering wheel cylinder. Check NAPA online and they say theirs is USA ([photo shows appearing as WAGNER). The old lady goes in to pick them up, open the box and MADE IN CHINA.

It is getting so you can't beat the new system.
 
Well, I finally tricked myself. I thought the NAPA cyls were USA made but only the photo showed USA.
