Re: [DML] help! newbie getting horrible gas mileage




I also had a similar problem. It turned out that the reluctor pulse coil 
inside the ignition distributor has seized so I was not getting any vacuum 
advance. I stripped down my distributor and freed off the reluctor pulse 
coil assembly. I also found the engine ran cooler after I rebuilt my 
distributor.

I believe John Hervey sells them.
