Carburetor choice

I have never found "tremendous torque" in a Vacuum advance. In fact, I've really never found any more power by feel and all my cars are street cars. Regardless if stock or a built small block, I've not found it. Some claim 1 mpg on fuel, but I've not sought fuel mileage so badly on my classics to hunt for that last mpg. I'm sure it helps because the factory spent the $$ to put them on the cars. Tremendous amount of torque would be like, 40 ft lbs or 60 ft lbs of torque difference ???
I'm shocked there's still people who read his ramblings LOL... A tremendous amount of hot wind LOL...
