Because of emissions, the timing was retarded like all vehicles starting in about 1972.
I recently replaced my water pump and timing chain and sprocket with a very affordable Cloyes Street True upgraded set that allows an 8 degree advance crank setting which translates to 4 degrees for the cam.
OEM chain had slop and timing cover was leaking coolant. New gaskets using black rtv form a gaskets with extra added to the corners where the cover meets the oil pan, fixed all that.
So far I'm happy with it is more torquey from a dead stop. Can't say about mpg because my gas tank and a leak.
