Working on the flathead to improve economy, You need a good AF meter and a distributor you can adjust the Mechanical and vacuum advance. then run a series of tests over a known distance and record the data. Personalty, I'd 86 the Loadamatic and mill the heads for 45/50 thou piston to head clearance. THEN start running carb tests. I've been doing this through Richard for the past 5 or 6 years and am now starting on my own tests on a 280 "Stock" flathead.
