I have a D-24 with fluid drive, a standard 3 speed transmission and a bad left knee. I start my car clutch down brake on, shift to reverse, release the clutch and brake and back out of my driveway. Stop and depress the clutch and shift to 2nd gear, release the clutch and brake hit the gas and drive away. When up to speed I shift to 3rd without using the clutch. When I need to stop IF I am on level ground I hit the brake and leave it in 3rd so no clutching is required. On hilly ground I shift to 2nd gear clutch less and follow the above procedure. The only time I use the clutch is backing out of my driveway. I learned to shift without using the clutch 60 years ago on non fluid drive cars.

Who cares what the MPG rating is. I bought my cars to have fun with not count operating costs.

As I understand it the only reasons the factory selected the 7:00 position was to make life easier for the mechanics in the field to have common ground to start with when doing tuneups. And as mentioned above to prevent the vacuum advance from making contact with the engine block. Military distributors took it a step further. The "tang" at the bottom of the distributor shaft that is flat on both sides of civilian distributors was modified adding a half moon on one side so the distributor could only be installed one way not two ways. They did this so when you are in a gun fight with bullets wizzing over your head and the engine craps out you can make hasty repairs in the dark and get out of Dodge.
