Better mpg help

Hey guys I have a 1979 f150 custom short bed 4WD with a straight 6 6 cylinder 300 4.9L motor that I just had rebuilt. And I'm putting in a new distributor and new 8mm spark plug cables and diamond fire spark plugs. The carburretor is 4 years old and I'm going to clean it up. Was else can I do to get the best mpg and what should expect for mpg with what have done so far?
Thx

The carburretor is a one barrel carburretor.
