Should be about 10:1 compression. I drained the
gas this last weekend after it had been sitting about 8 months. It did
have that old gas smell but looked okay. We poured it into my friends
68B. I haven't talked to him yet to see how its been running. But
these new formulations are the color of piss and have a funny smell
anyway. I bought 5 gallons of race gas, 110 octane leaded.

Dennis, if you didn't already know, you are wasting your money on 110 octane
with 10:1 compression. It will give you a little LESS power, not more, as it
burns more slowly.
With your compression, 93 -94 octane is optimal.
You could probably advance your timing a couple of degrees with the race gas
and get a little more, but it wouldn't be significant.
Bill
