[Mgs] Old Gas

[COX, DENNIS]

I have no intention of feeding it a regular diet of race gas.  I put it
in for the initial start and cam breakin.  I figured a 50/50 mix would
give me about 98.  Out here in Calif 91 is the highest they sell at the
pump.  Once the initial start up and cam bedding is done I'll tune it
for pump gas.

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.
