Thanks for that Bob, very helpful.  Someone over here is stressing about
taking his car to France (eventually ...) where E5  was getting rare several
years ago.  We are trying to put his mind at rest.

 

Paul.

Paul,

   I have been burning E10 for 20 years, ever since it became the standard
in State of Connecticut.  My experience has been that the standard engine
configuration burned it fine, without any needle changes, and  that the
engine, rebuilt to UK specifications a decade ago, does just as well with
the factory-specified needle.  I had the type 25 distributor rebuilt by
Advance, Jeff Schlemmer, and set mechanical timing at 32 at 3500. 

Bob

I'm looking for people with experience of using this in cars like the MGA
and MGB in terms of what if any carb needle and timing changes have been
found necessary, and any other problems.

 

Thanks,

PaulH.
