Gas

I may have answered my own question on a source for the gas, as indicated below.

Try "76 UNION" Stations. The one up here in Manteca, Calif. sells the 103 octane racing Gas. The last time I looked (months ago) it was something like $4.50/GAL. If you need to know exactly what the price is, let me know and I will "Swing by" and see what the latest price is for the stuff. Be advised that it is for "off road use only" and that running it on the "street" will have you subject to a fine. But that never stopped us before, has it!! Regards, Marlin.

In researching for an article in the POCA news a few months ago, I noted that there are fifty-five (55) different 'race gasolines' now marketed. Among other things, some have significant amounts of tetraethyllead in them, subjecting the supplier AND user to a $10K fine for any public road use. All these also have slight changes in viscosity & density which means that you will have jetting problems if your engine is tuned for one type and you then change to a second one. I would suggest you mechanically fix your engine rather than getting "hooked" on the race-gas thing. A valve job followed by thicker composite head gaskets and some attention to the ignition timing should allow 91-octane to work just fine. I built & ran my current engine to 10-1/2:1 compression with aftermarket cam etc and it not only thrived on 89-91 octane, it passed CA smog testing (until that became unnecessary)

Racing gas in Manteca Marlin??? I'll be right there!

Again! The BOSS knows best! And I agree, unless you are running Full All Out, Flat Out Road Racing, on the TRACK; you just plan don't need it!! Marlin.

Ahhhhh....I guess there are some advantages to living in Indiana where 93 octane is sold at most gas stations.
