Definitely. The octane ratings of today don't compare to yesteryear.

 :iagree: and try to find fuel WITHOUT ethanol too!

It's a great feeling when you do something like that for the first time and it works!  I am happy that it is running well for you.  :2thumbs: :cheers:

What carb did you end up putting on it?

I used the 302 cam , street dominator intake, and a 780 QFT carb. Very good throttle response. Pulls nice from the bottom to top.

Now on order is a rear locker cuz a "one wheel peel" just isn't cool! Also have a Transgo shift kit for that "full race shift"
