Re: Running a high compression engine on pump gas

I agree. Anything from back in "The Day" with points, a carb, and over 10:00 to 1 compression will eventually get the rings rattled out of it if you don't give it a shot of real, honest to goodness, 100 octane leaded racing fuel in it once in awhile. In the real scope of things, with what we all have invested in our cars, what does it really cost for a 5 gallon can of Cam2 leaded racing fuel any way? Long live the Big Block!
