When I first put it on alcohol this summer, I was a mess when I fired the car up. All of a sudden the car was quieter and I could hear noises in the valvetrain that on gas I couldn't. Now when I lean the fuel out, it goes right back to its snotting self. Beep Are you on straight alcohol or E85? Whiskyrunner is making the switch to alcohol next year and I may try E85. 1970 Duster Edelbrock headed 408 5.984@112.52 422 Indy headed small block 5.982@112.56 mph 9.42@138.27 Livin and lovin life one day at a time

I have had bad luck with their lifters. The Ferara valves are nice, that is what I put in about all my builds. Inspect the cam bearings as well to make sure you don't have one spinning with the cam it will cause a valve to tighten as well. Good luck with it. poppaj 6289135-IMG_1806.jpg (20 downloads) AA/NSS 65'Coronet "Whompin Wedge" Pop & Son Performance 557" B-1 power John Holt Chassis

E85 would kinda be a pain in the butt as the closest place that sells it is 25 miles out of my way. I could buy alcohol right at the track. 1970 Duster Edelbrock headed 408 5.984@112.52 422 Indy headed small block 5.982@112.56 mph 9.42@138.27 Livin and lovin life one day at a time
