Gasoline type?
I inherited a 68 Camaro SS 396 from my late father. It has 23K miles and for the most part original. I think he had some stuff done to the engine to make it run better. I know he said it has high compression from what he did. (sorry, I'm not much of a gear-monkey). Because of this, he would say that it needed Turbo Blue 110 Octane gasoline. At that time, there were a few pumps that had that stuff. Illinois has since outlawed it (I think). Anyway, my question is, what should I fill the tank up with? I primarily drive it to and from shows, and a couple times throughout the summer around town. Will 92 octane with a can of that octane boost do the trick? What about ethanol? Most high octane blends are from ethanol. Any suggestions appreciated.
You're welcome Mike, glad it worked out for you. Roger, it's taken a few years but my inventory of excess parts has shrunk a fair bit from 1 1/2 garage stalls to about an eight by eight space. ...
