Years of experience with Methanol. None with Ethanol.
Ethanol will be a learning experience. With Methanol if you didn't get the engine to run at ~190, and oil above 220, the oil would turn to a milkshake from lack of boiling out the condensate. We ran a single row rad and had 3/4 of it blocked most of the time to maintain engine temp while racing. The induction system cooling was pretty extreme. On a humid night the intake and carb would ice up heavily during a race and frost during warm up.
I'm thinking I'm going to like this stuff.
ANY advice from experience that shortens the learning curve for me is greatly appreciated!!
Carb is a very low mile, virgin 17056263, 3185, AJA, original to the vehicle.

Pulled it apart today, primary and secondary shafts are nice and snug in their bores!
My plan is to put a pump gas calibration in it, and move on to E85 if needed over the winter. Camshaft is per Cliff (thanks) to lower the DCR, squish will be .043". Intake is an early 70's iron unit. RARE manifolds.
