Both of my F.I. cars have started to suffer from fuel percolation in the spider after 20 miles or so of driving on a hot day. This results in a poor or no idle condition. If the weather is cool or it's the evening neither is affected. I drove my 57 to Carlisle last August and only had a minor problem while waiting at gate 3 after a 4 hour drive in high heat. Has the gasoline changed that much in the past year? I looked at Jerry Bramlett's web site and he reccomends 103 octane racing gas which is almost impossible for me to get.
I drive my cars quite a bit so would like to beat this problem without a second mortgage on my house. I'd like to hear from owners of F.I. cars relative to their experiance with this problem including solutions.
Both of my cars (57 & 62) have fresh and well maintained F.I. units with stock high compression motors. Rich
