Mecum just came to Kansas City and I bought a 66 convertible with a 327/350. Until I drove this home, I hadn't driven a 'vette in nearly 35 years. I have a couple of issues with which I hope someone will be able to offer some help.
1. What do I feed this beast? I'd presume premium unleaded will do the trick but do I need to add some sort of lead or lead substitute?
2. The accelerator pedal linkage binds under full throttle! It was all I could do to disengage the clutch and turn the key off before she blew. It was quite surprise. I had to pull the linkage up from the carpeting by hand. Is this a common problem? I sure hope it's an easy fix.
Any comments, tips, or help is deeply appreciated!
