tonight i put 6 gallons of 92 octane and then 6 gallons of aviation fuel from the local airport. i did not see what the octane rating was. my thoughts were that this would wake my car up. especially since we have had 2 good days with great temps and low humidity.
well...it actually started running like it was vapor locking and the engine temp was up from the usual 170 to near 200. i did not adjust the timing. it was still set safe for the 92 octane.i dont have hardened seats in the heads. i have driven this car in 85 degrees with high humidity and havent had these issues. the car has always ran cool. i'm confused. i thought these old cars loved the aviation fuel. especially the fuelie cars.
i appreciate any help and advice.
take care,
matt
