Looking for the correct fuel to use in a high compression (10.5:1) 2lt Pinto. My RS MK2, 2 door has been in storage for 8 years now so I am unsure what to do to get it back on the road now that leaded is no longer available. Bottom end has had a lot of work with max bore and oversized pistons and the head has been ported and polished (flow 185hp) with large oversized valves, BP300 cam, vernier etc. It currently only has a double throat capri carby installed with the intention of twin 45 webers (as a minimum) to go on soon.
Last time I looked, the 'fuelstar' system (tin replacement) was recommended but are there alternatives or does the 'fuelstar' system actually work? The last time I drove it, it was still pinging with leaded and octane booster under load. I am sure someone hear has found a solution. My very first post so any help will be mcuh appreciated. Mick |
