Sorry folks! This was meant to be a private reply, and I blew it. Oh well, I don't think it should ruffle any feathers. I'll be out of town on business until Friday. If I don't get an opportunity to check e-mail while I am gone, I am sure that this will have run its course by the time I get back. Enjoy! Imperially, Paul

Sorry, this time you have gotten a few things backwards, but I'll let the others explain. Just keep doing what you are doing and I am sure you will be fine. The rest of us will have to do something else if we are living closer to Sea Level.

I can tell you that I have had zero issues with running 87 octane as long as I add the Lucas. ?The way it was explained to me, and keep in mind I am not a mechanic, is this. ?High octane does not lubricate the upper cylinders, rods, or lifters, ?thats what lead in the gas was for. ?The reason we run high octane is because is somewhat of a substitute for the lead not being there but in time it will still burn out the valves. ?Lucas is not a lead substitute but lubricates the valves better than lead did. ?That is why I have never needed a valve job, I don't run high octane. > >I am sure that my explaination is very incomplete, ?I don't know the spacifics of it, ?I wish I did. ?If you have any further questions feel free to write off list at ?cchmaness@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > >Chris M. > > >----- Original Message ----- > ?From: W.Roddick > ?To: mailing-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > ?Sent: Monday, March 28, 2005 3:29 PM > ?Subject: RE: IML: fuel use > > > ?And you can burn the cheaper (assuming 87 octane regular) in it without detonation? ?Or did I misunderstand what you meant by "lowest cost gas"? > > ?Bill Roddick > ?'64 Imperial Crown > ?'72 'Cuda 340 > ?'88 Cherokee Laredo > ?'95 Concorde > > > >------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > ?From: mailing-list-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:mailing-list-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of CHRISTINE & CHRISTOPHER > ?Sent: Monday, March 28, 2005 2:02 PM > ?To: mailing-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > ?Subject: Re: IML: fuel use > > > ?The Compression ratio of my 63 is 10 to 1. > > ?Chris M. > ?63 custom 2 dr. >
