(relative to my 56 V8):

THe non-alcohol is 'available' here in middle tn too. But usually the stations are 'sold out' of it.

The only problem i have with the e10 is hot engine starts at anything over 50 degrees ambient. However my dual exhaust is not balanced well from side to side (two different mufflers) which no doubt causes the hard start when hot problem and a slight hesitation of say 25 mph hard turns. I can live with it but don't like it.

Otherwise cold starts are nearly instantaneous and hiway performance very good well up to 80 mph. Odd tho that i have no hot idle problems even when idling for a long period of time in hot weather. Maybe the fan is keeping the carb cool enuf.
