We in europe run 95 and 99 octane, adn although the rating systems are different from the US, I think 38 should be OK for the street & track.

Because of some difficulties with my fuel (the filter gets clogged in some mysterious way...) I haven't tried it out yet.

Will do u full tune- up in the near future; valves need attention & also checking the sync on the webers.

Hi RS

If you are running a dizzy vac, cap it. Hook up a light and chart the advance rate every 500 Rs from 900 to 3500 Rs. Note the RPMs where, it stops advance. A dial back light is really super for performing this.
Happy Motoring!
