    Unless unleaded regular in your area is only $1.20 per gallon the E85 isn't really cheaper after you factor in the 30% lower energy content. If Reg is around $2.50, the E85 would have to be around .80 less just to break even cost wise (not allowing for the higher octane)

    As for the gaskets/elastomer materials, you may want to contact Holley to see when they upgraded their materials, assuming they have, your carb may be new enough you won't have to do all that.

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.
