  1. next time around i think i am going to use 20w50 royale purple , better hp2-3%, 2-3 mpg more, temp of motor 25-45 degrees less ,
  2. ok, will do , also could i have mixed up the wires on the coil ? but it will idle just fine ?
  3. set timing up to .15 still same problem , when setting timing is there a vacuum line that has to be removed and then put back on when timing is set ?
  4. it is on my 84 d/r brat with a weber , i put on acell coil regaped plugs , set timing at .8 check all vacuum hoses , any suggestions ,it ran fine with a regular coil ,but wanted a better coil
  5. 20w50 is what i run in my turbo a/t full time 4wd wagon ,castrol gtx
  6. yes i am thinking about using royale purple , 20-w50 , but just wanted comments, something i saw
  7. anyone hear about his stuff , goes into motor, tranny, diff, 1 time a year stuff , bonds to metal , i saw a display at anderson;s , very interesting stuff , 2oz per qt of oil or tranny or diff , claims 2-3 mpg more , etc... comments ?
  8. i have not heard from miles fox, but he has my phone #s , but being on the road he has no way on getting on the board , i will post as soon as i hear from him
  9. difference in interior , gl-10s are even nicer , cloth seats ,sunroofs , and i think trim on the outside
  10. this i know , when i use cheaper gas meaning in price , my mpg goes way down , this is on both cars, spfi 5sp wagon, + a/t turbo full time 4wd wagon , i will disagree there is a difference in gas
  11. the reason why i ask, is because i delivered a sign to a oil place , place has been there a long time , anyways , asked why is gas cheaper at some places , she told me places buy very low octine and add alcohol to get the octine up ,
  12. is it possible to boost octine by adding alcohol ? and would you gain anything ? if so what type ? like to a 88 turbo
