First I looked up E85 here on this part of the Forum and got a feel for what may or may not be needed but just a feel. I was wondering about things as far as different fuels as I've had a thread about that before. Used to run 100ll for the first few years. It ran great with it I love it it smelled good ran clean wasn't messy everything was the best about it except having to go get it is a pain.
This summer I tried a mixture of 110 leaded Sunoco with 50% 92 non ethanol. I think with dual quads I won't have too much problem at least getting enough fuel up there I could run another fuel pump no problem and have each carburetor with its own fuel line and fuel pump. I think more the problem is my Edelbrock carburetors. From what I researched it seems as it's much more expensive to convert them? I can get e85 pretty close by and I believe at a fairly reasonable price. Of course the idea of mixing E85 also crosses my mind but obviously I wouldn't try without some kind of knowledge. I'm no chemist.
The dual quad is a 625 Carter on the back and a 600 Edelbrock on the front. When I ran the hundred L L I had it dialed in pretty good at about 14.2 or 14.5 at idle and about 12 5 or 12 4 at wide open throttle and all that drop off a point at least when I did the gas mixing this summer. Of course I hear where the E85 is a lot leaner it seems like but a lot of volume needs to be put out which I feel I can do as it always seems to be running rich. And I've heard a lot of people say using hundred LL makes things run a lot leaner.
Anyways any insight on this very new to me subject especially some experience would be great and appreciated thank you..
