Add kerosene to your gas to stave off detonation & advance your timing now for more ponys!?!?
i ran a uk 70's ford cortina on a mix of cheap cellulose gun wash thinners and kerosene (paraffin here), it didn't want to start from cold on a 50/50 mix but 2 parts thinner to 1 part kerosene and it was just fine. it costed out at about 1/3 the price of gasoline so a good saving. smelt funny out the tailpipe too, lol.
neil.
