ALL THE PIECES ARE BACK IN PLACE AND I?M READY TO GO RACING AGAIN.

My question concerns the use of alcohol and vacuum pumps. As of this writing I was not planning on using a vacuum pump since I didn?t have one on they?re before. A little background. My 383 was originally build't to run on gas. But, after running it for 2 years I got tired of trying to figure out my ?dial in? if the weather changed dramatically. So, I decided to switch to alcohol. Which took care of the problem.

But,

The motor did not live long. I heard and got a lot of advice. You need to get a vacuum pump or if not you?ll need to change your oil after ever use .

So my question is, for those that use alcohol or have experienced the wows that I?m going through what do you recommend?
