Cool Re: VP fuel. $$$$$$ and Corrosion

442OLDS,

What kind of Sunoco fuel do you run & what's your CR ? I am still looking for VP 110 replacement with less octane 93-100 range , that's NHRA/IHRA approved ??? thanks...

I do a procedure similar to Rich, with VP fuel. I have previously seen the cylinder heads, cylinder walls, valves and throttle blades rust.

Years ago a company made plastic spark plugs that were filled with desiccant, {silica gel}
Had no problems after using them, only needed to stick them in the oven when removed.
Dan Dvorak also sold header plugs filled the same way. Both took care of all the problems, all you had to do is cap the carb. Buy some silica and improvise, make your own.
