Don't worry, im cheap and only run 87 octane in it. With 8.5:1 compression, i don't really see the point in spending the extra cash. I went to O'reilley's and bought a cheap timing light of my own to put on it. I moved it up to 6 degrees advance, and it runs alot better. I may go screw with it some more later. This is a dumb question, but every little mark on the timing pointer is 2 degrees, right?

My Daily-Driver: '72 Chevy LWB Custom/10. Rebuilt 350, roughly 300 HP thanks to a mild cam, Edelbrock intake and carb, headers, and 40 seires Flowmaster mufflers. Ochre with a white top. Plans as of now include a bigger cam, lower gears, and lots of body work.
