Thanks for all the comments and suggestions. I'm not getting any detonating or spark knock. I have to wind the starter more than I'm comfortable with when running the ethanol fuel, with non ethanol it starts as soon as you hit the key. Hard acceleration with the blended fuel I get intermittent sputters which drives me crazy! I will try to richen the carb a bit. I'm running the stock jets so I'm going to call Edelbrock for some advice on the jets. Any suggestions on timing for the BB? I'm running HEI as well.
