Your looking at rejetting the main circuit of the carburator. Drilling the main jet a few sizes larger. But first, you need to know how much cyl pressure your engine has to know how much E85 you can run. The higher cyl pressure the better, or more E85 you can run. If the Super C tests 150 psi, you can run safely a 75% gas- 25% E85 mix and see a difference. If it tests 170 and above, you can run a 50-50 mix,, up to 300 psi of cyl pressure. Currently, im setting up a H for pulling, and Ive ran it for a long time on E85,,, even left some in the tank to see what happens,,, it does spoil if not kept fresh,,, but it breaks down into an oily substance, like a thick corn oil residue. My cork seal in the sediment bowl was ok as long as it was running, but let it sit over time, it deteriorates, but its not a big deal, they need replaced every so often anyways. Hope this helps, ChadS
