Seriously? That's awesome. Doesn't even like to run on 87??? Or do you have to mix DOWN the octane somehow?

Runs fine on the cheapest crap you can find. My engine is modified, so it runs closer to 5-1. During the FIRST depression, guys would warm them up on gasoline, then switch to kerosene to save $$.

That's amazing. They'd burn kerosine at 3.5? I thought that would take diesel-like compression and air. BTW, does yours run?

Bad habit, unless I need help of course. If you can roll on the street and the mood strikes, it be awesome to bring out to Nicks. We get a lot of Fords (Machs, GTs, Cobras, and Lightnings). I think it'd be darned interesting for some of these guys to see, probably for the first time, one of THE vehicles that made it all possible. Then again, don't you need like a pilot's license to drive one? I remember hearing about it on a documentary and a tumor began to form in my brain.

Actually, after a 10 minute lesson, it's easy. I'll dig it out in the spring, and let you drive it.
