E85 conversion!

[TT/Ameasap]

Sprayed alky today. About 3 on the dial. Turned it back off after it started breaking up again.
Still have a breaking up issue tho. At a loss as to what to do.

I would start with plug gap. should be .028ish, maybe a bit tighter.
Then try changing AFR / timing.
Then go after ignition and valve springs. Toss up as to which could go first there.

I was at .030 and regapped them to .025. I'll see if that helps. These are NGK B8EFS
The breaking up happened with the AR474's when I first made the switch to E85.
I tried Really lean and really rich with no avail.
Timing was 18° at first and I gradually ramped it up to 27° and back down to 25° where Im at now.
Bought HO coil pack and ohmed coil and wires.

Fixed it. Tightened new plugs to .020-.022 gap and spark blow out is gone.
I have been spraying alky on top of the E85 and it pulls harder. It not only pulls harder, I can make multiple pulls without loosing any power and its 85° out.
Cant believe how hard it pulls now. Front end stays up all the way to top of third!

That TR6 is calling for you.....

x2...You could run .035 gaps and not blow them out...

Ya, I just dont have the money right now. That is a nice system tho.

That is the best idea you have ever had Dave.

Dickerson taught me that one!

You end up running any higher boost/timing than 25/18?

When we stopped the other night it was pretty rich. I tightened the actuator 2 turns, but haven't driven it.
