Re: [oletrucks] dont wanna die

An original 216 or 235 has fairly low compression (7 or 7.5 to 1) so it
should not be necessary to use premium gas.  If that fixes the problem,
either you got a tank load of bad gas, or more likely, it's masking an idle
mix or timing problem.  I'd try adjusting the idle leaner and adjust the
timing before anything.
