I had a similar problem a few years ago with a newer car. I was told to get
a can of BG (or B&G) which comes in a short round can with a pull tab top
and contains about a pint of fluid. It is an engine treatment. Sorry can't
remember more about the stuff. At the recommendation of the technician I
put a can in the gas tank and ran a full tank on the highway. I don't
normally believe in these types of products but this one worked. Took the
car back after the run and the emmissions dropped to almost zero!
BTW do not use Jet fuel in your engine - does a lot of damage

I might suggest finding a local place that sells racing fuel.
Fill your tank with very high octane and this will help with the burn.
If you can't find it at a pump, go to your local small airport. Most cities
have an airport for the small two seat planes.
The fuel looks clear/blue.
Smells really good out the pipes!
A bit expensive.

Doug this is the kind of thing I am looking for. Of course it's all
original so no way has it been incorrect assembly. and the car has
passed emissions before without major problems.
