We have been running into problems with the Ethanol in the gas causing =
Lack of power, Overheating, Missfires. Especially on the Tri carb =
motors.

Try installing Rich Needles. They will make up for the Ethanol which is =
causing a lean mixture.

Valve adjustment we use .015 cold with the Welch cams.

I have been experiencing less than stellar performance with my 100 =
Lemans and need to go back to basics.

What is the wisdom (I don't ask for consensus!) on appropriate needles =
for the carbs (HS6) and what spark plugs are folks favoring these days?=20

Also what tappets clearances are folks used for a DW AL head in the =
"fast road" or stage 2 tune with DW tubular headers?  If it matters I =
have installed a Mallory MagLite distributor.
