Dear listers,



With all the talk about alternative fuels I was thinking (always a scary
thing!), what would it take to run a LBC on E85.  With SU's I would think
you would have to change the needles to something a lot richer.  Not sure if
the diaphragm in a Stromberg could handle that high of a percentage of
alcohol.  I know that SU had some "experimental Methanol Needles" available
at one time (I think Joe Curto has some).  So, put your thinking caps on and
let's discuss E85 for LBC's.
