Default Another octane booster

I'm planning to buy this octane booster product because it can do so many good things.

http://kalecoauto.com/index.php?main...products_id=46

Just to be safe, I'm going to use it regardless of what anyone else says.

And, will their cross-drilled brake lines fit my '64 coupe?

Jerry,

great lampoon on the "octane boost" industry

BTW - got the PV with the 1963 - was hot and humid day in Bahstun, but had NO percolation problem with the CAM 2 in the gas tank - had basically run the car almost to empty and put in 2 1/2 gallons - set the idle mixture settings like you advised

Kale is a forum member and that site is hilarious. I particularly like the cross drilled brake lines

You should be very proud of your car, Rick. That's a tough test to pass.

Thanks for this site. I contacted them and they agreed to manchine any of the parts in transparent aluminum for added strength and less weight.

No, but their dual numbered amp gauges and rev. kits work. I tried some of their high lift floor mats once, but didnt like them.
