It depends on whether the 435 is stock. A 426 Hemi had 10.25 compression and the L71 has 11 to 1 compression. 91 may be a bit low but I would ask the seller the specs on the motor. Retarding the timing a bit may help as mentioned or the use of octane booster could help too. A 67 435 Corvette is great car that you will enjoy.

You really need to move over to the C1/C2 forum and connect with those gurus if you haven’t already. The depth of experience there on all things C2 is incomparable. Answers here aren’t wrong, but in the C1/C2 forum many L71 owners will reply. Mine’s a high compression L72 and I’ve never used an additive, but run premium non-ethanol. Best wishes. Hope to see you over in the C1/C2 forum. AND I’ve found only Advanced Search here is worth a flip.

Yes I am not that lame, been around the block many times . I love this forum most guys on here are very helpful . Just never had a bb corvette , so wanted to be sure it would run on pump gas . Asked the seller and he said that it runs just fine on pump gas . Going to have car inspected , as its on the east coast ,I am on the west coast . It scored 96.6 on a top flight , he sent the car to f40 motorsports in Connecticut to fix the problems as that's were the car is Hope all goes well I want to drive it .Thanks for the e-mail and Happy Newyear to you .
