<VV> regular gas and fuel economy in a 110hp corvair

[Michael Kovacs]

First and easiest answer is that the 110 was not meant to run on 87-89 octane. Set the timing / dwell by the book and experiment with the octane. You gotta do a lot of head work to even approach 87 octane.  Be sure the is no vacuum advance at idle. Maybe 20-24 on highway?

I finally have my 65' Monza 110/PG coupe daily driver on the road and ready to go. My fuel mileage has been terrible, and it pings on regular so I had to retard the timing. 

I would like some advice on how best to make the 110 economical to commute with. Advice on timing settings and other adjustments would be much appreciated!


Thanks!
