don't use rubbing alcohol, it won't work.

if you have a source for ethanol or methanol use that instead. if not go to home depot and pick up a gallon of "denatured alcohol". run your tank to almost empty and pour the whole gallon in. if detonation occurs devance the timing 2 degrees, it probably won't occure with a stock motor and bolt-ons.

i passed smog easily with a b20 and gutted cat using denatured alcohol.
