you cant just put ethanol in any car,,it has to be setup for it..

I've been putting gas with 10% ethanol from my local "Sheetz" from premium to super in my tank, and I've ran without a problem... Come to think of it, I've changed my ignition (entire distributor) twice, and I've had to change my Bosch Platinum 4s since I've been filling up there. After a while my ignition freaked and RPMs would jump for a while and then finnally the Rpms jumped lower and lower until I reached a complete stop and had to push it back up to my friends.

I'd change the gas check to see if you installed those Platinum 4s, as I am told that they are not right for the B16...
