I am looking for help on how to modify my 97'ram 1500 to run on alcohol i will be making at home. Its my first project rig and I figured getting it to run on alcohol would be cool.

My neighbor has tools and general know-how. I just need to do research before we start. Thus far I know I will need to get spare parts for any rubber components. I could also just replace those components with parts that are more resistant to the cohesiveness of the alcohol.

I will also have to increase the fule flow as a way of potentially increasing fule mileage. Not sure how to do this sense most of the information I've found is for rigs having carborators. Which I dont have.

Any advice you can give would be great.

Get an edlebrock carburator manifold and a cheap carb.
I don't think you'd easily find a way to map the fuel with a 97 computer to run.

Not positive you'd get fuel injectors to last spraying alcohol either...
