I CAN'T FIND REDLINE ANYWHERE AROUND HERE.
I'M GOING ON A TRIP TODAY. I'M GONNA HAVE TO GO 6.5 ROYAL PURPLE AND BIOGUARD. PLEASE ADVISE, BECAUSE I THINK BIOGUARD IS EXTRA VISCOUS, WOULD YOU RECOMMEND 5W-20 OR 30 WITH THE 1/2 QT BIOGUARD? THANK YOU!

Heck, sometimes, I would just move the dashpot a bit tweaked so the bump stop would make a higher RPM instead of turning/tuning air and fuel and rpm ratios. Those old Friggin Rochester Quads were a PITA. The holleys were friendlier, but the Rochesters, argh.

Nothing was worse than the ford Venturi carbs back in the eighties.

Hey Sarge, check out the synthetic oil thread. You get answers to questions you didn’t know should ask. I’d be inclined to stick with 5-20 when using bioguard the first time, if you don’t achieve the desired results then you can go up to 5-30 with the bioguard. SEMPER FI from an old navy Doc.
