My son is stationed in San Diego where gas is $4.29 / gallon. He has converted a Holley 4160 with these weird spacers between the bowl and the metering blocks , the maker of which claims you can run E85 in a regular engine. There is a little screw on top to change it back to straight gas when necessary. The reason for this is the E is $2.89 currently. The project seems to work for the most part , but has a hesitation right off the bottom. Its a full size GMC with a 350 of unknown origin, 4 speed, 373 gears. He is currently not running a air cleaner. Not knowing how cars designed to burn E85 actually do it, I was hoping someone would explain the process , so I would be better equipped to help him . We welcome all suggestions. Thanks , Fritz
