Yes it is a slower burn BUT IT BURNS LONGER And no fouling of plugs and if you would listen to what i tell ya then you would learn something . As said before the tractors of the early 60's thru the mid seventys were made to run the GAS OF THE DAY and that gas was of 95 octain for reg not the 87 of today as this 87 gas is a flash burn and leaves carbon deposits on plugs Like i said try what i am and have been telling ya what are ya out. I fought this problem with a lot of local tractors that are still doing today that they did when they were new , working for a living . I fought this on one buddys tractor somany times i got tired of running over to his place to put plugs in . What i did was took the tractor down to the local gas station and filed on my dollar with the 93 hightest and told him to run it and when it needed gas to go back down and fill it and put it on my bill , if that did not make the tractor run any better he owed me nothing if the tractor went one week with out eating even the motorcraft that i had installed then he owed me the gas bill and the parts plus service call. Since then once a year i still go to his farm and tune up his 460 with one new set of motor crafts and I H points and cond. and that tractor runs everyday on the mixer wagon. So again don't knock it till ya try it along with a good major tune up . Remember i did this for a living . and i know what i am talken about.
