Re: fuel mix

I have 1972 Chrysler 55.

What fuel mix do I use ?

I usually use a mixture of unleaded gas and oil...:D

I would think your Chrysler 55 is the same as my force 125... 50/1 ratio

40:1 is probably safer for an older motor. If it smokes too much back it down to 45:1.

Re: fuel mix

They design the oil and the motors to run 50-1
Too much oil will carbon the rings and there you go that older motor takes a crap,even though you babied it and gave it extra oil.:)

50:1 mix. 87 octane fuel. To rich and you will gum up your piston rings.
