It had an 850 double pumper on it before with the choke horn milled and annular boosters. it now has a 750 on it.

No other changes were made just put the e85 carb on it and filled it with e85. my fuel system was already setup for it.

Haven't changed timing I was running 36 degrees on gas and still running it that way.
