I also remember a '60's street racing trick of adding 1 gal of laquer thinner and a handful of moth balls to the gas tank. Don't add to much, or you'll lean out and burn a hole in a piston.

It was not that many years ago, (10 to 12 maybe) when I drag raced my 65 fastback a few times a year at Ford only events. I had no trailer so I drove it to the track, raced it and drove it home...
I'd stop at Auto Zone, buy a gallon of virgin laquer thinner and borrow their trans. funnel, pour it in the tank and then go across the street and finish filling it up with 93 octane and head out to the track..... The tank held a total of 16 gallons, did this many times over the years till the price of laquer thinner got crazy........
still running that very same motor and it's never been apart since I built it in the early 90's..........
The guys behind the counter at Auto Zone still think I'm crazy to this day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
