&
& Beware making ignition mods in CA. Why? THE GAS. By simple putting the Mopar
& Perf. SBEC on you'll have to run 92 octane gas with a booster. Otherwise your& Dak will turn into a ping-box at high rpm in 3rd and 4th (5spd). Local
& speedshop owner told me that he was present for tests done by Mopar Perf. chief
& engineer Larry Shepard at the Chelsea Proving grounds. Outcome: All the
& Jacobs stuff is useless with the MP SBEC and CA gas. Dump a bottle of 104+ in& with the 92 octane and everything worked as it should.

So will CA gas be ok with the MP computer and a stock ignition?
