I have ordered some new jets and rods for my carburetor so that I can lean it down from where it is right now. The mpg in this thing really sucks right now, it's down at 10.1mpg. It is way less than where it should be with this motor, I should be getting at least 17 or so, even without the hydroxy added to the motor. Right now I'm unable to get the cell into the spot where I want it in the car so once I decide on either 1) getting new fittings and lines to run to the motor, cell, and tank, or 2) getting new bolts for the cell, I will get the cell into the car and start putting the gas in the car. Of course when I do start putting the hydroxy in the motor in large amounts I'll have to get valves that I can control by the throttle and find a way to meter it even across the RPM range so that I can evenly lean out the motor and make it a gradual change to hydroxy. I will also have to figure out a way to keep the motor running at all times so that I can keep the water from freezing until I find a better way to keep that from happening.
