Default Methanol or Alky

I am really considering switching my DS over to one of the 2. I was wondering what the pros and cons of each where. And also there are no actual tuner shops here where I live and I more then likely will have to order parts from the net and ship my motor off if need be. But I dont know where the start and what to look for, so any help will be appreciated.

Methal alchahol........methanol=alky



It's fairly easy to convert or attach another carb. I know of several places that sell bolt up alky carbs, but not for the DS. If I remember rite sudco.com has the convertion kits and carbs for the DS, call them.

Same thing !
Once you have an Alky Carb. you can go back to fuel with jet change, but not the other way.

I feel you should run the top end lube in all motors running alky. Just my personal preference.Bubba

I believe it's 1/2 oz. oil per gallon of alky. I'm using Klotz Uplon. Directions are on label.
