NoDOHC will become famous soon enough
I didn't do anything to the fuel system, it is bone stock.

Stock '86 460 cc/min injectors (rebuilt 30,000 ish miles ago for my NA engine and transfers to the TII since it was still NA)
Stock TII fuel rail
Uncoated and unlined fuel tank
Original fuel lines
Original Fuel pump
You get the idea.

Looking back, it was not the smartest idea I have ever had, I did prove my point though, E85 starts just fine on a low compression ratio (8.2:1) engine if you have programmable EFI. Several friends who still use carbs were convinced that E85 required at least 12:1 compression ratio to start on a 40 degree day.

I should have thought of the 20+ years of trash in my tank when I did it though.

When I get a chance, I will go ahead and replace the entire fuel system, I needed a new fuel pump at 212,000 miles anyway
