Thank you for all the information.  After reading comment and going back to engine builder, the compression was not measured but determined it was way more than 10:5 as many commented.  I found 100 octane fuel near me and that fix the issue.  I appreciate all the advice. 

FYI.  If you replace your tank during a restoration the venting notch is sold separately!  LOL  Problemed solved.  Thanks for the photos and info.  You cannot view this attachment.You cannot view this attachment.You cannot view this attachment.

I was having issue with detonating at WOT.  Went to drain the fuel and notice my tank was dented in.  My issue with detonation at wot was the car was staving for fuel.  The gas cap is always hard to open and has a rubber gasket around it.  The builder put a piece of rubber around it not allowing it to vent.  Does the gas cap on these car allow for venting or should they have a fuel pickup with a vent tube?  With out the gasket on cap I would worry about slosh on acceleration.

Thank you to all.  I will test it out and see if it solves the issue.

The compression is about 10:5 and running 92 octane from the pump.

I'm having a issue with my car detonation at WOT.  If you ease into the second carb it fine, it's only when you stomp on it.  I have a 428pi with bk/bj carbs and the cam below.  Dual point mechanical advance only dist. 35* total dwell.  6* intial timing/32* all in timing.  C7AE factory ford cast iron heads.  Less than 5% leak down, 230-240- psi compression numbers.  Idels currently at 17" of vacuum at 850 rpms.  3.50 rear gear if important. Currently running 92 octane pump gas.  Didn't know if the fuel is the issue and should be running 106 or a carb issue or something else.  Any suggestion would be appreciated.  Compression is about 10:5.

Thanks

Thank you.  I should have done a search for old thread first. 

I have two different styles of 3/4" lug wrenches for mag star wheels.  One has no holes in the handle and the other has holes going thru the middle of the handle. Did the original handles have holes in the handle?You cannot view this attachment.

I just finished restoring my GT500.  I was thinking about putting a protective wrap on my car since I will be driving it a lot.  Has anyone used these protective wraps?  Pros and Cons.
