Now if you want to keep it running good some of the things ya need to know about a 706 gasser, (1) run 93 octane gas ,(2) keep the in. timing set correctly for the engine size as the C263 sets different then a C291 and you set the timing at full throttle or rated RPM I have found that over the years and i do mean years of working on 706's that the vary best spark plugs to run are either the Auto Lites or A/C C86 's We run two 706 gassers at this time one is a 64 model and one is a 67 , both work each and everyday year round . They get more use then the diesels because they will start when it gets really cold . We work the bag off of them and they give us few problems as long as we use the correct gas and the correct engine oil and oh yes OIL that to is extremely important you MUST use LOW ASH our you will plum eat exhaust valves . Try being CHEAP and not run hightest gas and you eat pistons . This year we ran the one 706 twice what we normally do and our fuel cost sofar this year is around 80 bucks more then normal over what it would be if we tryed to be CHEAP and run reg. , BUT that 80 bucks extra we spent still does not cover the cost of just one piston let lone the rest of the pieces and parts to repair the damage done by reg gas.
