6B6 has autogas on the field and I suspect Don can tell you exactly what 
is in it (PS What do you fly?  I thought Leo had the only Coupe on the 
field).  Personally I do not trust autogas.  It is not that it does not 
work (I leared to fly at BED and they used autogas in their trainers) 
but it is that I do not know what is in the autogas you buy at your 
local gas station.  When 82UL comes out I will buy an STC for it but 
until then I prfer to run 100LL as I know what additives are (or are 
not)in it.  When I can I fly to 7B3 to get 80 (the only place left with 
it now that the cape no longer carries it)

Actually I disagree.  The rope trick is where you thread a few feet of 
3/8 inch cotton rope into the spark plug hole at BDC and turn the prop 
slowly to free a stuck valve (I carry rope and a spark plug wrench in my 
baggage compartment for this).  I do not think dropping the valves into 
the cylinder to ream them out has a name but I could be wrong.
