Having LOTS of trouble starting my 1995 Chevrolet van with the metal 350 engine.
Switched from 87 octane 10% ethanol to 91 octane pure gas. Now, it starts like it's supposed to.

Then I'd say you have a problem with the engine that will probably only get worse. I have a 1993 Chevy pickup with an ancient 350 that starts great on the 87 octane gas w/ethanol. I also have over 20 other engines around here that work well on the same stuff. Even the old push type rotary mower started on the first pull after sitting for 2 years!
You're right on time. Today (Monday Oct 21) the exhaust sheared, just front of the muffler. And it runs very poorly.
