My 66 began to run quite rough all of a sudden. I had just put in 10 gallons on high "super unleaded" fuel. Is this not a recomended fuel for older trucks?

You don't need to run anything but cheap regular unleaded in a '66, but super shouldn't have made it run rough either, unless the fuel filter plugged up somehow.

Like 4onthefloor says, you're just wasting your hard earned money by putting anything but 87 octane in your tank. All the higher octane fuel does is resist detonation for awhile, so it MAY be affecting your timing a small amount.
