60 --- Most probably Butane -- it was considered a by product and less expensive than Gasoline.
Some shaved heads to increase the compression for running on LPG- IE Butane

Sixty's on Butane

attached are two photo's taken at the Traynam Ranch - Arbuckle, Ca
Shows three Sixty's that were converted to use butane for fuel.
I do not have a photo, Calvert collection was sold some time ago, there was a Sixty in it that was running on LPG -   
Today - almost all available fuel is LPG - commonly Propane.
Enjoy
