I use premium which, around Montreal, tends anywhere from 91-94 octane.
Years ago I ran on regular (87) for a while and discovered that the engine
would diesel horribly after even a mile of driving. Since then I have
completely rebuilt the engine so perhaps the carbon that was heating is
gone, but nevertheless I have stayed with Premium

Subject: TR6 Gasoline
I just purchased a 1974 TR6 and have a basic question. What kind of gas
should I use. I assume it was intended to use regular, the manual
indicates an octane of at least 99. The best unleaded around me is only
92.
Should I add an octane booster? Or I've also seen a releading solution.
Also, is there a way to tell if the engine has been altered to accept
unleaded?
Thanks for the help.
