I'll probably invest in an engine rebuild sometime in the near future. Is
there any way that I can tell if the valve seat hardening has already been
done?

Dan,
As I recall, they were designed for leaded fuel. What my son did with his
'72 GT6 was to use a lead substitute that he bought at his local auto parts
store. When you're ready to pull the head, you can have the valve seats and
valves redone for unleaded fuel. I did that with my '74 Spitfire. Not a
problem.

I have an opportunity (?) to purchase a 1972 GT-6 MK3 cheap. It's been a
while, but do they require leaded gas to run? If so, how do the listers
cope with that requirement?
