Re: your inquiry about av gas . . .
"What is the net wisdom about using av. gas in a '73 TR-6. Mine
sure feels happy when I do, it runs more quietly, requires less
choke time. It is 100 octane low lead BTW."

FYI, I don't know if Unocal has gas stations in your area of the
country, but out here in California still sells 102 octane racing
fuel at a few select stations. If Unocal operates any stations in
your area you should contact the local regional distributor and
ask for a list of the stations that carry it. It's pretty cheap
relative to avgas (I think I last paid about $1.49 a gal.). BTW,
I second the opinions of others on the list re: the effect of
octane and its relationship to price - if it ain't pinging your
wasting your money.
