My '75 Spit does not have a catalytic converter,and the Haynes shop

I seem to get the feeling from all the responses I got that using
unleaded fuel is not a problem.
Thanks to everyone!

My 76 is a non-catalytic version - hence requires leaded gasoline. I would
reccomend using a lead substitute in your fuel unless the head has been
rebuilt with newer valve guides (seats-whichever).
My 76 Owners Manual states that the occasional tank of unleaded fuel will
not introduce serious damage, but this should be avoided.
My $0.02 worth.
