>>The manual says 100 octane is to be used.  Is Sunoco 94 good enough?
What else can I do?

I had an econobox owners manual that said to use a minimum of 94
octane.  I'd been using cheap 87 octane without problems.  It turns out
there are two different methods for computing octane.  I can't remember
the conversion, but the cheap US stuff met the requirement.  I believe
there was an 8-10 point difference.

As to the run on, adjusting the timing fixed this on my TR6.
