Sorry if this is a dumb question... Do any of you use a fuel additive in each tank of gas? I was watching a DIY channel show on car restoration and they mentioned that you should put an additive in y

With the stock compression ratio regular gas is alright. If your head has been shaved a bit you might want the higher octane. Your car will tell you. As to the lead, all the aluminum head cars came w

Can you still find leaded fuel out there? I don't think it exists anymore? Well, there's 100 Low Lead aviation fuel, but that's all I know of right now? I doubt you will have problems with the curren

You don't need a lead-additive in you fuel. My father- a chemist in the petrochemical industry for 30-yearsd and avid Model-A fan, wrote a paper years ago on fuel additives. I have a hard copy of it

-Good old fashioned Regular had TEL, Tetra ethyl lead, which also lubricated the valve seats. Newer cars, post 73/74 have hardened steel valve seats, being aluminum heads, the datsun seats must be br

The regular/leaded/additive topic surfaces with some regularity on the list. Which is OK. I use a lead substitute in the fuel for my 1949 Allis-Chalmers (low-octane no-lead) and our roadster (high-oc

The mechanic that I am taking my roadster too said that if you do not have documentation on the valve seats being replaced, use the additive. In my case, I do not have any documentation or knowledge
