Re: [oletrucks] Octane inquiry/ Lead additive

[Mushgilday@aol.com]

                            How critical is it for these old engines to be 
fueled with lead additives? Is the overall performance diminished if only 
using an 87 octane with nothing added? I've been running my 235 for a year 
now and have yet to mix anything in with a fillup. Lately I have noticed a 
slight hint of exhaust smoke which was not the case last year. Oil is changed 
frequently and it's been tuned up lately. Any recommendations on the use of 
lead mixtures in the gas?   Thanks
