quick question....
I just realized, I have no idea what these cars run on.... I bought 3
gallons of 97 "supreme" octane petrol, but I have no clue if that is
necessary. What spridegts were designed to run leaded fuel? any? all? as I
understand it... the A series engine runs about 8.5 :1 compression, what
octane should I run to prevent detonation?
I could always just experiment and try 87 octane and see if it
pings/pinks/detonates/knocks ...
As always, thanks for your help...
