When leaded went away here in the U.S., the manufacturers recommended that
you run 92/93 octane super unleaded. The reason is that the lead helps w/
detonation. That is all you need to do.
The extra cost of 20 cents a gallon (here in the U.S.) is minimal over the
course of a year of use for most people and it will make a difference.


I can't use 92 octane in the '50 International - knocks like a sob.

Regular and an additive - 54 year old motor - works for me.


Hmm....what additive are you using in that older clunker motor of of
yours...Cialis? :}


ROTFL!!!!

Yeah - and after four hours if it's still running, I have to shut it
off. :)

That engine is a sweet heart. 220 CID - straight six - old timey sock
style oil filter, bizillion gallon cooling system - man, that's a
truck.
