Dave, My 0.02 cents worth.
My recollection of when I was in Canada two years ago is that your systems are exactly
the same as ours. Here in Australia leaded fuels have been phased out for quite a few years now. The best remaining fuel to use in a fifty year old car is a regular (about 82-85 octane) Unleaded Petrol (ULP) together with an after-market upper cylinder lubricant,
which you can buy at any fuel stop and squirt into the tank in the appropriate proportions. It is also possible to have your old car’s valves, valve guides etc converted to run on ULP but why would you bother. High octane ULP is not recommended (or of any use) for old cars, and still needs
lead replacement additives. Ethanol additives (which we use a lot) are also not recommended for old cars. Regards, Colin Wolf From: 1962to1965mopars@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:1962to1965mopars@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]
On Behalf Of David Hi Cory, From: Cory Rempel <cory_383@xxxxxxxxxxx> Hey all. A short while back there was a discussion about higher octane gas and how it's suppose to make your car perform better. Well I'm here today to say that is utter
B.S. I put 3/4 of a tank of premium in my 65 Polara. The tank was pretty much bone dry, so it was like 98% premium fuel in the tank. Premium gas in Canada is 91 octane regular is 87. I've got a mildly built 440 in the car with a 25 gallon tank (95 litres).
