About six weeks ago I acquired a beautiful '58 Southampton 4dr.
27,000 original miles and runs great. No performance problems
whatsoever and I hope to keep it that way. The man I bought the car from
has collected primarily 1950s American cars for many years and presently has
over 20 in his collection. All in excellent shape. This guy knows
plenty about cars and he has strongly advised me to add "CD-2 Lead
Substitute" at the rate of one oz. per 10 gallons of gasoline every
second time I fill the tank with high test gas. I've been doing
that and everything seems fine. A few days ago I met another man who also
claims to know a lot about old cars and he said I should definitely NOT add lead
substitute to the tank. He claims that could harm the engine and told me
to simply burn the highest octane unleaded premium gasoline I could find.
What do you guys advise? Opinions? I want to keep my old HEMI
healthy & happy.
