Re: [doc] Advice required - Classic Cars/Unleaded (not a DeLorean)



John, I'm a little puzzled that a 1987 car would "need" to run on leaded
fuel. There's a difference between needing to and being able to run on
it. The DeLorean will quite happily run on leaded as long as the cat has
been removed. But it doesn't need to run on it. That has only to do with
really quite older engines that do not have hardened valve seats
(although this is an area I don't know much about - happy to be
enlightened!). Your 87 car will not have a cat, so it will happily run
on leaded fuel, but I don't think it needs to...?
