[T3] Eastern Invasion Caravan

[Keith Park]

In general, at sea level, with NY gas anyway:
Stepped heads and dished pistons, run 87
Stepped heads and flat pistons, run 89
flat heads and pistons, 91-93
Domed pistons and flat heads.... AV gas!  100 octane!

This is for highway runs, round town you can get away with a lower
grade sometimes.  Basically, the cheapest gas it wont knock and ping on.

Higher altitudes can run lower octane.

 Have to ask . What brand and grade of the unleaded fuel were you filling up

with ?

  I am not that far from where the invasion was. I always got 87 octane and 
my 73 seemed to run fine on it , been told it would be better with 89 but I 
don't see a difference.
