First let me say I'm new to the forums and this website. I recently acquired a '68 Firebird 400 from my father. He restored it about 25 years ago and several weeks ago passed it on to me! The car was shipped from PA to MO and I'm on the hunt for gas. He put some 110 octane in it before shipping it out here. Runs great! So now I have a few questions for all of you...
I found a VP Racing Fuels distributor close to where I live. Pricey fuel but they make some street legal stuff for vintage cars. Is this my best option?
I found some gas stations that sell 93 octane with zero ethanol. Is this my best option? If so, I assume I should add a lead additive to the tank? Motor Medic lead substitute...is this good stuff? Should I also add an octane booster? If so, what do you recommend?
Or....do I by some good VP fuel and cut it with the 93 octane from the pump? Do I still need to add the lead substitute or will there be enough in the VP leaded fuel to accommodate the 93 octane unleaded?
I want to run what's good for the motor but safe for my wallet at the same time.
