Re: hardened valve seats

[David orr <fe2orr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have wondered about this for years as when I had my first new car in 1964, 
a 383 4bbl. 4spd. , that I drove at the drags most every week end  or from 
N.C. to Pa. other week end. I used AMOCO white gas unleaded it worked fine. 
what is the diffenance between the unleaded of 1964 and the unleaded of now. 
I use 93 octane with an additive in my 64 426 street wedge with no problems.
