Gasoline

Your 64 would have 10-1 ratio, so you need the highest octane & it may still ping when you really get on it.

Depends on your Compression ratio. If it is 9:1 or lower, then regular is better. If you have higher than 9:1 then the super is better. The lower the octane rating of gasoline the faster it burns which is better, except when it wants to ignite before it is supposed to preignite.

If you have an engine that has been rebuilt within the last 10 years, then your CR is probably down below 9:1 Most kits and nearly all rebuilders use low CR pistons because of the wonderful gas we have nowadays.
