Nick,
I'm running a '73 BGT here in Holland and although they haven't
introduced compulsory unleaded yet, it will be coming soon. At present
I'm running on Texaco "Super with lead substitute" because Texaco have
withdrawn normal 4-star leaded fuel from their pumps all across the
Netherlands. So far (about 3 months) all is going well. When I first
started using it the engine was a little lumpy but it seemed to settle
down after a few days. There are no problems yet as far as I can see
although heaven knows what the lead substitute is pumping into the
atmosphere. I plan to get a lead-free head fitted as soon as funds allow
and hope that the valves don't give up in the meantime.
Regards,
Garry Hill
