the later low compression 1275s would be better on no lead gas but I am running
2 high and 1 very high compression 1275s on unleaded with no pinking problems.
Also the "no lead head" as the parts suppliers call it, well I rebuilt an engine
in 1983 and it is in it's 3rd Sprite. No valve problems. The only side effects I
can report on is a cleaner running engine, longer spark plug life, and maybe
less pollutants.
