I've run all my LBC's on unleaded for years here in Canada without any
problems and no pinging either.  actually I always run 'em on the cheap
lower octane stuff and they always run fine.  I compared it with using
higher octane(94), but found no difference in performance.  Isn't the
exhaust from leaded fuel especially toxic?  Isn't this why they got rid of
lead in paint...because it is toxic for children?   I really don't see the
arguement for leaded fuel as there are lots of English cars still running
without it.                                   Has anyone used a generic
Cat.con on any of there vehicles without using an EG valve?  I was curious
if my Spitfire would burn one of those types or converters up fast or if it
would reduce the emissions adequately?  I'm having some trouble getting
this thing to pass the emissions tests here as my car doesn't have any of
smog gear on it.
