Okay.  Laugh if you must, but someone please tell me what this is all about.

I've seen references to 289 HP and HiPo, which I think are the same, and 289 K
engines.  What are you cats talking about?  Do these two designations describe
different engines?  What are the differences?  My Tiger has the stock 289
engine; is it a K or HP -- or neither?

And as long as I'm trying to figure out what's been making my car go for the
last twenty-eight years, help me out with something else.  What is the unleaded
92 octane juice that passes for fuel in California doing to my engine?  The car
runs fine and seems to have proper power, but does benefit from 104 octane boost
in the mountains.
