I've been off the list for a while, didn't
realize that unleaded isn't as big a problem
as some part supplies would indicate....
Lead in a can didn't even register.....
I'll head to Pep Boys tonight to see what
they have in case the 1275 doesn't like
decaf.

But it seemed like the only complaint about the 1275 head was that it
didn't
have a no lead conversion. It seems like it's the concensus of the list
that
running no lead is no problem anyway. Slap it back together and go.
And if
you're really worried about it buy some lead in a can?
