Hello everyone,

I have a question about unleaded fuel.
There seems to be some debate as to the negative effects of running
unleaded fuel in my '75 Triumph Spitfire. Should I use a lead
substitute? How much valve damage/degredation can be expected if I do
not use an additive?

I plan on changing the valves and guides to the hardened variety after
the head needs rebuilding. The car only has 35,000 miles on it, and I do
not see this happening anytime soon.

Anybody have any comments on this subject?

Thanks!
Glenn
