Its only money I paid 8 bucks a gallon for the 110 octane I bought.My quench head Cleveland 4V uses whatever they pump in California which contains alcohol and who knows what else at 91 octane.
It runs pretty good and has a newly rebuilt engine. Would love to try some of the 100 octane stuff they sell here and see what the
car was supposed to run like back in the day. The problem is it would cost $150 to fill my tank.

When I had my last motor rebuilt, I thought I was going to be charged $200 to redo the valve seats, or $150 to have hardened seats installed....your mileage may vary.That being said I did put hardened seats in my heads because I had access to the tools and the seats at very little cost. I installed them myself. I certainly would not have paid machine shop rates to have this done.
Will definitely put a smile on your face

I thought this was settled back in the early 80s.
The "problem" with unleaded fuels and non hardened valve seats is possible wear into the seats by the valve, called seat recession.
Yeah - modern fuel definetly causes "seat recession". :sThe "problem", called seat recession.
Funny, my wife blames my seat recession on old age.Yeah - modern fuel definetly causes "seat recession". :sThe "problem", called seat recession.
