What is suggested for a lead additive for the NO LEAD gasoline. I'm using the 97 octane on my 1965 1800S, however I'm concerned about valve wear due to the lack of lead. I know for a fact that the valve seats are original and have not been replaced with hardened seats. Should I be concerned about driving without lead in the gasoline? I remember a product called Real Lead, that you could buy for the older motors. Havent been able to find it. What are the rest of you doing for an additive? I have a 2,500 mile trip coming up, and I don't want to take any chances. I've seen Gumout lead substitute, has anyone tryed it?
