Hey guys, i have a 64 4 door belair with a inline 6 235 motor. Nothing speacial. Anyway, i hear that you are suppose to ass some sort of lead addative everytime you filll up on gas to help lubrucate the engine. Is this true? And is there a way to get around it, so i can run off regular pump gas, and not have to use an addative?THX
Tacoma?? and you live in Medford??.hehe...you didn'y say what the compression ratio is. If it is 10:1 or less, regular should be ok.or you can get the valve seats hardened to save on detonation I believe
My father ran the exact same motor in his 65 C-10. Diddnt do any damage to that engine. However, if you want to be safe, you could harden the valve seats and re-ring it. I think thats all thats involved with a un-leaded conversion.

In a lightly stressed engine such as you have it's not an issue.
Yeah, what Bob said.....
My '51 has a 235 in it and, the guy I bough it from had lead substatute in the trunk so, I'll use it because I got it.
YEA TACOMA lol its my favorite truck. I rolled it last year. Thx for the info guys WHat would be a rough estimate to harde the valce seats and get the motor re-ringed?
