I have, but its been under a cover in the back garden for 2 years. I think i might sell it as its only going to deteriorate and i have a few other cars i am having fun with

Got mine MOTed last year but haven't used it as it runs like a pig. The chap i brought it off said it had been converted to run on unleaded but i am not so sure. Saving pennies up at the moment to get it sorted. What other cars do you have.

 

[SLIPSHOD & SLAPDASH]

The small amount of milage done in these cars shoudn't make any difference if an leaded head is still there (like mine)

 

[Sidewinder]

The lead was primarily to protect the valve seats it prevents pitting as it acts as a lubricant.

The only other thing may be that unleaded is lower octane than 4* IIRC, so the timing may need a tweak.

I worked loads on 60's, 70's, 80's, & early 90's motors!

 

[SLIPSHOD & SLAPDASH]

I look forward to it every year, what car are you bringing or are you just looking?

My brother in law takes his Matchless down each year and has won a few prizes, perhaps i will catch up if your around.

I will be there in my Metalic blue 68 Plymouth Roadrunner, probably the only one there.

Yeh ! That was a very cold wet day and they let anyone in, still a good turnout though.

I thought lead was an anti-knocking agent?
