What's the difference between leaded and unleaded. I heard it's a myth

I see you kicked a 7 year old thread here.
Leaded gas is unavailable in CA.. but I can still fine 100 octane no-lead in a few places in San Diego. My '61 has a 1970 LT-1 motor (11:1 cr)

This is a useful site: http://www.pure-gas.org/

Quite a few places: Shell at Clinton Keith and I-15, 76 at Vineyard and Holt in Ontario, and there are others. Propel or Pearson. LOL - brand new at the pump.
