Great looking 69 400 horse You will be fine with unleaded premium. My 68 big block runs fine on it. No lead, no additives needed.

Beautiful Car! I've got the exact same car in burgandy. I don't add any additives. Here in MN I use 91 Octane without ethanol. It's hard to find but it is available.

Just curious, do you put a lot of miles on your car? I love to drive it, but try to limit the miles per year. This car gets more attention than my other ones. Everyone thinks it is pretty fast, even though it sounds alot faster than it really is.
