1970 350/300 fuel requirements
If I run Gum-Out or some equivalent through the engine, followed by an oil change with Slick50; can I use unleaded premium without any problems?

I have a 350/300 with a 350/350 cam and have been running unleaded premium for the 30+ years i have owned it. No problems. I think you are talking about an oil flush and an oil change with additives. Not sure how this would help fuel issues. For the oil, I would use a high zinc content oil if you are running the stock flat tappet (or any flat tappet) cam. Off-the-shelf oils don't have the zinc content they once did and don't protect the cam as well as the older formulation oils. Are you having fuel issues?

Should run on unleaded premium without doing either of those two things.

My question is why would you put Slick 50 in it? ask any rebuilder what that crap does to the inside of your block. use a quality motor oil suitable for flat tappet cam and leave the snake oil to salesmen
