100 octane in a 58 Imp ????

["Robert Dervin" <rjdervin@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I need to run 94 octane in my '58 along with a bottle of booster just to 
keep the ping out. That is with only 6 degrees BTC initial and only 19 
degrees total advance. Other added advantages to premium fuels are better 
detergent, more consistancy and smoother running.
