Re: [FWDLK] Unleaded gas for leaded cars

["Bill K." <pontiac@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Generally if a car was run for years on the leaded enough deposits remain
that it protects the valves for a long time after.   It's only when a valve
job is done that one need install hardened seats, as usually the lead is
ground away in the valve work.

I've run several older engines on unleaded and not had a problem -
