: I've got a 1929 Roadster pickup That was restored about 5 years ago. It does not have the hardened valves and seats. Does anyone have some good information concerning the lead fuel additives? Should they be used? Which brand? How often?
: At about 3,000 miles per year how will the engine suffer and when?
I used to put a lead additive in my 71 corvette.Recently
I found a website with a "products" area and it had a super
write up on lead replacement products.Article said look for
an additive with MNT or MMT? in it.I found mine at Walmart,
in a black bottle.I remember it had the word "Gold" on the
bottle.I am using it in my A now, however I am new to model
A's so make up your own mind.I do believe the lead used to
prevent valve seat burn. james shotwell jamesandkay@msn.com
