<VV> Lead in gasoline

[Geoffrey A Johnson]

I have some of the real stuff in my 63 vert right now.   Freshly 
uncorked vintage '72 tank aged premium 
leaded rose' siphoned from my buddies atomic corvair the other day.
In all seriousness, man what a mess lead leaves in an engine that has not 
run since the early seventies.  But free gas 
is free gas.  Car runs well on it too.
