Re: [T3] 1500S pistons

<x-flowed>Hmmm.. I could have sworn that Everett had mentioned that the 
requirement for 96 octane wasn't correct any more.  I think this was 
because the octane ratings have changed since '64/'65 and that today's 
current 91/93 octane gas was more than enough for the 1500S pistons.

Please correct me if I'm wrong on this one but I could have sworn that 
there was a discussion similar to this on the list a few months back 
when I got my 1500S pistons at the classic.  How can I tell what brand 
they are?
