Re: [T3] 1500S pistons
> 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.

The S motor required 95 RON according to specifications on the back of a
Notchback brochure I have. This is equivalent to 91 in the USA.
