> 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.
