Hi Fred,
I generally add a pint of marvel mystery oil to the gas when I fill her up. I never let it go below a quarter of a tank
so I guess it would eventually build up in the tank. I have found that it keeps the carbon out of the upper part of the
engine. I have not had a ping problem with my truck and it has the original 230 ohc engine. I did have to have one of
the valve seats welded as there was a hairline crack in it when I got it but since the head job she runs like a sewing
machine. The mechanic and the parts guy both recommended MMO to take care of the lead issue. I may be mistaken but
haven't had any troubles yet.

Hi Everyone,
Could someone kindly advise me as to what ratio of lead additive-to-unleaded
gas I should be feeding my '67 M715 with the original Kaiser 230 "Tornado"
engine in it? I have not driven the vehicle that much since I've owned it
and have noticed it pinging under acceleration and under load. I understand,
if left untreated, the unleaded gas can cause damage to the valve seats. Any
help would be much appreciated.
