This may be a very silly question, but what kind of juice can i put in a '64 Splitty's tank. I have heard that LRP is worse than unleaded, and that i should try the latter instead?

I've been using LRP for about 30,000km now with no problems on a 1600SP. I've been paying close attention to signs of valve seat recession, but everything's normal so far.

It depends on the valve seats? If your heads have the original type material then it should be fine but if your valve seats were replaced at some time with softer metal then thats when you will pick up problems with them..
