I have a 73 2.0L basically stock with hydraulic lifters and a mild cam. I am curious about what type of fuel (octane rating) you guys run. It runs ok on the 87 but I saw a sticker that says 91 recommended so I have been running 92 octane but cant really tell a difference.

I am also looking for oil recommendations type and weight, as well as transmission fluid recommendations.

I want to use my car for light auto-cross and it is a semi daily driver.

Thanks!

Well... looks like I am going to switch back to the 87 octane then. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

Is there any advantage to running synthetic or a synthetic blended oil?
