my car is a 70 torino cobra with the N code 429. the engine has not been rebuilt, at least not recently. there has been some debate between my friends and i as to what octane fuel i should be using in it, so can somebody settle this for us?

Re: what octane should i be running?

It should say it in the manual you have, but for engines of those years you generally need to be running 91 octane or higher. However, I have been running 89 octane in my car and it runs perfectly fine.
