    Seat Belts Save Lives

    Will High Octane Gas Reduce Knock in a 5.5 or 6.1 Head?

    I have both of these in my two Model A's and I am very careful about not using too much spark advance in my cars. Will using premium no alcohol high octane gas reduce or eliminate my worries about knock as with 87 octane?

    Brassworks ‘28 Show Quality vs Active Driver?
