I've recently heard that leaded gas is being outlawed by the EPA,
and will be unavailable sometime within the next 5 years.  I have
a 68 T-bird with a 429, that originally used to run on Premium gas
(can't find it anymore).  Using a mixture of Regular and Unleaded-
Premium does sorta-ok, but not like it used to run.  With the
elimination of leaded gas altogether, will I have to convert the
engine to run on unleaded gas, and what does this involve ?
(Maybe I should just sell it if an engine conversion is next-to-
impossible - anybody want a T-bird with suicide doors?)

Please reply by mail since I don't read this group too often.
Thanks in advance.
