Well, I pulled the trigger last night, so I guess I have bought a coach.
Now to get financing, insurance, etc. and retrieve it from over 450 miles
away from home.

I see from info that it requires 91 Octane fuel. Is this current 91 stuff
or the OLD 91 stuff? If I remember correctly, current 87 or 88 is about
equivalent to the old 91 stuff.

87 is fine. If your hearing is OK, then listen for it to ping while you are driving. If you hear any pinging on heavy load, retard he timing 2 degrees. I do not know anyone personally that uses anything higher than 87. There have seen a few posts here in the past that say they use 89 or 91 but I do not remember who they were.

On the subject of pinging. Listen closely when you first drive the coach. Especially if it has been parked for a while. There have been a few cases of the distributor advance weights rusting and sticking partially or fully advanced causing pinging. Mine did it on time on a trip to my first rally. I stopped and temporarily fixed the problem until I got home. Then I bought a Dick Paterson rebuilt distributor to permanently fix it.
