my hearing isn't all that great so I have an MSD spark control on my HEI and an MSD knock sensor so I can retard the advance curve. I have found 87 to be good most of the time while towing my Toyota but I generally top the tank with a higher octane when I have some serious mountains to climb as the knock sensor will start to do a slow dance on 87 when I start climbing even when I retard the initial to 2 degrees.

I have no problem with knock sensors. Installing one is probably a good move for us hard of hearing folks. I have a knock sensor in my coach sitting in the right seat. That is how I determined my static timing setting. I ran it up until it pinged and then backed it of 2 degrees. That is where it sits now several years later. Since I seldom go in real mountains I never need to change my timing. I did climb Trail Ridge Road in Rocky Mountain National Park one time up to the top at 11,000 feet and I have been through Eisenhower tunnel a couple of times which also is around 11 k. But other than those I I'm usually 5,00 or below.

But back to his original question, 87 octane should be just fine
for him in the Eastern areas. Since it is a new coach to him I just wanted him to listen to make sure his initial timing and advance were working OK.
