Fuel Question
Hello
I found a 1960 F100 with the original 292 motor installed.
Is it safe to run unleaded fuel without an additive, preventing damage to the valves. Thanks in advance for any comments

the new fuel will dry out old rubber hoses and the like, replace ALL hoses to be safe, filter, etc. engine should be ok to run, however, you could use a lead additive or 1oz marvel oil to 1 tank just to insure valve seat and guide lubrication.
