Now i know this may be a stupid question but here it is i have a 1950 Chevrolet 3100 and it has the newer 235 in it. Do i need to use leaded gas in it or does unleaded work. Thank you.

There is quite a bit of back and forth about this, but most of us run unleaded in our 235's just fine. If you keep the valves adjusted the seats should outlast the rings and you can just have hardened seats inserted the next time you need the motor rebuilt.

Thank you much i already figured i would harden the seats when i rebuild it but it just runs so good now i figured i would leave it for a while so i wanted to make sure it was okay to run unleaded till i want to rebuild it.
