Finding the right fuel

WE HAVE 1966 and 1967 VC Valiants and a 1978 280E Mercedes-Benz, all of which run on lead-replacement fuel. Many service stations don't carry it. What is best to replace it?

THE Valiants need PULP with an upper-cylinder lubricant such as Valvemaster or Flashlube, which can be found at your local servo. Your Benz should run satisfactorily on PULP with no need for an additive.
