Nothing to add

THE advice is basically correct. All alloy-head engines have valve inserts, but some are not hardened to the degree needed to survive the pounding when using unleaded fuel. But Falcons and Fairlanes have been running around for years on LPG without trouble, so they'll survive fine on unleaded. So, yes, run your Fairlane on PULP for the octane rating you need without adding a lubricant.
