Hi - what's the recieved wisdom about the best way to run Minis on
unleaded fuel?  Mine has just got running again after a number of years
and I can't quite remember how we had it set up - I think we were using
96 unleaded with slightly hotter plugs than stock.  Does that sound
right to you guys?

TIA,

Peter (stoked to have the Mini back from the grave!!!!)

Probably best to buy an unleaded head, there are loads of them about and it
wont cost a fortune.

Shell Optimax or BP equivalent used with a lead additive.

If you can't get the high octane petrol use an aditive with an octane
booster.
