Question for friend
he got a 68 camaro off his dad, it used to run on a 100+octane (probally turbo blue) and leaded gas, it has a turbo, the car has been unused and sat since around 86
the question is
would the turbo be fine on around 93 octane and unleaded gas or would he have to get a new one(im not really sure on this since i really never delt with turbos and either has he)

Re: Question for friend
maybe, or timing, i'm not gonna act like know. i don't even have a turbo on my ----, but i do know octane is related to compression and timing. you may need to just lower boost or something.
hopefully someone else here can answer for sure

Re: Question for friend
Im guessing this has a carburator?? if so you might just need to rejet the carb. also how much boost??
the compression ratio is only half the problem...if you run 100 oct its requires more gas to make the correct mixture than if he was running 93...the compression might be fine for 93 or you might have to turn the boost down. either way it should be able to run fine on 93 octane. $0.02 dave
