Thank you.
And All, disregard my question about fuel and additives, I have found other threads discussing it.

unleaded is all you've got!

Back then octane was about 50 and lead was just beginning to show slowly in about 1931.

The compression ratios were so low because the fuel was such crap; any higher and they pinged like crazy; Kettering invented lead additive to stop the pinging
