"Loss of horsepower had nothing to do with TEL substitutes in gasoline"It certainly did. The compression ratios in early 70s cars were down to 8:1. HP on Caddys in the early 70s were less than they were on my 68 Nova (8.5). All due to lead being removed as an anti knock compound. Prior to that, compression ratios were 9;1 or better with belt HP ratings over 400. |
