Hi,
I'm new to the club and considering getting another dolomite sprint. My question is how can I tell if the engine has been converted to unleaded fuel are there any tell tale signs please

Sprints already have hardened valve seats so none of them have/need to be converted.

Thanks for the info, something I didn't know. I last had one
In 77 so that didn't matter at the time.

My understanding is it is true of all cars with alloyheads. No doubt someone will now point out some exceptions to that rule.
