Firstly - anybody got a suitable bonnet release cable for Baz ... 1980 Mk2 Custom
Also, Baz has a low mileage Pinto engine. I found a bottle of additive in the van which would suggest it hasn't been modified to run on unleaded. I obviously want to keep the engine, what is the best way forward?
Thanks

I am sure I read on here that some of the later 202/205 heads are unleaded, I am sure I remember the post saying that there were letters cast into the head to identify them.
I have a couple of later 202/205 heads in stock, if a fellow member could clarify the identification markings, I could sort a head out for you while Baz is with us.
