vx1964 Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Greetings all.Here's an easy one(or so i thought!). What grade of fuel should i run my 1984 Manta 1.8s auto on? Opinions differ on this,unleaded,super-unleaded,additives,advance- retard ignition.Help! Also the car seems very low geared,4000 rpm at 70mph?Is that about right? The car is totally standard by the way Many thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vauxsenb Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Revs to speed ratio sounds about right to me, my old Cavvy CIH 2.0 auto felt much the same but I do remember it being essentialy a 3-spd box and able to hit 85 in 2nd so was no slouch either.
