I kept forgetting but this thread reminded me and I just called the shop that rebuilt my engine. According to the owner, hardened valve (exhaust) seats were installed. He said I could get gas anywhere -- even though the higher octane doesn't cost me more -- and said just to be sure to change the oil after the first 500 miles.
He also said hardened or not, no additive would have been needed.

hey Clutch, why dont you do your heads yourself and save you some money???? Just drill out the out bolts, and go out and rent a tap and die. or even buy a small set. I did the heads on my 67 F-100. It wasn't too hard. It was actually alittle fun, and i felt great when it was all finished. Oh and Pammie. That guy is wrong. if you dont have hardened seats, you should use a lead additive, or it'll tear up your seats, and then you will start losing compression, smoking, etc.

EDIT: Any tips on how to tell if my seats are hardened? What type of additive should i use (when i get her running again)?
