I would also stick with non-ethanol gasoline. The ethanol can sometimes affect the rubber diaphragm in the fuel pump causing premature failure. Your car probably has a B-18 or B-20 engine, and probably a pair of side-draft S.U. Carburetors...they really arent affected by gasohol...

You might also watch out for detergent oil. That can loosen sludge that is already stuck in place in the engine allowing it to float in the oil and land somewhere it shouldn't.
