Old cars used to have lead added into the fuels as a cushion for the valve seats as the valve seats weren't hard enough to withstand the pounding. Without lead, the valve seats would become so hot knocking would occur.
Then in the early 80's lead was found to be cancer causing element. They banned it in all products from cups to wall paint and yes petrol.
All engines before that time had to have their valve seats changed to withstand unleaded petrol.
So when you use unleaded petrol on a leaded cylinder head then you have to by an additive to mix by the tank. Otherwise you can send it to certain companies that change valve seats. People who deal with classic cars should have contacts for these companies.
