Was talking w/ an old timer Ford guy who has built many an *** kickin' engine the other day & he told me I should quit wasting money on lead additive for my Y-Block and run chainsaw oil instead. Have any of you ever heard of such a thing?
Was he talking about the 2 Stroke oil you add to the gas, or the bar oil used to lubricate the bar and the chain? Either way, it's going to cause smoke in the exhaust. Never heard of using either as some kind of lead subs***ute.

He claimed that it wouldn't make the motor smoke, but I have trouble believing that as well. It would provide a lubricating quality I suppose.
Diesel fuel added at about a quart a tank will do the same thing. It has the lead you need. That's why they want cad converters on diesels. They won't stop until they get us all off the road. Oh! say can you see""" only Hondas there will be.... Look hard into the night, not an old car in sight''''' ( this is just a view from the penthouses ) Ya think they care about clean air? Not... Bucks, Baby, Bucks.
