The guy said he ran regular unleaded fuel in it. I put 4 gallons of premium in it on an almost empty tank to make it the ride home.

I can't do much Italian work on it because I can't drive the car past 45MPH or the front end starts to shimmy uncontrollably. I had a hard time just driving it home on the back roads at 35-40MPH. I could rev the engine in neutral but that may not be good for it.

I suppose additives can't hurt. Maybe I can clean the spark plugs. Can I get away with cheapie copper tips or do they need Iridium if I change them out? It does miss at cold idle and I can feel the engine shake. It gets better the warmer it gets.
