Did they have to track down leaded gas? Did they just use unleaded? Did they suffer engine knock?
We didn’t “switch” to unleaded gas in the 1970s. We added unleaded, required gas stations to offer it, and vehicle manufacturers were prohibited from making new cars that required it.
Leaded gas was still being offered at some stations well into the 1990s.

Gas stations dispensed both, like current gas and diesel.
You could also buy lead additives, more for an emergency situation than a permit solution.
