Octane booster is for high performance engines when you have no supply of high octane fuel available. It used to be very popular before we got 98 octane (BP and Mobil), I used to use it on my turbo RX-7. It's pretty expensive compared to just filling up with the correct fuel in the first place.

For the Windom, you'll never need anything more than 96 octane, and that's available everywhere (no harm in running 98 though, but no benifit either). The only thing I suggest you add to the fuel is some injector cleaner every 20,000Km's.

I too have the original radio, I have bought a band extender from Dick Smith's but haven't installed it yet... not sure how easy it is to get behind the radio to install it (perhaps someone can give us some instructions on how to do it), but they just pug in between the aerial wire and the radio and you have to splice a 12v supply wire to it too.

I also have a cassette adaptor so I can play my mp3 player through the stereo (much better than fiddling around with CD's). It's a pretty good sounding stereo, so I think I'll keep it (plus it looks stock).
