That looks to be correct. That's a very useful list. That engine spec is the highest available, also in the 123GT and the 1800 models. High compression and C camshaft. The high CR means that you really need to use the highest octane gas you can find. Even then it will be lower than what was available at the time, which was 100/101 here in Europe. Pinking/pinging can be a problem unless you retard the ignition by a couple of degrees or so. Retard as little as possible or you will start to feel the reduction in power if you use the whole rev range.
