NEED HELP

Hello, i am new to this site and bought my wife ( LOL actually myself ) a 1988 Camaro, fixing it up as we speak and whant to keep it absolute original exept for the paint, red now... gonna be white.
But here is my question, what octane fuel does it like ???

Its a 305 TBI , i thought 93. Somebody told me 88 , so i don't know .
The engine is stock and absolute flawless also runs and idles perfect .
Thats why i am asking, don't know what owner put in .

Thanks and hopefully i will get more answers and maybe i can help also .
