Which compression ratio does my 389 have?

Question:
I have a 66 389 with a engine code (YC). I have found that this puts out 290 HP. I am asking this cause I have the orginal owners guide that states (fuel requirements)
2 Bdl, 389 Cu. In. 8.6:1 Regular
2 Bdl, 389 Cu. In. 10.5:1 Premium
So I know theres two different ratios and I cant find any info on which one i have. Can anybody help me??

with the older engine you would be wise to use premium in it anyway and add some lead replacer as well unless you are going to change the valve seats
