I have been looking for months and months at a 63 plymouth down in FL and its got a real hot engine. The problem is, I have no access to 110 fuel anywhere near me, just 93 pump gas, which will not work in this car, it needs a little 110 to wake it up.
I am told that aviation gas is 114 octane and will work in car engines, is that true? Need some help here.

Many, many years ago, I had access to Aviation Gas. It has octane but it has a lot of alcohol and other stuff used as deicers. I have no idea what the present day blend is made of. You can still buy
lead substitute and octane boosters at some parts houses. If there are any circle tracks in your area, you can find some race gas...Ask around. There are a couple of distributors close by I use.

I think that Av. gas is 104. Speed shops sell 110 but man it isn't cheap. It will be expensive to drive that car around.

I was thinking of mixing the aviation gas with pump 93, to raise the octane a little, not to run straight av gas.
I have no access to 110 pump gas in this area.
I have heard that the gasoline additives at the auto stores doesn't do anything to raise octane.

Put a thicker head gasket on it and run it.

This may sound sacriigious.... you could convert the carb to E-85...works well in high compession motors... only draw back it does not smell as good as high octane.

If driving is limited -- and option might be to have VP of Sunoco deliver 110 octane in 55gal drums. I buy 5 drums of 112 a year
