<VV> Re Leaded Gas

[rhino60]

Hi... Just  bought a 180 Turbo 1966 Corsa and was wondering if a lead additive should be added to the 93 octane I will probably put into the car. I live in NY if that has any bearing on the subject.
> Thanks for any advice
Or, why not use toluene as an additive?  I vaguely recall it is 120 or so octane.  Somewhere on the web is a formula for net octane vs. ratio of toluene to 93 octane fuel.
Snip
I thought lead was use in the gas to help the Valves from beating the seats out of the heads.  Also some lubricating properties, not octane.
