most avgas, (80 or 100 LL) is or was when i used to be around it was low lead. lead, which was the lubrication of the fuel. i ran it in a 70 nova while working at a f.b.o in the 70's.it eventually burnt the valves out of it. it might be ok using a mixture of gas though. you use to be able to purchase lead additives. sure runs good when its a straight 100LL though.

p.s. i believe in 86 all cars were built to run on non leaded fuels. so running avgas with lead now with the new design seats and valves, etc, would probably be detrimental. just my 2 cents
