Fuel for Singers

I just bought a 1955 Singer 4AD SM with duel carbs. Wondering what type of fuel I should be using? Non alcohol; high octane at regular gas station; put additives into fuel? Any suggestions?

The 4AD 1500 runs best on leaded regular fuel, which isn't available any more in most regions.
Regular unleaded with a lead additive and no ethanol would be the next best option. ethanol degrades the rubber components in the fuel system.
Hope that helps!

Thanks for advising regular unleaded with lead additive and something to eliminate alcohol. I tried premium unleaded but it is making the car backfire. I’ll let you know it that resolves with lead and alcohol remover.
