Good advice about using Stabil to keep you gasoline from going bad after sitting a long time.

The newly formulated gasolines with ethanol will vapor lock easier than the old formulations. I use a 5% diesel fuel mixture with pump gasoline to keep vapor lock away. I have not noticed any odor, smoking, or running problems using the diesel.

I did install an electric fuel pump on one of my Packards, but it is probably going to be one of those unnecessary improvements.

I don't know about lead additives, but suspect you will not need them. I don't use anything besides Stabil and diesel in my gas.
