Fuel additive
Thought about adding some fuel additive to my 76. Any suggestions?

I just run non-ethanol fuel in my 75.

Do not add anything but gas and high test would be an advantage. The reason the additives might affect your fuel sock filter in tank.

Fuel is fuel at the end of the day. As long as it’s the proper octane rating your engine needs there’s not much improvement to be made on it unless you want to get into BTU contents and nitro methane, but I don’t think that’s what you’re after.
If you’re looking into making the engine run better I would check your ignition timing and fuel curve.
