Methanol is an alcohol, and the primary alcohol used for racing. The only other one used is ethanol, and it is rarely used but gaining popularity as E85 is becoming available. I would almost be certain methanol is what your engine is set up for.
Methanol is much cheaper than race gas, but you burn about twice as much or more. Straight methanol does reqire a top oil be added to the fuel much like a 2 cycle engine as methanol tends to wash the cylinder walls down. It does require changing the oil more frequent. The timing varies but usually wil tolerate a little more than gas. Methanol is more corrosive to fuel system components, so you have to make sure your tank and lines will handle it. It is also a good idea to flush the system with gas if it will set for a while. Methanol runs the engine much cooler, great in the summer, but hard to get the engine warm during the winter. Most engines will run 1 to 3 tenths quicker with methanol as methanol is an oxygen bearing fuel. Because you run twice as much fuel, carbs tend to be smaller to get the correct metering, but you can get Dominators to run alcohol. Any speed shop that carries fuel should have methanol, and shoould be available at drag or circle tracks. Be ready to find someone to help you with the Hilborns that are familiar with them. For an alcohol carb, I'm sure most carb companies can help, even if the carb is not exactly right alcohol is more forgiving if it is a little over rich. BLP carbs here in Orlando is a good place if you don't know anyone else. Tell them your car and engine specs and go with their recommendation, you won't find much better.
Now have I scared you enough to go back to gas?
