If you really want to run jet fuel, you'll need to re-jet the carburetor. Unfortunately, modern jet fuel is designed to not work very well in carburetors (since a carburetor is an atomizer which makes the fuel more liable to burn thus reducing fire risk). My grandfather ran his truck on jet fuel since he could steal it and it completely gas-washed his cylinders (breaking every piston ring). Or if you mean "jet fuel" as in really high test gas, you don't really need any mods to your engine. Jet fuel is somewhere in between kerosene and diesel and doesn't make much power in an auto engine.

Sure you dont mean Avgas (High octane/high compression) instead of jet fuel (Kerosene). Seen as mall block chevy that dieseled itself to death when accidently run on Jet fuel

Yea, run Avgas or since it's a Old Camaro, run leaded gas through it, some places still sell it.

While you're in there, go to a metallic head gasket. The high compression could fry your old head gasket. And stiffer valve springs.
