Tony I use flashlube adative in the blitz it comes in a measure bottle and is easier than guesing on a quantity of diesel that is safe.

Acondenser that is not working will make the points get so hot that they can actually melt. I know this from experiance

Hi Tony - I told you to stay 6v, as it wasn't broke, why try to fix it. Anyway you know how pedantic I am with restorations. And echoing Robert's words, and I think I mentioned it to you, Flashlube is the way to go.

I have owned my jeep since 1980 and when unleaded fuel came in I smiled when everyone panicked and wanted hardened valve inserts.The jeep engine was developed well before lead was added to petron universally. You may harden the valve seats but that does nothing regards upper cylinder lubrication or valve stem lubrication, I suspect that you may have a timing issue as the dissy.needs to be altered to time it up for unleaded fuel. On the subject of adding diesel, last year I went around garages that had sifoned petrol that people had put itno their diesel cars, I ran my jeep all season on this and my theory is this, some diesel reached the valve stems as well as the upper cylinder bores, also some sat on top of the pistons and formed a better compression. The only thing to watch is that some may find its way into the sump and dilute your oil, I havnt put this very well but it all worked for me, yours, John.

Hi John

What I like about our forum is the various options that can be applied and what works for some and that others had not heard of or done. This brings me to another sublect I have been wondering about. When I restored my Jeep I was told not to use the modern Anti Freeze Green Coolant in my old Jeep motor. I have been using rain water in my radiator. However I have been following a lot of different MLU forums and I have seen some photographs showing that the modern Green Anti Freeze Coolant is used in old engines by some MLU members. The question is do I stick with rain water or can I use the Green stuff that is used in modern engines.

Cheers

NO. use only the old blue anti freeze, there is a whole page of info somewhere on the internet,Have just googled anti freeze in old engines and found all the info that you will need to make up your mind, John.
