OK! ONE GLUG I got it.

I intend to use 1.63812 glugs less half a dram.

All the Best,

Hope you don't get excessiveglugitis. It slips up on you.

Hey Guys,

So it was nice here today so I got to drive the car all day today. It really runs nice now. But I'm still getting a pop now and then. I'm thinking the car is running so cool that the carb is not getting hot enough. Also have not put the hood back on yet, a friend is coming over to help later tonight.

One other thing that I noticed is the fells like you’re pushing it through the higher speeds. It is like I need to advance the timing some more.

Bruce

Glad that you got it all figured out. That's cool!

Hi-Is ATF in the gas harmful to Cat. Converter, in-tank fuel pump,or fuel injectors in any way?
Thanks

I would not add anything to the gas of a car with a cat. or F.I. unless its says on the container it is safe for that use.
I would not even add ATF to the gas in an old car because it has contents that are not designed to be burnt in a combustion chamber....not to say it will harm anything though. I would add 2 cycle engine oil, the type that is mixed with the gas. It has more body so less is required.
ATF is better than nothing but not the best in my mind.

Hey Gene,

What do you think about MMO?

Bruce

At one time I was all for adding MMO to the gas. Then I read what made up MMO. Its highly refined oil and solvents. This led me to believe the solvents would have a very low burn temperature and would provide little or no lubrication to items in or near the combustion chamber. This would make it be of little use when added to the gas.Today I do use MMO to pour through the carburetor to prepare for winter storage, but I wait until the engine cools down before I use it. Its also good when used in that manner to "cure" sticking valves. Being a solvent It can also be addd to motor oil to help disolve
undisreable" things.
You can also add a non-detergent motor oil to the gas for upper cylinder lubrication A quart to 10 gallons was suggested by Chevrolet in a 1929 Service News for the breaking in of a freshly overhauled engine. That sounds like a pretty strong amount. Sure it would produce a lot of exhaust smoke. For winter storage I usually add aboyt 4 Oz of 2 cycle oil to a 1/4 tank of gas. Thats about all the gas I keep in the tank during storage.

The lubricant whether MMO, ATF, 2 cycle oil or other lubricant added to the gas forms a molecular mist that coats everything between the inside of the carburetor to the combustion chamber. Once in the cylinder is burn along with the gas/air. It is this oil coating that protects the moving parts (particularly the valve stems) from oxidized gas deposits. It is the gas deposits the fill the gaps between the valve stems and valve guides and eventually stick the valves.

Yes there are additives to nearly all lubricants that are not the best to be added to combustion chambers as they form ash on combustion. However the amount of these additives that would be carried into the combustion chamber is so small that they would have virtually no negative impact. Yes it is more of the additives than typically bypass the rings in modern engines (with crankcase oil) but below the amount that an engine that "burns" at a quart of oil in 1000 miles.

Just would like opinions as to adding MMO or ATF to the engine oil instead of the gas tank.
Thanks

I would say GAS-Yes
Oil- ? probably NO

And I should have mentioned that my question applies to a fuel injected car(injectors,in tank fuel pump)
Maybe makes no difference?
Thanks

I don't use MMo in the crankcase of either, I do use MMO and also Seafoam in the GAS of either FI or CARB cars or trucks, outboards, lawn mowers. i use Seafoam instead of Stabil in gas engines also with the new gasoline.

Hello.
Had a similar problem until the 6wolt coil was changed.
Simple, mabe too simple.
