Now that the new ones on, it’s sooooooo much easier to start the car and it can easily accelerate to 65-75mph and cruise there easily. No more weird sputtering out or anything. Because the old one was so bad it couldn’t even seal, let alone pump gas and the new one is brand new rubber and pumps efficiently. Nice.
Zinc is fine… its the lead m8… gonna be honest there are ways to make the car run fine without the lead and its well documented… dont risk your health handling that stuff
Ahh we replied at the same time… Well if its a lead substitute without any actual lead… just look up the cas numbers of the ingredients… find something with similar but cheaper… its basic chemistry… I hope you dont pay out the ass like they do at some auto parts stores here for that stuff haha … its a great looking car…
It’s like $4-8 of additive for each 20 gallons of gas so basically just add $4-8 to whatever gas costs per fill up lol. Not bad. And the zinc is only $10 and it’s whenever you change the oil which for this car is 3000 miles… Ish.
If I have enough money later on, I’ll rebuild the engine so it can take normal gas and synthetic oil that already has the zinc in it but for now this will do more than fine.
ahhh thats not bad then … yeah lots of places way over charge … like 20 bucks range for stuff… just didnt make much sense
Marvel mystery oil for the gas was 14 bucks a gallon and it did the job fine vs not having lead… lightweight high film strength synthetic oil distillates is basically what is amongst other things… lubricates even at high temps which is nice
DONT put it in a modern car thats fuel injected LOL
