    I have a 1956 CJ5 with the hurricane 4-134 engine. Should I be adding some type of lead additive to the unleaded fuel. I am getting conflicting guidance on this. Some say I should be because the engine was designed for lead based fuel. Others tell me the new unleaded fuel has lubricant that acts the same as lead. Any thoughts? Thanks guys!
