Incredible Tool for Engine Tuning! Colortune on the WW2 Willys jeep!

[@swagmanexplores7472]

I was so impressed when I first saw this vid I went and bought a colortune off Ebay the next day !

[@MuskratOutdoors]

That is really neat! I've never seen that before......now I want one!!

[@BilgePump]

Funny i never heard of these before. That is great and the quartz glass is holding that psi.

[@timblack6422]

Wow, very interesting and awesome!

[@benjohnson1082]

Best video ever. The sound of excitement! Slow motion burn footage.

[@Greendot319]

Thanks Ben

[@roblenzz7966]

As usual great stuff Matt! Thanks for continuing to post

[@Greendot319]

Thanks Bobby, appreciate your support

[@bentlanghoff4419]

thanks for the tip, I have now ordered one for my m38A1, you must have a big thank you for your videos I learn a lot myself

[@Greendot319]

You're welcome ;)

[@-oiiio-3993]

Very cool. Keep doing what you do!

[@GPW96226]

Great video Matt! Very interesting and giving many answers. For sure I will try to get one as well. Cheers Gert-Jan

[@Greendot319]

Thanks Gert-Jan, its a fun little toy well worth trying to look in your engine ;) My video with your carb is coming shortly, it is currently being machined ready for it's secret video! Very excited about that one! cheers!

I recently used a colourtune to help me do a basic set up to get my fuel injected engine running when I rebuilt the fuel injection system and fitted a different ECU.. They’re pretty much foolproof.

[@ra5gto]

Also non-resister plugs are usually a good performance improvement. Find your plug type without the R in it

[@RoundTopRanchWY]

I interested in that spark ⚡️

[@1djbecker]

I recall these being advertised in the mid-1980s J.C. Whitney catalogs. You didn't see them in the local parts stores, so I assumed that they didn't work as well as claimed.

[@sithinstructor]

They should sponsor you. Went to buy one and only the 14mm are out of stock everywhere.

[@Greendot319]

Ha ha

[@edstransitscott9186]

Great demonstration !

[@seeratss7441]

THANX fer the heads up!! Definitely gonna get me some of that, I'm sure it's gonna save me work on a whole lot of engines,weed wackers ta V8's, (carb tune) any engine I can put in ...but what happens ta color on bad fuel? Too high octane? Quick start? Just thought I'd ask,before I get one.. Again, THANX

[@glennchartrand5411]

Have you seen the version that looks like a regular spark plug but the insulator is clear quartz? The whole plug lights up with the glow of the flame. You cant see into the cylinder but its a lot easier to use.

[@sportglideriderdennis8971]

I noticed the 3 “head bolts” (nuts) in video frame have wrench marks (paint missing) from being torqued on. You might want to touch those up on otherwise flawless restore! P.S. Thanks for video- never knew about colortune before this! 🙂

[@-oiiio-3993]

I wouldn't call those marks a 'flaw' as they likely indicate the very thing you've described which would be a common field maintenance procedure.

[@levieilatelier3088]

Very nice and cool !! Think the next step you hurry need is a windscreen... it's s too cold!!!

[@Greendot319]

You're too right, I did a video yesterday for Patreons -6C wind chill but when you are driving who knows what the temperatures is! Very cold!!!

[@ra5gto]

You can safely use projected tip spark plugs? Wonder why they didn't originally? Not produced yet? Great performance tip right there alone

[@degerton2]

FYI, the Jeep Manual TM 9-803 lists the thread size as 14mm for the Spark Plugs on page 119.

[@harald3961]

ein Wort.......SUPER!

[@markchatman9583]

Most spark plugs are metric because they were invented in France. And champion was producing them in France ( metric ) and because of patents it was just easier to tap metric threads and use metric plugs. Henry Ford used 1/2” pipe threads because he wanted his automobiles 100% American and he had the money to buy manufacturing rights. I think that’s how the chat around the campfire, with a few beers went. Feel free to correct me, I’m old and a bit senile!

[@Evil_Timpy]

First time seeing a video under the hood of your classic. Weren’t the motors ford grey? Just asking as I’m restoring my 42 MB currently.

[@badrussian4999]

Well, an informative review, thanks! And who puts the dislike and why?

[@philipcullen4300]

Another good vid thanks,,,,, is it possible to fit an afr gauge a 12 v power is needed

[@thedolt9215]

I love your enthusiasm for this jeep! And all of its history.also, is your jeep cap original?

[@Greendot319]

This one isnt, I usually wear original stuff but if I'm going to get oily i'll put on repro!

[@MBJeep]

Hi,what`s about an window frame for your Jeep? It not have an "finish " look! Thanks for your vids;)))

[@avolikateshwara]

Great video cheers. Is 14 mm length OK for my Ford gpw as the spark plugs measure 12 mm length and 13mm in width. I cant seem to find the 13mm colortune.

[@christiansteger5454]

What colour has the Sparkplug of the 4th Cylinder after running s??? Gruss aus Tirol

[@markingram2826]

Great kit for tuning. Worked well on my M151 as well. I think my spark plugs are going to last much longer. Has anyone used this to watch combustion while adjusting the plug gap?

[@msira3670]

What Autolite spark Plug are you using ?

[@Kt1cckw]

I realy need one them to tune my engine

[@General_Eisenhower1945]

This will be awesome to see. I've always been curious, also do you use any sealer between the carb and manifold

[@Greendot319]

It is awesome! No sealer between carb and manifold only original asbestos carb gaskets, they work best, never had a problem

[@General_Eisenhower1945]

@@Greendot319 I got a repro gasket which I doubt has asbestos in it, but that should be fine I'd assume, with just the gasket?

Does it have copper rivets Paul?

HEY GREENDOT, YOUR VIDEOS ARE GOOD. BUT YOU USE FAR TOO MANY WORDS. JUST GET TO THE POINT. YOU TALK TOO MUCH. JUST SAY IT WITH LESS TALKING. INFACT YOU ARE BABBLING. JUST SAY IT WITH AS FEW WORDS AS POSSIBLE.
