In my experience, Naval Jelly tends to dissolve or convert existing rust, but it doesn't do a very good job at preventing future rust. I have no experience with BLO, so can't compare.
Just purchased this gem in eastern Oregon. (1 Viewer)

TBI is amazing. Easy start and goes, no choke, smooth sailing...
but will it pass smog with the new fuel injection?

Smog testing not required in most parts of Oregon, and there is no visual test in the places that do require it. (Or so I am told, I live outside the testing counties.) So you should easily be able to make it clean enough to pass a tailpipe sniff.

Copied from post 76 of this thread...
It was a three stage polish. And yes, I washed it, then clayed it, then washed it, but didn't do the soaking step. Used mequiars 105, then 85, then 205 polishes. Applied with a dual action buffer, with three different levels of pads. Course, Medium, and Fine. (7 inch foam pads)
It was about a 10 hour job total. Even did the roof top. The paint really came back alive.. I was very pleased.. I will probably do another clay bar / 205 polish in the spring time to keep things looking great. ...
I did also wax it with a meguiars wax, but forget which type...
I also treated all of the rusty areas with Locktites Navel Jelly. It seems to have sealed up the rust, but now after a few months, another coat looks to be needed in the near future.

Builds - 1978 FJ40 Mustard Yellow - almost perfect thread.
I’m sitting on a plane to Oregon as I write this up. I don’t really have any plans for a build but like to at least keep something going to remind myself of things I’ve done or want to do. Last week I scooped up a 1978 FJ40 from @thecrazygreek. The rig was exactly what I was looking for and I...
