If the coolant is so old you can't remember what type it is (or it hasn't been changed since you bought the car)then the the BEST (and some would say ONLY) thing to do is FLUSH and Refill the system using a good Name brand Coolant 50/50 mix with distilled water I have always used Prestone or Peak in All my cars.

dont know if you want to go 50/50 in an FD...id say at least 60/40

i usually go 75%water 25%antifreeze. so far its done a good job keeping the temps down.
