Coolant for L-head 201 cu. in. engine

Can anyone tell me if regular Prestone is appropriate for this engine? The Plymouth service manual (1941) lists its MoPar antifreeze as being 190 proof ethyl alcohol, which prestone is not. Any thoughts?

The regular green antifreeze will be fine. It's better than what was available in 41

190 proof ethyl alcohol, sounds more like Moon Shine
