Coolant
Simple question:
I am purchasing all the components and fluids for a cam swap. How much coolant is in a 1968 Camaro radiator system? I believe it has the stock rad. that has been re-cored. Advanced Auto thinks 3 to 4 gallons. That just seemed like alot to me.
Thanks,

I'm guessing more like 2 to 3 the most.
I think the "rule of thumb" is like a gallon in the engine and a gallon to 1.5 or so in the rad.I took the restrictor plate off to give the Red Dragon a little more Juice. But keep that on the Down Low, it's not exactly street legal.

I always add 1 gallon of water and 1 gallon of coolant to start then add 50/50 mix till it is full.
Nothing says "I built this" better than tool marks and dykem blue..
