Reply to "Fluidine radiator"

When I redid things on my 1974 with 18000 miles on it I had the stock radiator recored. I am still using the original fans. The thermostat is a Robert Shaw and I am using a Flowkooler water pump. The car has about 1 1/2 gallons of antifreeze and two bottles of Redline Water Wetter in it. It will idle for 1/2 hour and the temperature guage stays at 190.
Use the least amount of antifreeze you can get away with. It has about 1/2 the heat transfer capability of water and will make your car run hotter than straight water (directly from an antifreeze company technical support person). Some is needed in a Pantera so the water in the heater core does not freeze when the A/C is run. Water Wetter is supposed to make the car run cooler.
I know the above works for my car, with a stock engine. It may not work for another car, especially with a built engine or a block that has a lot of rust and corrosion buildup in it.
