Cooling System
I looked up the capacity of the cooling system in my 1950 V8 F1 pickup in the Shop Manuel and it said 23 quarts. I put in 2 gals of antifreeze and 1 1/2 gals of distilled water and that brought the fluid level up to the radiator cap. I thought there must be one heck of an air bubble in the system , so I started the engine to circulate the fluid. Naturally, when the system heated up the fluid expanded and ran out the overflow. When the system cooled down, the level was at the fins where it belongs.
My question is, is the system 23 quarts or is that a misprint that should read 13 quarts? |
