Re: Anti Freeze

Zerex G-05 is definitely the one you want to use.

Hi Bill I would use only water for the run in to test for leaks, if everything OK then drain and refill. Phil 8063

Re: Anti Freeze

I'm with Phil, water is easier to clean up if a leak is found.

Re: Anti Freeze

Thanks for the reply.Car has been setting for 29 years and stated restoration 2 years ago. Just completing the restro.I have never
had the car started. So tomorrow is the day and sure hope she
starts up. I like the idea of just using water and then drain after
no leaks.
Thanks

Re: Anti Freeze

Hi Bill, Hope you didn't make the mistake I did on my 63 the 1st time it was restored back in 1979 or so. The radiator didn't leak a drop. But at that time I didn't know you were supposed to keep antifreeze, etc in the rad when it was off the car. so about 3 yrs later when the radiator was installed it leaked like Niagara Falls. John
