I've been reviewing some posts on anti-freeze and am a little confused.
This is a '68'vert, 383, no heater yet, (stock size) aluminum radiator.
..So far, (from TC search) it looks like:
The list above was gathered from a few searches on TC, (coolant/radiator/anti-freeze).
I did see views on both sides, but tried to list the common consensus.
I listed each item above as a ?question? to get a correction, comfirmation or any additional views.
..am I missing anything? :yes: :noway:

- Dex-cool is bad?
- Zerex or green Prestone is good?
- Open cooling system can hurt Aluminum radiator and heads?
- 50/50 is pre-mixed, doesn't need water, but is (2x$) expensive?
- Regular Prestone needs to be mixed with water? (straight Glycol will freeze?)
- sounds like tap water is bad, but I'm not sure if I need distilled or de-ionized?
- 180* thermostat? (it's supposed to snow tomorrow)
- Standard cooling system (with heater) is 3.7 gal?
