Re: cooling system questions, what are u guys using

Your Poly engine bay looks spectacular Rich! I really like the Edelbrock finned/polished air cleaner top with your finned aluminum valve covers.

Sounds like your have to live in Hawaii to go without antifreeze. In the past I used Purple Ice, a Milodon 180 deg flow thru t-stat, a Flow Kool water pump and an aluminum radiator. I also plugged the trans cooler in the radiator and put in a separate B&M unit. I used 50/50 antifreeze and a can of water pump lubricant. The cap is a 16psi unit and there is an overflow system.

I still would run hot with my 264 cam and dual quads.
When I put in the 284 cam and ported heads it ran so cool that I put back in a 195 t-stat and did away with the purple ice. It still is hard to get it to 180deg with the new set up of 264 cam, poly SS-X intake and basically stock heads. It is dialed in!

I don't know what pressure me cap is but I exclusively use Water Wetter with distilled water and a 180 degree thermostat. I also include an additive of water pump lubricant and something else I don't remember. With Water Wetter you don't use coolant. Works great.

I just got a nice new recored radiator back from my radiator guy. Looks awesome. I queried him on how to give it a long life so this doesn't happen for a good while.
He tossed the 16 pound cap on it and told me to find a Stant 10 pound. What are others here using for a cap??
He told me to throw away the cheap 195 thermostat and get a Stant 180 degree. What are others using for a thermostat?
As for coolant he said to use green coolant only. What are others using.
