    Still a bit green at this hotrodding stuff so be gentle. I had the radiator flushed and fixed and I repainted it on our 29 roadster. It’s a super nice Walker radiator with a 32 grill. How much 50/50 antifreeze does it take? I’ve put in about 10 quarts. Am I overthinking it?!?? Couldn’t find capacity numbers on their site or other sites. Thanks!

  6. Get a gallon jug and start pouring and counting. Too many variables to answer.

    Thank you! Obviously I’m overthinking it.
