The Yellow Pinto

...car runs great. i flushed the radiator, unbolted and cleaned up the coolant resivoir, used about a 70 distilled water and 30 percent coolant blend, added a bottle of purple ice coolant additive, and installed the 180 degree thermostat with a new gasket. ran the car hard, it is about 90 degrees where i am at...and the temps never went above 2/5 of the way up the temp gauge. i like it, and would recommend doing the entire process to anyone who lives in high heat areas like im at.
