Re: Improve mileage 350 with Quadrajet

too much water and it gets slushy in the rad,and driving, it would freeze up worse trying to thin out, to go threw the rad,would blow the hose hopefully first
not sure how cold it is there but in the morning or when it hasn't been driven take off the cap and see if it's fluid or slushy
of course one day it's -5 it's ok but
then may drop to like -25 or-30 and thats gona be a problem
but in the pics in a couple of drops on the belt it looks like bits of rust,sludge?
it looks to have material in the drops
it should be clear drops like water but green or red
but it could have been rust bits on your fingers working on it
i also thought the red was for newer stuff
and can't be mixed
then the bucket and the look inside intake same non clear fluid worries me
