[Healeys] 3 cups of water

[Bob Spidell]

My BJ8 always barfs out any excess coolant.  2-3 inches below the bottom 
of the filler neck is what it likes; maybe a quart from full.  Don't 
think the extra quart makes a huge difference in cooling ability.

Leave the level where it's at and take another drive; if nothing comes 
out you're at 'nominal.'
