[Healeys] 3 cups of water

[Harold Manifold]

Ira,
 
A good tip is to drill a 1/16" hole in the thermostat. This allows any trapped air to work its way out of the cooling system and doesn't adversely affect the thermostats job. Once all of the air is gone then allow enough room in the radiator for expansion of the water as it heats unless you have a recovery tank.

Just drive 45 miles. Last 20 in stop and go crawl. Temp gauge went to 210, then back down to 190 when frewway speeds were achieved last 5 miles. No liquid from overflow on my garage floor. So I must have burped all the air out of the system. Shouk3d run cooler after I reinstall the air deflector. Will check fluid level after it cools down. Last day of work as a full time teacher. Staff git me a couple of Healey modles and a $100 moss motors gift certificate 
.Thanks all. Happy motoring.

I do live in Oregon, so collecting rain water is doable :)

AH Owners manual and repair manuals call for filling the radiator to ½ inch of the bottom of the fill tube.  

I have always used 1 inch below over the last 54 years with moderate success. 

By the way the manuals say to use rain water whenever possible. 😊

Have a fun day.

Drove my car about 25 miles to work today. never got to 190 * ran great. Parked the car and about three cups of coolant came out the overflow. Am I hyper focused or is this normal. I no longer remember if this is normal or not? I bought a really nice chromed overflow tank. Should I install it?
