Many mentions of fillers. I tend to disagree. Those filler panels may be of no value at all for this particular car. I say this because he stated up front he has an electric fan...which is likely meaning his fan is pressed up tight against the radiator and not set back at the engine like our stocker setups are...maybe meaning he doesn't need any of the fillers at all and they may serve no purpose.
As I stated originally, really we need a photo or a better description of this cooling system to make any true judgements.
Bjorn, I agree entirely that 33/67 mixture antifreeze/water is indeed more efficient for cooling. 50/50 should also work fine, but is likely unnecessary for a collector car that will rarely be driven in below-freezing temps. But it is absolutely CRITICAL to have an adequate percentage of a/f in the mix for off season storage in cold climates.
My only point in bring that up is that so many people these days seem to think that "more is better" and just go 100% antifreeze out of pure ignorance, not realizing how critical water is for cooling purposes.
