yesterday was three hours of driving in the car and i struggled to hit 170
degrees despite a one hour stretch at 75-90mph on the interstate. Weathers
was hot, 90 degrees and and 85 humidity.
what a difference.  even oil temp guage rarely hit 200 degrees and that was
after the highway behind 10 cars in a long drive through line.

Coolant formula was 1 gallon of concentrated Peak antifreeze,  1 bottle of
water wetter and 2.25 gallons of distilled water, about a 30/70 mixture.

i should done the radiator removal and cleaning years ago, the car performs
better than ever.
