I should have posted this with my last post. Anyone have any idea what the capacity (gallons, quarts, pints?) is for a 4-core US radiator and small block chevy?

the tech guys @ US Radiator said fill it up till it overflows - drain it and measure it - I'm still laughing.

If someone has some better metrics, I'd appreciate it.

The old owners manual (for the big block) on the 67 coupe said 22 quarts for block and radiator; 23 with AC. Sounds like about 6 gallons to me; 3 green / 3 distilled.

Mike. I just filled mine with 17 liters, which would be 4.5 gallons. Small block, A/C, 3-core radiator.
