I was wondering what % coolant to water do you use if you live in a warm/hot climate? Also do you use a thermostat? Thanks
What temp thermo.... 160 180....I use distilled water and hy-per lube super coolant with no antifreeze with thermostat

Thanks for all the information. When I lived in PA I did use a % to 0 degrees but now I am in Florida I will still use a 180 but use mostly distilled water. It did get to 26 overnight here a few nights so maybe I should go for a 30 degree %. This is all for the stock, iron headed original engine. For my aluminum headed engine I will go with just water and Royal Purple since I go down the track with it.
But they are rarely ever full open so it DOES make a difference.so 180 degree minimum and quite frankly once a thermostat is open it does not make any difference if it is 180 or 195 or 205 they all open the same
Sorry, but that is absolutely incorrect. The thermostat is exactly what it is, it regulates the temperature of the coolant. Which resultantly regulates the amount of heat absorption. Without going into the technicalities of the thermodynamics, Whether you have a 160, 180, or 195 stat ( or, no stat at all) will indeed make a difference.so 180 degree minimum and quite frankly once a thermostat is open it does not make any difference if it is 180 or 195 or 205 they all open the same
