successful non-water coolant switch over

[east314]

To anyone who might care and as an FYI, I had my 81 (which always was close to overheating while sitting in traffic as it is my daily driver in the Summer) switched over to a non-water based coolant this past off-season (no laughing I learned about the idea on Wheeler Dealers). I am pleased to report that (so far) the new coolant has worked like a champ and I have not yet been close to overheating when idling in traffic.

interesting .... what is the consistency of that product ... does it take longer for the engine to get to operating temp .... I thought water dissipated heat better than anything .... what is the name of the product you used .... does it work for not freezing up in the winter...

curious stuff .... kids today and their new fangled whatchamacallits
