I also researched and found a lot of reccimendations to use the following:
“50/50 mix of water/antifreeze,....again I'll recommend the Zerex G-05 brand antifreeze (just 1 gal. the rest water, should be close to 50/50) with 8-10 oz. of Redline Water Wetter added,(Autozone).”

Would that be the best to use? If so then for the water mix would it be regular water or would it have to be distilled?


I would only run 25% antifreeze. You live in So Cal LA area and it never comes close to freezeing water in an engine. Antifreeze does not remove heat as good as water.

Also did you get a high density core put in the radiator. Radiator Works on Parthenia near Reseda does my radiators.
