How much fluid does the stock radiator hold?

[rflud]

I want to get as close to 50/50 - antifreeze to water - as possible.

Which model?Chiltons shows from 10 quarts to 17.Modified engine just drain and measure.Most V-8s show 16 quarts capacity.

I couldn't find it in the Ford Manual but Chiltons says 73 302 holds 16 qts.

If your system is drained pour half the jug into a container mix that at 50/50. Then fill the antifreeze jug back up with water.....50/50. I always keep an extra jug so when I get antifreeze I mix it 50/50 right off the bat so no one puts 100% in anything.

Pour a gallon of antifreeze in, then fill the rest with water. You don't need 50/50 till November.

Or just go buy the stuff that's already mixed 50/50. It's comparably priced. I just got some Peak at Checker last week, $2.99 a gallon plus a mail-in rebate.
