OK, this is what I have been using with great success for many years 
in many cars. After i drain and flush the cars, I put  in a mixture 
of:

        One  pint No-Roison
        One Bottle Redline Water Wetter
        Minimum Prestone  to  protect from  freezing (in CA  one Quart)
        Raise the  car so  the top  of the radiator is  above the engine head
        (ala Kas Kastner's book)
        Fill  with  "filtered  water"  NOT distilled water
        Check  the No-Roison  website they have a very good argument 
on not using
        distilled  water.

I  have never, repeat never had any rust, boil  over, freeze up or 
anything else using this system  ... I am  pretty sure  Fred Thomas 
will  back  me  up on the No-Roison, and Herman  van  den Akker  on 
the  use of the "formula".

But ... to each his own this is just my 60 years of experience 
blabbing  ... ;-)
