Joe this is great information. You might want to pass it on to the Spridget
list.

I thought some might be interested in this reply I got from Redline=20

----------------
Water is preferable in the cooling system to anti-freeze. Water transfers
heat over two times better than anti-freeze and will reduce the cylinder
head temperatures one degree for every percent of anti-freeze removed. The
WaterWetter can be used with anti-freeze, but will work best with a reduced
concentration.
We recommend in a vehicle with air conditioning, that doesn't see extreme
freezing temperatures, a 15% anti-freeze mixture. In a vehicle, such as
yours that doesn't have AC, and probably doesn't see freezing conditions, I
would recommend just WaterWetter and distilled water, this will offer the
best temperature reduction benefits.
The increased boil over protection in a 15 pound pressurized system would
increase from 250=B0F to 265=B0F with 50% anti-freeze, so generally the
increased boil over protection is not necessary.
The WaterWetter contains water pump seal lubrication as well as the rust
and corrosion protection needed.
Thank you for your interest in Red Line Oil.
