[Spridgets] Waterless Engine Coolant

[Michael MacLean]

When I had the Judson supercharger on my Bugeye I tried Evans coolant.  I had
made the mistake of trying the supercharger on an engine that was lsightly too
high of a compression ratio and instead of boost I got a lot of heat and
noise.  I tried the Evans coolant that worked but there were two things I
never got used to.  One was the high temps that were OK with the coolant and
then the smell of the stuff.  I swear it smelled like pancake syrup when it
was heated up.  Even after I removed the supercharger. the smell persisted for
a year or two, until I out in the 1275. And David, I'm only over here in San
Bernardino if you ever need any help with anything.
