Default cooling system capacity
My owners manual and shop manual for my '65 305E show a cooling system capacity of 34 quarts. That's over 8 gallons and I can only get about 5-6 gallons in my truck. I ran it for about 10 minutes with the cap off and didn't get much more room for coolant. Could I still have air in my system? Do others get the full 34 quarts of coolant in their engines?
