You run the Evan's WC at zero pressure. And it works quite well.
Aussiecowboy I know some guys that run Evan's WC and they swear by the stuff. I plan to switch my vehicles over to it in the near future. If you do decide to run it, make sure to get all the coolant/water out of your vehicles before you add fill it.

Do your Pontiacs have a water distribution tube? The later straight 8's had a tube running from the front of the engine to the rear. The tube had holes to make sure the rear cylinders received a flow of water. Many time the tube would rot in to and the engines would run hot and it was due to the rear cyl not receiving any water flow. Many times these engine were rebuilt and the modern builder had no idea about the tube and so the heating continued after a rebuild and engine block cleaning. Just a thought.
Good luck driving your cars.

The one in the background? It's not actually a Jeep but a 1955 Austin Champ. It was Britians answer to the ****** Jeep, amazing little thing, 4 wheel drive, 4 wheel independent double wishbone suspension, 5 forward speeds, 5 reverse speeds, fully waterproof Rolls Royce engine. It has a flip up snorkel on the font fender, once in the up position it will drive underwater, wading depth of 5 feet. It is not as agile off road as a Jeep but is far far far more comfortable. It cost 7 times as much a Land Rover to build which is why they didn't make many of them, it is hugely complicated and difficult to maintain. I'll get some photos up later when I get to my computer.

Well this is very cool. I want one. Of course I say that for lots of these cool old vehicles.
Well to bring this back on topic. Wading like this can help keep your Pontiac engines cool.

Yeah but the flip up snorkel would ruin the lines of the Pontiacs!
The Champ never fails to put a big fat smile on my face. I live right on the edge of a big state forest, during the warmer months I'll take a beer or two and just go for a drive through the bush for an hour, magic.

This is my sister-in-law's collection of video snippets from our rally a couple of years back. I'm going up to WV in October for yet another rally. My brother's truck is the red one with black wooden rail bed. It was a brush fire truck for the town on Wendellville, so, it is dubbed "Wendell." This was a road rally, so, no terrifying slopes (it is West Virginia!), brutal forest floor or hood-deep mud. That's typically every other year. More info at P O W E R *W A G O N * Page
