C6 questions

Just dropped a 428 in the highboy. Couldn't afford to redo the C6 but it seems in good shape. Had to hold off on the 445 My 390 pooped out and its my daily driver so I had to do something fast.

Anyway, in doing so I took the radiator and cooler out and lost a good amount of fluid... I think the c6 holds 13 quarts. Is that correct? I am running the fluid through the radiator then through the aftermarket cooler and back into the radiator.

Also! Anyone install a temp gauge in their c6? How did you do it? (where did you put the probe)

bout round that for fluid.

Most times I'd install a drain plug in the pan and put a temp gauge there.
