1975 300 coolant

Doing my first coolant flush, can’t seem to find any specs on how much coolant to fill it back up. 1975 4.9

It should take 3ish gallons total, but that may vary depending on your radiator. I usually fill the radiator, start the truck, and keep adding coolant when the level goes down. Once it seems to have gotten most of the air out, I'll put the radiator cap on but not tighten it and then go for a short drive and check it again.

Should be around 4 gallons if you’re pulling the block drains. Exact capacity doesn’t matter though. Just fill it until the coolant level is about an inch below the filler neck with the engine warm and the thermostat open. If you aren’t using 50/50 pre-mix then make sure to use distilled water, NOT tap water to dilute the anti-freeze.
