Model A Cooling System Volume

[AlfinVA]

For purposes of antifreeze addition, what is the total cooling system volume (combined volume of the radiator and engine water spaces) in a Model A? thanks.

i am not sure of the exact but it is approx 3 gal

As Mitch said, the total is about 3 gallons, but I use 2 1/2 gallons to allow expansion room in the top tank, otherwise the excess will go out the overflow pipe and on the ground. I use 1 1/2 gallons of antifreeze and 1 gallon of water. This gives me a safety margine if I have to later add a little water.

Alfin,
MANY parts catalogs have charts of specs, capacities, etc & some GREAT exploded views of components! When you get a NEW catalog, examine ALL the pages, you'll be SURPRISED at what you discover!

Bill, Thanks for your tip on the vendor catalogs. I know there atr other information sources too. I post even simple question, as I did here, because of the extra advice sand information I get like your comment and Tom Wesenberg's. This site is a place to learn much if you only ask.
