Car Forum / Antique and Collectibles / Studebaker / August 200662 Lark Daytona 6 cyl.
What is the total coolant capasity in a 170 CI 6 cyl Lark. In the radiator, the block, the hoses, and heater core. I do not need all of this broken up, I just need to preplan for a flush and refill. Also when re-installing the lower water drain plug on the back of the block, do you use pipe thread, plummers putty, black pipe sealant or nothing at all? Please advise. Thank you ! If it is threaded I would use teflon tape. It will make a good seal and will make taking it out 20 years from now a lot easier. Henry > What is the total coolant capasity in a 170 CI 6 cyl Lark.

You can now buy antifreeze already mixed at 50/50 by the gallon...buy at least three, then you'll be sure to have enough...mabe some extra. Buy a brass plug ,1/8" pipe thread,(it won't rust) use the teflon pipe tape...works great..not messy. It will be easy to remove next time you service your cooling system. Hope this helps. Dan Miller I absolutely love the marketing genius behind 50/50 anti freeze. Regular anti freeze $7.77 gallon 50/50 anti freeze $5.99 gallon Amazing......................

What about the price of water in windshield washer fluid (or lite beer, if you can stand to think of such a thing?) Karl > $2.10 per gal. for water?

On the rear drain plug you can use the newer teflon pipe sealant paste. Depending upon how long the plug has been in the block, you may want to replace it. Look for a brass hex head plug if you can find one in that size. Paul V > What is the total coolant capasity in a 170 CI 6 cyl Lark. In the > radiator, the block, the hoses, and heater core.
