Aluminum head or radiator & use of sacrificial Zinc Anode
 

Good morning, I am interested in learning who out there is using a sacrificial zinc anode. With aluminum heads that I am about to install, I read it's very good to use the zinc anode. So, who is using one and where/how did you install it? Thanks!

I have a sacrificial anode in my '51. However, it is magnesium, not zinc, for reasons that should become obvious.

See this thread (and this earlier one : https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showthread.php?t=301796) for the details : https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showthread.php?t=330092.

Where is your anode installed?

Magnesium seems to be the best over zinc from the article :) and there it was attached to the radiator cap. Sounds like a good plan & Thanks! :)
