Cooling system.
I cant find my book. What is the capacity of the cooling system of a 1950 Ford?
Is there a difference between the 6 cylinder and V-8? Thanks in advance.

Re: Motor City Flathead question
Mark built mine also many years ago. It also has a Potvin cam. My cam was stamped 415 but I could never find any details about it such as lift, duration etc. Any help would be appreciated.
