Ford F1 radiator capacity.

I found the water capacity and didn't have to add a water recovery or adjust the tire pressure or the timing. First off I had to bite the bullet and get a clogged radiator recorded. Then I removed the thermostat s and drilled a 1/8" hole in the rim to let the AIR out of the engine when the water was installed. Then I filled with 50/50 antifreeze to fill to the bottom of the heater core and it took 20 quarts with out the heater. So the answer my friends is 20 quarts without filter .Bill

20 qts is all I've ever been able to get in mine, even with a dry heater core.
