The Ford Barn - View Single Post - not running outside car/ winter protection

d. · 12-06-2017, 06:39 PM

I have a Model A I must store outside this winter in the Raleigh, NC area, so low temps could dip into teens on occasion, certainly in the high 20's here and there.
I have opened the lower petcock and drained the water and have left the petcock open. Will this protect the block, or should I close the petcock and add some anti-freeze? the car is not running.
thank you for your suggestions.
