I may mix my antifreeze a little strong, 2 gallons of 100% Preston and the rest water in all my "A's". Never look back or worry. They run cool, never lime up, or freeze. I remember my Dad always worrying and fretting about whether he had enough antifreeze in the vehicle to keep it from freezing. I remember his old Chevy froze up and busted the head once, and he was always having the radiator freeze up while driving down the road because he never got the freezing point below the coldest the thermometers read in our area. When he was good for -10* and it was probable -5* the fan drawing cold air through the radiator it must have been -30* and always froze up and blew all the water out. I never did get it across to him what was happening. That's why I always go strong on antifreeze and save on heads and blocks and troubles on the road.
