Re: Adding Coolant Overflow Reservoir to 1967 305E
Coolant being low is normal for these engines in my opinion. With 32 quarts (8 gallons) of coolant there's going to be a lot of contraction/expansion in the liquid. When the 478 is cold I cannot see any coolant in the radiator, but when the engine is up to temp it is nicely above the coolant passages in the radiator.
Never have any problems with overheating, period. If I add more it is blown out through the overflow hose.
One could add an overflow tank, but it one knows the proper level of the coolant I see no need to.
