What is the total coolant capasity in a 170 CI 6 cyl Lark. In the radiator, the block, the hoses, and heater core. I do not need all of this broken up, I just need to preplan for a flush and refill. Also when re-installing the lower water drain plug on the back of the block, do you use pipe thread, plummers putty, black pipe sealant or nothing at all? Please advise. Thank you !

If it is threaded I would use teflon tape. It will make a good seal and will make taking it out 20 years from now a lot easier.

If you can wait for an answer for about 8 hours I will look it up in my 61 Lark owners manual. On the rear drain plug you can use the newer teflon pipe sealant paste. Depending upon how long the plug has been in the block, you may want to replace it. Look for a brass hex head plug if you can find one in that size.

$2.10 per gal. for water? Yeah, I think that's a good marketing ploy.

Thanks, I guess.
