I'm planning to do a real good flush of the car in the coming weeks and would like a few tips.
Do you usually hook up the fitting to the heater core outlet hose so as to backflush the heater core? Do you remove any hoses when doing a flush like this? The instructions on the package aren't entirely clear and I haven't been able to find a good write up on this. I have about a three foot length of ¾" hose I snagged from my '66 Mustang that I plan to use in place of the stock heater hose (I don't intend to leave the fitting installed).
Here is what Wichita Falls says about its own water: http://www.wichitafallstx.gov/474/Water-Treatment Does that sound like anything I want to put in my radiator?
The radiator and water pump appear to be new-ish, or at least non-stock units. I'm planning to replace the fan clutch while I'm at it but will leave the current radiator, heater core and water pump in place because I don't want new components to get contaminated with whatever gunk may still be stuck in the block. Plan is to start accumulating new parts (already have a new Motorcraft heater core) in the coming months to go in when the motor gets rebuilt.
