My 1925 which has the same size radiator, 3 row, takes a little over 2 gallons. You only need to fill to just under the bottom of the script on the radiator shell, or about an inch over the core. Any more than that will just get spit out.
I know the voices aren't real but damn they have some good ideas! :shock:

I have 2-26's. I buy one gallon of the green anti-freeze and pour it in, then top it off with distilled water. Usually takes just over a gallon of water. I live in Southern California so it very seldom gets below freezing here. You might need a stronger amount of anti-freeze if it gets colder where you live.
