*Maintain the proper coolant/water mix to prevent freezing up in winter. Water transfers heat better than coolant, but some coolant must be used to prevent freezing. | *Maintain the proper coolant/water mix to prevent freezing up in winter.

| − | Although | + | *Although it may likely not be necessary, the water concept of a "water pump conversion disc" is intriguing. Flow Kooler originally marketed flat aluminum discs to rivet to the backside of the stamped steel impeller in the pump. Or, if the impeller is iron, weld or braze a steel disc on. The disc wouldn't be that difficult to fab up yourself. Space the backing plate back farther with a couple of gaskets to prevent interference of the rivet heads on the backing plate if riveting a disc to a stamped steel impeller.

This disc should make an appreciable difference in the flow of water at engine speeds under 3,000 RPMs. |
