About Evans Coolant
I am ordering some of this for my 87 TII and I am wondering if you guys could tell me how to tell if/where I am leaking coolant from. Or any precautions/replacment parts I should take/get before I do this. I think I might have a slight coolant leak somewhere as I have been having to add now and then. Thanks.

Read the Evans NPG+ Instructions here:

The important thing is to get all the old water and coolant out. I use an air powered vacumm pump hooked up yo a modifies radiator cap to draw a vacuum on the freshly flushed system.
As for as parts. My philosphy is not to install 50.00 worth of coolant in a medicore cooling system. I would replace all hoses and have the radiator flushed.
I would also do an exhaust gas test of the coolant to make sure I didn't have a blowwn coolant seal first.
