Hi Everyone,
I just purchased a 1976 Fiat 124 Spider and it looks amazing for its age. It runs and drives very good but I would like to drive it much more but I am scared because of the car overheating. The temp gauge usually sits around a little more than half. How do I do a proper coolant flush in my car and what type of coolant do I use? Can I just use regular Prestone coolant with distilled water? It seems like the previous owner used more water than coolant and that is prob why my car is overheating.
Also, previous changed the Idle speed to 1.8kish because the car seems like its wants to die and bog when you drive it then put it in neutral at a stop. So how do I fix this? PS: I am so completely new to this platform, it is all new to me. I came from a Honda Civic.
