coolant refill amount?

sure this has been beat up worse than rocky balboa but how much coolant should i put in after a full drain? And to flush do i just run water through the radiator? Thanks fellas.

It takes just under 4 quarts (1 gal) including the recovery tank. I used Honda HP premixed coolant which comes in quarts at 5 bucks per.

It wouldn't hurt to run water through, but I just drain and fill (my old coolant was clean though). Do not use any chemical flush. Have fun.

Just changed mine while doing the manual CCT conversion monday and it was 96 ounces or 3 quarts including the overflow tank.

I drained it out of the bleeder bolt on the front cylinder but like a dummy forgot to drain the overflow. Took about a half gallon to fill up to the top of the rad. Ran it for about five minutes and will check to see if shes still topped off.
