Freeze plug problems

Latest update. Did all the rinsing & drainng of everything. Evaporust foams up when run in the engine. Took alot of flushing. Mixed 50/50 deizonied water with green coolant. Ran it & tested the new mix at 100 degrees. -43, 1,200 plus on the nitrite, 7.5 on the ph. Took it for a 20 mile drive today. Did a retest at 160 degrees & got the same results. I bought coolant test strips & I'm going to test it every time I come back from a drive till I think the problem is gone. I did fix a trans leak as I indicated before. Also fixed an engine oil leak which was alot less fun. I had to pull the trans & reseal oil galley plugs....Joe

As much as I love this hobby, it can really suck sometimes. Stick with it. After all, these are just old Chevrolets. They shouldn't be that complicated
