What kind of antifreeze should I use in 86 vette

[fore]

I just wonder if I can use Dex-cool silicate free antifreeze instead of ethylene glycol-based antifreeze in my 86 vette. Any body help me?

If it came with green coolant that is all I would put in. Just my $.02

;stupid I've seen a lot of complaints from even those who have had the stuff from the factory Green is good

Use the green stuff, if you don't get every bit of the silicate out of the system and use distilled water, you end up with a sludgy mess over time so I've heard. Unfortunately, I didn't get this advice until after I had already added the orange stuff to mine. I guess we'll see after a few thousand miles.

I'm thinking about trying that EVANS coolant. I read about someone using it, wasn't sure if it was this forum or the "OTHER FORUM". At 25 bucks a bottle for EVANS...I'm not sure what to do at the moment.
