Put in a gallon of 50/50, then I had some regular strength and put about half a gallon of that. Plus whatever might still have been in there...(reg. strength/ distilled water mix) Reservoir is full with mostly the straight stuff and some distilled water. I had flushed it last week then filled with antifreeze/distilled, but then ended up draining it again when I had to change the radiator, so I know the stuff in there is fresh...

Nah... if anything, I'm erring more on the side of a 60/40 split of antifreeze to water..
I lifted the front end on the curb, had the heater on high, and let it run with the cap off. Had a bunch of gurgling and sputtering when the fan went on (still no leaks
)..then the fan actually cycled off (first time since I started all this!Yay! 
) Had more sputtering. Ran it a little more til that died down, then shut her off. Topped off the rad and reservoir, put the cap back on, then started it back up to get it off the curb (my HOA probably hates me enough as it is! LOL)... Gonna wait a little while to cool her down, then check the levels again. If everything looks good, hoping to finally take her for a little drive.
Thanks to everyone for the advice... I feel like a kindergartener that's just made it to first grade..lol

Swapping my injectors, I think ones leaking so mise well. Should I just go with stock ones or what? I've seen people use 703 and mustang injectors. Which ones?

Two questions At what pint in time Can i lose the vacume ball in my 88? . i have a 93 front axle in the front so i don't have to worry about 4wd engaging.
Is it safe to fab up a smaller ball or dose it have to be that size if i cant lose it completely?

If you have cruise or AC, you will still need it.
