[updated:LAST EDITED ON Feb-23-05 AT 10:28 PM (CST)]Okay, I changed my name once again. I had a few questions, if anyone could answer them.
1) What is the best way to flush out the antifreeze? And, is the ratio 1 gallon Antifreeze to 1 gallon water?
2) I plan on using some engine degreaser and cleaning underneath my truck this weekend. There is "GUNK" EVERYWHERE. I know to cover the dizzy, air cleaner, and carb. Is it okay for the tranny to get sprayed? See, the thing is a long time ago there must have been an oil leak, and it got crap everywhere - it's covered in it - so what areas should I be careful about when spraying?
3) The radio isn't working, so I checked all the wires. When the truck's lights are on, it lights up as well. The antenna is plugged in, the wires are all plugged in, I can't figure it out? Any input?
4) What's the best place to get "multistripes" (basically, 3 pinstripes) I need the stripe to be "white-red-white" but can't find it anywhere in stores or online.

Thanks a bunch, talk to ya'll soon!
