8N Coolant Capacity

The service manual says 12 quarts, or 3 gallons of coolant. My 8N only holds 11 quarts if filled to the top of the radiator neck. What could be wrong?

ots' of rust in block or plugged tubes in radiator.
 
Or an aftermarket radiator that is slightly smaller than stock...

Really tho, the problem is you worrying too much about numbers....

Fill it up till it stops filling... then use it... when it stops dribbling out the overflow as it warms up, it's just right lol....

It's an original Ford radiator. I was wondering if it's like the "5 gallons" transmission oil. Don't go over 4.5.
 

You don't need to worry about overfilling the radiator, it will set its own level. Just don't freak out at the antifreeze dribbling out in the first few days
