These people around 1960 and I-45 area have never heard of pre-mixed Dexcool.
Not sure if they know what they are talkin about!

distilled water will work, just make sure its not tap water, sludge and build up is not good for your radiator

if Wal-Mart doesn't have the premixed, they'll have both the distilled water and regular Dex-cool

Or good rain water, tap water has all sorts of crap like chlorine, bleach, fluoride.....
none of it id good for a cooling system. A clean bucket outside, no leaves, pests, or any other crap in there and it is fine, and the best part FREE. only good for a mix or top off, you still have to use antifreeze.

How much regular coolant is in the system? If its just a little low just top it off with water. After the radix install then the cam install later on, I'm sure mine is mostly distilled water/water wetter by now
