Cooling system capacity

Can anyone tell me the total cooling system capacity of my 67 Delta 88 w/ 425 big block? I also wouldn't mind knowing the fuel tank capacity. TIA

edit: sorry, looks like I put this in the wrong section (98)

Thanks a million, that's what I needed to know. It appears I have a VERY slight coolant loss issue (no external leaks). I don't want to pressure test for fear of forcing the leak and making it worse. I'm gonna try a block/head gasket sealer called K-Seal... one bottle is supposed to treat up to 21 qt system, so sounds like it should be plenty. I have a few co-workers that have had really good luck with this product (though I've never used it myself).

No problem, I hope you have good luck with the sealer. Great looking car by the way.

Thanks.
I'm assuming this car was not originally equipped with a coolant recovery tank... or was it removed? Anyway, I think I'll pick up & install a universal tank this weekend. Thanks again for the help.
