Good point. Radiator was rodded out a few tear ago.been a long time since I
flushed the engine. Been thinking about an aluminum radiator but will flush
the engine first. I really dont think it's a head gasket, but I ordered a
gas checking chemical just to rule it out.
Thanks

<p>You say that the engine was rebuilt 40 years ago. Was the coolant
replaced and the engine/radiator flushed periodically, say every
