Hi, just bought a '74 TR6 with 84,000 miles on it.  When I got it, it
was running cool but the plumbing was all wrong and the thermostat was
missing.  When I put it back together as it should be, it over heats
badly, even blowing past the 13 pound cap.  When it blows past the cap,
the temp guage is not high at all.  I'm guessing that the radiator is
badly in need of rotting.  Is there something common to TR6s that I
might be missing?  Thanks, Jim
