I have a friend who is not on this list that is having a overheating
problem with a 1955 TF 1500. I offered to query this list for him and
pass on any helpfull ideas.
To correct the overheating he has so far:
Installed a new thermostat. Didn't help so removed the thermostat and
installed a diverter. Didn't help so reinstalled new thermostat
Took radiator to a radiator shop.Was found to be clear. Did not rod it,
did boil it out.
Installed new water pump
Distributor had a wobble - replaced with an electronic ignition.
Has run boil out gunk through the engine twice - had little or no
residue
Installed electric fan. All that did was that if he leaves it on when
he stops after driving, it doesn't boil over.
Any help appreciated
