Before the question, I want to thank Barney Gaylord for his help with my
speedometer malfunction, and thank him for the part that corrected it.
Heck of a nice guy - gave good advice, and even sent an item that is no
longer purchaseable out to me from the goodness of his heart at his own
expence. Thanks!!
Now that the speedo works, I drive the car more. I seem to be doing a
lot of overflowing on the coolant. Not overheating, but it is
overflowing. I usually add about a quart of water every 3 or 4 days and
I know that is too much. It doesn't appear to be burning it (and I
replaced the head gasket about 2 years ago due to similar concerns), and
my radiator cap (a safety cap) is fairly new. I also have a new
radiator (from moss from china) within the last year and a new water
pump a couple years ago. I'm thinking about going back to my old water
pump (looks like the original pump from 1958) that had a metal rotor
rather than the later one that had plastic.
Any other advice out there??
