Overheating flathead ford gets new aluminum radiator

Eliza 40 was able to get from Illinois to Missouri in the last video, but not without issues. We were experiencing overheating issues for the first time ever. I now believe that the timing slipped due to missing star washers on the points. In this video we install a new aluminum radiator as an added precaution and try it out. #ford flathead #40ford#overheating car#aluminum radiator #classic car#mechanical work#explaining retarded timing

Timing an a good rad is everything for these old flathead. Glad ur up an running, Jeremy. Later Terry.😊

Thanks for watching Terry! Eliza is feeling a bit better, I think

[@RustyInventions-wz6ir]

Turned out really nice. Enjoyed the build or restoration of the car.

Looks like that new radiator and the timing did the job on cooling the old 40. I'm glad it worked out. You take care Jeremy.

[@mywaymanufacturing2817]

Thanks Junior! You take care too.

Eliza is running like a top.

[@garyscarstuff]

Looks like the same brand rad I bought for my car. Hope i have the same luck with it as you did!

[@mywaymanufacturing2817]

Fit great! I guess I don’t really know how well it performs yet. First impressions, it seems good. Thanks for watching!

[@supernovaVII]

Seems like that worked out well.

[@mywaymanufacturing2817]

Seemed to, I hope so

@@mywaymanufacturing2817 That 19lb cap seems wrong for a flathead. But, I don't remember the cap type that was on my 40.

[@mywaymanufacturing2817]

@@supernovaVII yeah I think it should be about 4. That cap would raise the boiling point, but I don’t know how much. I’m going to research that some
