Re: '35 Radiator / water out the tube

With a pressure cap and a recovery bottle you can fill the
radiator up into the filler neck. More coolant, better cooling.

Re: Calling Ol'Ron, calling Ol'Ron...

Re: 1946 Mercury exhaust system source?

I think the Mercury caris longer than the Ford. I had the drive
shaft and rear from a 1948 Mercury and it was 8 or so inches
longer. G.M.
