I had a little time today to look at the cap, it is the wrong one. I measured the fill neck and the cap is NOT sealing at the bottom of the neck. What is the correct cap for this car? (4lb.-7lb.) I have not checked the timing.
The P.O. said he had the radiator rodded and cleaned. I will get some stats in there and find a cap that seals the neck. I also will repair the overflow tube and install an overflow tank. These thing might take me some time, I'll repost the results when I get these items fixed. Thanks again for all the ideas!
