When I bought my '46 Super Deluxe, I pulled the rad and heater core, to have them inspected, flushed and pressure tested, as I had read many posts about flatheads overheating. The report from the rad shop showed all was good. I replaced the water pumps to new style, all rad hoses, and went with 180 deg. stats. I would suggest that this service should be done on any old vehicle that sat around for many years.
