I used to run a 1921 Hupmobile R, a very under-rated and well engineered car, which had no water pump, and a large efficient radiator. I ground the cam and shaved the head, and she pulled like train. It never boiled and in the winter I used to block off half of the rad with a piece of card, to get the temperature up!
OK this is in our miserable little island where the sun dont shine much, but all the same....!

Cheers, Tom.
