I'm the proud owner of a '29 roadster for all of 2 weeks! Much to learn! Under the hood looks very stock. A week ago I opened the Flying Quail radiator cap to check the coolant level. I could see a metal plate a few inches down. No coolant covering it. So I added some Prestone. Went for a drive of maybe a mile and a half. Parked it in my driveway and turned off the engine. Quite a bit of coolant came out the overflow tube. Quite hot. I have not added any more coolant since. Went for a drive today of maybe 2 miles. Parked the car and turned off the motor. Lots of steam coming out of the overflow tube.
- Is the Model A radiator pressurized?
- Is this normal? I've read here a Model A radiator will find the level it likes.
- Is the Quail radiator cap doing its job? I don't see a gasket on it.
I'm afraid right now of driving it and possibly overheating it.

I've been looking at Mikes Affordable and I like the idea of the oil filter kit. Anyone familiar with it? Is it good?
The gas line coming out of the firewall goes through a brass bulb looking thing. Is that a filter?
- Tips on winterizing? I have filled the gas tank and added stabilizer.
Thank you all for any much needed advice!
