Cooling system problem

[howie123]

Thanks for the suggestions. Yes, the radiator is new from Bratton's Antique Auto Parts so hopefully that is not a problem. Yes, now that I know what I'm looking at I can see the bushing turning with the packing nut. I will pull the pump and check it out when I get the time. I do plan to install a temperature gauge at the same time. I also plan to install the cooling system filter. I will watch for more suggestion. Thanks again. Howie
